Why do atoms go through radioactive decay?

They go through radioactive decay because when atoms are unstable by going through it they are emitting radiation in natural process and they gain stability by losing energy.

If a sample of sodium chloride with a mass of
alex41 [277]
Original molarity was 1.7 moles of NaCl

Final molarity was 0.36 moles of NaCl

Given Information:

Original (concentrated) solution: 25 g NaCl in a 250 mL solution, solve for molarity

Final (diluted) solution: More water is added to make the new total volume 1.2 liters, solve for the new molarity

1. Solve for the molarity of the original (concentrated) solution.

Molarity (M) = moles of solute (mol) / liters of solution (L)

Convert the given information to the appropriate units before plugging in and solving for molarity.

Molarity (M) = 0.43 mol NaCl solute / 0.250 L solution = 1.7 M NaCl (original solution)

2. Solve for the molarity of the final (diluted) solution.

Remember that the amount of solute remains constant in a dilution problem; it is just the total volume of the solution that changes due to the addition of solvent.

Molarity (M) = 0.43 mol NaCl solute / 1.2 L solution

Molarity (M) of the final solution = 0.36 M NaCl

I hope this helped:))

What mass of water was produced if 350.0 L of carbon dioxide were made at STP? C3H8 (g) + 5O2(g) → 2CO2 (g) + 4H2O (g)
madam [21]

700 L of water was produced if 350.0 L of carbon dioxide were made at STP.

The quantitative relationship (ratio) between reactants and products in a chemical reaction that produces gases is known as gas stoichiometry. When the created gases are presumed to be ideal and their temperature, pressure, and volume are all known, gas stoichiometry is applicable.

The ideal gas equation is PV=nRT, where n is the number of moles and R is the gas constant, P is the pressure measured in atmospheres (atm), V is the volume measured in liters (L), and

Calculations based on stoichiometry assist scientists and engineers who work in the business world in estimating the number of items they will make using a particular process. They can also assist in determining if a product will be economical to produce.

Reduced growth, reproduction, and survivability for the consumer are typically the results of a significant stoichiometric imbalance between the primary producer and consumer.

A reaction was suppose to produce 20 L of gas. Only 12 litters of gas were produced in the lab. What is the percent yield for th
pogonyaev

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 60 \%}}

Explanation:

Percent yield is a ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield. It is found using this formula:

\% \ yield= \frac {actual \ yield}{theoretical \  yield} *100

The actual yield is 12 liters, because that was actually produced in the lab.

The theoretical yield is 20 liters, because that was the expected yield.

\% \ yield= \frac {12 \ L}{20\ L} *100

\% \ yield= 0.6*100

\% \ yield= 60

For this reaction, the percent yield is 60%.

What is atomic hydrogen?<br>​
goldenfox [79]
A hydrogen atom is an atom of the chemical element hydrogen. The electrically neutral atom contains a single positively charged proton and a single negatively charged electron bound to the nucleus by the Coulomb force. Atomic hydrogen constitutes about 75% of the baryonic mass of the universe.
