<h3>Answer:</h3>

                 Curium-247 <em>i.e.</em> ²⁴⁷₉₆Cm

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Alpha decay is given by following general equation,

                              ᵃₓA    →    ⁴₂He  +  ᵃ⁻⁴ₓ₋₂B

Where;

           A  =  Parent Isotope

           B  =  Daughter Isotope

           ᵃ  =  Mass Number

           ₓ  =  Atomic Number

Californium-251 is the parent isotope in our case and it has 98 protons (atomic number) and is given as,

                                                 ²⁵¹₉₈Cf

The alpha decay reaction of Californium-251 will be as,

                               ²⁵¹₉₈Cf     →     ⁴₂He  +  ²⁴⁷₉₆B

The symbol for B with atomic number 96 was found to be the atom of Curium (Cm) by inspecting periodic table. Hence, the final equation is as follow,

                               ²⁵¹₉₈Cf     →     ⁴₂He  +  ²⁴⁷₉₆Cm

Describe how phospholipids form a barrier between water inside the cell and water outside the cell
Lynna [10]
<span>Phospholipids would have to form a phospholipid bilayer in order to achieve water on the outside and water inside. This is because the nonpolar tails of the phospholipids are facing each other in a water environment because they cannot interact with the water, only their own tails, while the phosphate heads of the molecule face the periphery of the tails and interact with water. Micelles are the simplest examples of these.</span>

a chemist dissolves 0.564 moles of manganese (IV) oxide (MnO2) in water, and adds enough water to make 0.510 L of solution. Calc
ladessa [460]

Answer:

The molarity of the solution is 1.1 \frac{moles}{liter}

Explanation:

Molarity is a measure of the concentration of that substance that is defined as the number of moles of solute divided by the volume of the solution.

The molarity of a solution is calculated by dividing the moles of the solute by the volume of the solution:

molarity=\frac{number of moles of solute}{volume}

Molarity is expressed in units \frac{moles}{liter}

In this case

  • number of moles of solute= 0.564 moles
  • volume= 0.510 L

Replacing:

molarity=\frac{0.564 moles}{0.510 L}

Solving:

molarity= 1.1 \frac{moles}{liter}

<u><em>The molarity of the solution is 1.1 </em></u>\frac{moles}{liter}<u><em></em></u>

An unknown metal absorbs 61 J of heat, and its temperature increases by 29∘C. What is the heat capacity of the metal?
aniked [119]

Answer:

2.103 J/C

Explanation:

Quantity of heat = Heat Capacity * Temperature change

Heat Capacity = Quantity of heat / Temperature Change

Heat Capacity = 61/29

Heat Capacity = 2.103 J/C
