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

Which of the following is the test for oxygen has?
dem82 [27]
A or B depends on what you mean by lit or glowing but when you place a wooden split in the sample the gas must reignite but there can be some confusion between hydrogen and oxygen mainly because a splint can cause a slight popping sound while it reignites but hydrogen pops are more violent and can most time extinguish the splint.

Acetone major species present when dissolved in water
jek_recluse [69]

Answer: acetone molecule ( CH₃-CO-CH₃)


Explanation:


1) Acetone is CH₃-CO-CH₃


2) That is a molecule (build up of covalent bonds).


3) When dissolved, covalent bonded compounds remain as separate molecules, then it is said that the major species present in the solution is the molecule. The molecules of acetone are surrounded (sovated) by the molecules of water.


This as opposed to the case of ionic compounds that ionize. When a compound as NaCl dissolves in water, it ionizes completely, so the major speceies are not NaCl formulas, but the ions Na⁺ and Cl⁻, not molecules.


That leads to the answer: the major species present when acetone is dissolved in water is the molecules of acetone (you do not need to state the fact that the molecules of water are part of the solution, because that is not the target of the question).

A change resulting in one or more new substances being formed is a?
dem82 [27]

Answer:

C. Chemical change

Explanation:

A physical change is where something is changed but it doesnt affect the build up of the chemical. For example, if you broke sticks and threw them on the ground, that would be a physical change because the change is happening to the physical being of the object and not its chemical buildup. However, if you lit those sticks on fire, that would be considered a chemical change because you end up with two substances, ash and the remnants of the stick. A nuclear reaction would result in something blowing up so its not that. And a physical property is like what it looks like or how it smells. Hope I helped you!
