The standard state formation reaction is a chemical reaction in which one moles of substance in its standard state is formed from its constituent element in their standard state.All the substance must be in their most stable state at 100kpa and 25 degrees celsius.
therefore for HF is
1/2H2 +1/2F2 =HF
Explanation:
It is known that equation for ideal gas is as follows.
PV = nRT
The given data is as follows.
Pressure, P = 1500 psia, Temperature, T =
= 104 + 460 = 564 R
Volume, V = 2.4 cubic ft, R = 10.73 ![psia ft^{3}/lb mol R](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=psia%20ft%5E%7B3%7D%2Flb%20mol%20R)
Also, we know that number of moles is equal to mass divided by molar mass of the gas.
n = ![\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7Bmass%7D%7B%5Ctext%7Bmolar%20mass%7D%7D)
m = ![n \times W](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=n%20%5Ctimes%20W)
=
= 9.54 lb
Hence, molecular weight of the gas is 9.54 lb.
- We will calculate the density as follows.
d = ![\frac{PM}{RT}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7BPM%7D%7BRT%7D)
=
= 3.975 ![lb/ft^{3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=lb%2Fft%5E%7B3%7D)
- Now, calculate the specific gravity of the gas as follows.
Specific gravity relative to air =
= ![\frac{3.975 lb/ft^{3}}{0.0765 lb/ft^{3}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B3.975%20lb%2Fft%5E%7B3%7D%7D%7B0.0765%20lb%2Fft%5E%7B3%7D%7D)
= 51.96
The nuclear reaction occurring is known as alpha-decay, and during this process, an alpha particle is released from a heavy radioactive nucleus to form a lighter more stable nucleus. The alpha particle is equivalent to a helium nucleus, which means it contains 2 protons and two neutrons (net charge of +2)
The decay equation is:
Rn → Po + α
Electron - negligible mass, negative charge, orbits the nucleus
Proton - 1 AMU, positive charge, in the nucleus
Neutron, 1 AMU, no charge, in the nucleus
