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

A sample of neon has a volume of 40.81 m3 at 23.5C. At what temperature, in Kelvins, would the gas occupy 50.00 cubic meters? As
mezya [45]

At  \fbox{\begin \\363 K \end{minispace}}  temperature, a sample of neon gas will occupy 50.00 \text{ m}^{3} volume.

Further Explanation:

The given problem is based on the concept of Charles’ law. Charles’ law states that “at constant pressure and fixed mass the volume occupied an ideal gas is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature.”

Mathematically the law can be expressed as,

\fbox{ \begin \\ V \propto T \end{minispace}}

Or,

\frac{V}{T}=k

Here, <em>V</em> is the volume of the gas, <em>T</em> is Kelvin temperature, and <em>k</em> is proportionality constant.

Given information:

The initial volume of neon gas is 40.81 \text{ m}^{3} .

The final volume of neon gas is  50.00 \text{ m}^{3}.

The initial temperature value is 23.5 \text{ } ^{\circ} \text{C} .

To calculate:

The final temperature

Given Condition:

  • The pressure is constant.
  • Mass of gas is fixed.

Solution:

Step 1: Modify the mathematical expression for Charles’ law for two different temperature and volume values as follows:

\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}

Here,

  • V_{1}is the initial volume of the gas.
  • V_{2} is the final volume of the gas.
  • T_{1} is the initial temperature of the gas.
  • T_{2} is the final temperature of the gas.

Step 2: Rearrange equation (2) for .

\fbox {\begin \\T_{2}=\frac{(V_{2}) \times (T_{1})}{V_{1}}\\\end{minispace}}                                                                  …… (2)

Step 3: Convert the given temperature  from degree Celsius to Kelvin.

The conversion factor to convert degree Celsius to Kelvin is,

T(\text{K}) = T(^{\circ}\text{C}) + 273.15                                      …… (3)

Substitute 23.5\text{ }^{\circ} \text{C} for T(^{\circ}\text{C})  in equation (3) to convert temperature from degree Celsius to Kelvin.

T(\text{K}) = 23.5 \text{ } ^{\circ} \text{C} + 273.15\\T(\text{K})= 296.65 \text{ K}

Step 4: Substitute 40.81 \text{ m}^{3}  for V_{1} ,  50.00 \text{ m}^{3} for V_{2}  and  296.65 \text{ K} for T_{1}  in equation (2) and calculate the value of T_{2} .

T_{2}=\frac{(50.00 \text{ m}^{3}) \times (296.65 \text{ K})}{40.81 \text{ m}^{3}}\\T_{2}=363.45 \text{ K}\\T_{2} \approx 363 \text{ K}

Important note:

  • The temperature must be in Kelvin.
  • The condition of fixed mass and fixed pressure must be fulfilled in order to apply Charles’ law.

What happens when you increase the temperature of a reaction?
aalyn [17]
D. More collisions occur and the time required for the reaction decreases
This happens because according to collision theory, when energy (in this case, thermal energy) is applied to particles, they move/vibrate more quickly.
