Answer:

When an atoms has too many neutrons.

Explanation:

When an unstable atom loses energy and charged particles (radiation) through radiation it is a phenomenon called radioactive decay, when a substantial energy is lost the atom becomes stable.There are five types of radioactive decay:

  1. Alpha decay
  2. Beta negative decay
  3. Gamma decay
  4. Beta positive decay
  5. Electron capture

Radioactivity or radioactive decay is the process that occurs when unstable isotopes or atoms release energy by emitting radiations such as ,gamma radiations, alpha radiations and beta radiations to attain stability. Therefore, in this case decay is likely to occur when a given atom has two many neutrons in its nucleus in order to attain stability.

__MgCl2 +
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

24.5 g of NaCl

Explanation:

We begin from the balanced reaction:

3MgCl₂ +   2Na₃PO₄  →    6NaCl   +  Mg₃(PO₄)₂

If the sodium phosphate is in excess, then the limting reagent is the magnessium chloride.

We convert mass to moles:

20 g . 1mol / 95.2g = 0.210 moles.

3 moles of MgCl₂ can produce 6 moles of NaCl

0.210 moles of salt, may produce (0.210 . 6) /3 = 0.420 moles

Ratio of reactant is twice the product

We convert the moles to mass:

0.420 mol .  58.45 g/mol = 24.5 g

Which of the following lists the correct symbol for the ion that tin forms when it loses 2 electrons, the correct classification
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf Option \ A}

Explanation:

The symbol for TIN is Sn.

When Sn loses 2 electrons, it gets a double positive charge ( +2 ) and becomes \sf Sn ^{+2}.

It becomes a cation.

The name of Ion is Tin ( II ) Ion.

Aspirin sun thesis Green Chemistry and Assime the aspirin is prepared by the following reaction and that 10.09. of salicylic aci
klemol [59]

<u>Answer:</u> The percentage yield of aspirin is 38.02 %.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}      .....(1)

  • <u>For salicylic acid:</u>

Given mass of salicylic acid (C_7H_6O_3) = 10.09 g

Molar mass of salicylic acid (C_7H_6O_3) = 138.12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of salicylic acid}=\frac{10.09g}{138.12g/mol}=0.0730mol

The chemical equation for the formation of aspirin follows:

C_7H_6O_3+C_4H_6O_3\rightarrow C_9H_8O_4+CH_3COOH

As, acetic anhydride is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, salicylic acid is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of products.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of salicylic acid produces 1 mole of aspirin.

So, 0.0730 moles of salicylic acid will produce = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.0730=0.0730mol of aspirin

Now, calculating the mass of aspirin from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of aspirin = 180.16 g/mol

Moles of aspirin = 0.073 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.073mol=\frac{\text{Mass of aspirin}}{180.16g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of aspirin}=13.15g

To calculate the percentage yield of aspirin, we use the equation:

\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100

Experimental yield of aspirin = 5.0 g

Theoretical yield of aspirin = 13.15 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\%\text{ yield of aspirin}=\frac{5.0g}{13.15g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of aspirin}=38.02\%

Hence, the percent yield of aspirin is 38.01 %.
