<h3>Answer:</h3>

Lead-205 (Pb-205)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

  • An atom of Po-209

We are supposed to identify its product after an alpha decay;

  • Polonium-209 has a mass number of 209 and an atomic number of 84.
  • When an element undergoes an alpha decay, the mass number decreases by 4 while the atomic number decreases by 2.
  • Therefore, when Po-209 undergoes alpha decay it results to the formation of a product with a mass number of 205 and atomic number of 82.
  • The product from this decay is Pb-205, because Pb-205 has a mass number of 205 and atomic number 82.
  • The equation for the decay is;

²⁰⁹₈₄Po → ²⁰⁵₈₂Pb + ⁴₂He

  • Note; An alpha particle is represented by a helium nucleus, ⁴₂He.

Explain why each mineral has its own properties, different from every other mineral
kaheart [24]
Each mineral has its own properties different from other minerals because minerals are made up of different elements. Different elements which can be found on the periodic table all have unique properties, therefore, gold will have distinct properties in comparison with zinc or aluminium for example because they are made up of different elements :))))

What is the total mass of D-glucose dissolved in a 2-μL aliquot of the solution used for this experiment?
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

The total mass of D-Glucose dissolved in a 2μL aliquot is 1 E-4 g

Explanation:

providing a solution to 5% weight-volume as found in commerce:

⇒ % 5 = (5g d-glucose/ 100 mL sln)×100

⇒ 0.05 =  g C6H12O6/mL sln

⇒ g C6H12O6 = (2 μL sln)×(0.001 mL/μL)×(0.05 g C6H12O6/mL sln)

⇒ g C6H12O6 = 1 E-4 g C6H12O6

Give the nuclear symbol (isotope symbol) for the isotope of bromine, Br, that contains 46 neutrons per atom.
Doss [256]
Bromine has 35 protons, and in this case 46 neutrons, so 35 + 46 = 81
Therefore, the symbol is (subscript 35)(superscript 81) Br.
