iren [92.7K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Er-144 -------> Dy-140 + He-4

Explanation:

Alpha decay is the release of a hydrogen nucleus.  So the original atom will decrease the mass by 4 and the atomic number by 2.

The center on your school’s basketball team is 6 ft 10 in tall. How tall is the player in millimeters (mm)?
svp [43]

The answer is 6 ft 10 inches in millimeters (mm) is 0.833 ft.

Given,

The center of the school's basketball team is 6 ft 10 inches tall.

We have to convert the height of the player from feet and inches to feet.

Using the conversion factor,

1 ft = 12 inches

or, 12inches/ 1 ft

Converting 6ft 10 inches to ft, we get;

10 inches × 1 ft/ 12inches

= 0.833 ft

Therefore 6 ft 10 inches in millimeters (mm) is 0.833 ft.

Unit conversion is a method in which we multiply or divide with a particular numerical factor and then finally round off to the nearest significant digits.

Balance the following redox reaction in acidic solution. Zn(s)+MnO−4(aq)→ Zn+2(aq)+Mn+2(aq)
devlian [24]

Answer:

2MnO₄⁻ + 5Zn + 16H⁺ → 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O + 5Zn²⁺

Explanation:

To balance a redox reaction in an acidic medium, we simply follow some rules:

  1. Split the reaction into an oxidation and reduction half.
  2. By inspecting, balance the half equations with respect to the charges and atoms.
  3. In acidic medium, one atom of H₂O is used to balance up each oxygen atom and one H⁺ balances up each hydrogen atom on the deficient side of the equation.
  4. Use electrons to balance the charges. Add the appropriate numbers of electrons the side with more charge and obtain a uniform charge on both sides.
  5. Multiply both equations with appropriate factors to balance the electrons in the two half equations.
  6. Add up the balanced half equations and cancel out any specie that occur on both sides.
  7. Check to see if the charge and atoms are balanced.

Solution

                            Zn + MnO₄⁻ → Zn²⁺ + Mn²⁺

The half equations:

                      Zn → Zn²⁺                          Oxidation half

                      MnO₄⁻ → Mn²⁺                  Reduction half

Balancing of atoms(in acidic medium)

                     Zn → Zn²⁺

                    MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ → Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O

Balancing of charge

                   Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻

                    MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ + 5e⁻→ Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O

Balancing of electrons

         Multiply the oxidation half by 5 and reduction half by 2:

                          5Zn → 5Zn²⁺ + 10e⁻

                        2MnO₄⁻ + 16H⁺ + 10e⁻→ 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O

Adding up the two equations gives:

              5Zn + 2MnO₄⁻ + 16H⁺ + 10e⁻ → 5Zn²⁺ + 10e⁻ + 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O

The net equation gives:

         5Zn + 2MnO₄⁻ + 16H⁺ → 5Zn²⁺ + 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O
