What change in mass number occurs when a radioactive atom emits an alpha particle?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alik [6]3 years ago
6 0
The alpha particle is the helium nucleus.
The mass of helium nucleus (⁴₂He) is 4u.


The mass of radioactive atom decreases by 4u. Look at the reaction below:

²²³₈₈Ra ---> ⁴₂He + ²¹⁹₈₆Rn

What is 3.5x10^2 x 8.0x10^-2 in scientific notation
docker41 [41]
Scientific notation is defined as writing a number between 0 to 10 multiplied by a power of 10
3.5 x 10² x 8.0 x 10⁻²
when we solve the equation 
answer - 28 
to write in scientific notation the decimal point should come after the first digit from the right. to bring the decimal point from after digit 8 to after digit 2, we have to move one decimal place to the left. then we get 2.8, to get the value as 28 we have to multiply 2.8 by 10
therefore answer is 
2.8 x 10¹

Which of the following is not a reason for creating hybrid plants?
Softa [21]
I say C because why would you want a plant to resist something that helps it grow? A, B, and D make sense because those can improve the quality of the plant, but fertilizer can improve plant quality and help it grow. So there is no reason to resist it.

Why are pure liquids and solids not included in the reaction quotient or the equilibrium constant expression for a given heterog
AfilCa [17]

Pure liquids and solids at the equilibrium stage:

Pure solids and pure liquids are not included in expressions for the equilibrium constant of heterogeneous equilibria since their concentrations are constant across time. Therefore, including it in our equilibrium expression is not significant.

Equilibrium expression:

When a certain chemical reaction is in equilibrium, the rates of the forward and backward reactions are equal, which means that there is no net change in the concentrations of the reactants and products and that the reaction mixture's composition does not change.

The concentration of solid and liquid:

Solid or liquid concentration,

= No. of Moles/ Volume in L

= Mass/(Volume × molar mass)

= Density/ Molar mass

Pure solids and liquids have constant densities and molar masses at a constant temperature.

Because of this, they have constant molar concentrations, which means that they are not considered in the equilibrium constant for a heterogeneous reaction.
