Uranium-238 decays into Thorium-232 by emitting

Chemistry
1 answer:
DaniilM [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

D alpha particles

Explanation:

Radioactive U-238 will decay into Thorium -232 by emitting alpha particles in the process of nuclear fission.

Nuclear fission is the radioactive decay process in which a heavy nucleus spontaneously disintegrates into two lighter ones and several other particles with a large release of energy.

     U-238      →     Th-232 + alpha particles +  2 neutrons + energy

This way the mass and atomic numbers are conserved;

From 1962 until 1981 pennies were made from 95% copper and 5% zinc and had a mass of 3.1 g. Starting in 1982, pennies have been
Sloan [31]

Answer:

2.7724 g

Explanation:

Mass of pre- 1892 pennies = 3.1 g

Abundance = 45.4 %

Mass of post 1892 pennies = 2.5 g

Abundance = 100 - 45.4 = 54.6 %

The average mass is given as = ( 3.1 g   *  45.4 / 100)  +  (2.5g  *  54.6 / 100)

Average Mass = 3.1 * 0.454   +   2.5  *  0.546

Average Mass = 1.4074  + 1.365 = 2.7724 g

This is the chemical formula for methyl acetate: CH32CO2. Calculate the mass percent of hydrogen in methyl acetate. Round your a
WITCHER [35]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass percent of hydrogen in methyl acetate is 8 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given chemical formula of methyl acetate is CH_3COOCH_3

To calculate the mass percentage of hydrogen in methyl acetate, we use the equation:

\text{Mass percent of hydrogen}=\frac{\text{Mass of hydrogen}}{\text{Mass of methyl acetate}}\times 100

Mass of hydrogen = (6 × 1) = 6 g

Mass of methyl acetate = [(3 × 12) + (6 × 1) + (2 × 16)] = 74 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Mass percent of hydrogen}=\frac{6g}{74g}\times 100=8.10\%=8\%

Hence, the mass percent of hydrogen in methyl acetate is 8 %
