Write a nuclear equation for the decay of Polonium 211

Chemistry
1 answer:
kumpel [21]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

₈₄Po²¹¹   →   ₈₂Pb²⁰⁷  + ₂He⁴  + energy

Explanation:

Polonium-211 is unstable nuclei. It undergoes alpha decay and produce Pb-207 and alpha particle.

Nuclear equation:

₈₄Po²¹¹   →   ₈₂Pb²⁰⁷  + ₂He⁴  + energy

Properties of alpha radiation:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number less than 4  and atomic number less than 2 as compared to parent atom the starting atom.

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

WILL RECIEVE MEDAL!If 1.2 kilograms of rust form on a bridge in five days, what should be the rate of reaction in grams per hour
serious [3.7K]
<span>Since the answer is in grams, kilograms must first be converted to grams. A kilogram is equivalent to 1000 grams. Therefore, multiply 1.2 kilograms by 1000 and you get 1,200 grams. Then, calculate the number of hours in 5 days. Each day is 24 hours and 24 hours multiplied by 5 days equals 120 hours. Lastly, since the answer is in grams per hour, divide 1,200 grams by 120 hours and the resultant rate of reaction is 10 g/hr.</span>

What are the Physical changes for oxygen?
wolverine [178]

Answer:

Oxygen is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas. It changes from a gas to a liquid at a temperature of -182.96°C (-297.33°F). The liquid formed has a slightly bluish color to it. Liquid oxygen can then be solidified or frozen at a temperature of -218.4°C (-361.2°F).

In terms of shape and volume, how can a gas be defined ?
Gnoma [55]

Particles in a gas are far apart compared to a solid or liquid, allowing it not to have a definitive shape or volume. This also means that gases can fill any container and be easily compressed.

6 C(s) + 3 H2(g) → 2 C6H6(l) Δ H = 49 kJ<br><br> TRUE or FALSE
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

True => ΔH°f for C₆H₆ = 49 Kj/mole

Explanation:

See Thermodynamic Properties Table in appendix of most college level general chemistry texts. The values shown are for the standard heat of formation of substances at 25°C. The Standard Heat of Formation of a substance - by definition - is the amount of heat energy gained or lost on formation of the substance from its basic elements in their standard state. C₆H₆(l) is formed from Carbon and Hydrogen in their basic standard states. All elements in their basic standard states have ΔH°f values equal to zero Kj/mole.
