Answer:

The equation that correctly describes the decay is :

\frac{226}{88}Ra -----> \frac{222}{86}Rn + \frac{4}{2}He

Explanation:

When the solid radium start decaying in order to form the radon gas, it starts losing two protons with one neutron. The two neutron as well as one proton together forms an alpha particle, hence a type of radiation is formed. Also we know that radon itself is radioactive as it also leads to the decay, after that it loses an alpha particle and also form an element called as polonium. Radium being the most stable form of isotope, radium 226, also holds a half life of 1600 years. It will decay into radon 222 through the alpha decay or can also lead 212 by ejecting a carbon 14 nucleus.

QUESTION 1 Choose the statement that best reflects the three basic steps of any recrystallization Dissolve the impure solid in a
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Dissolve the impure solid in a minimal amount of boiling solvent, cool the solution to form crystals, vacuum filter the solution to collect the pure crystals.

Explanation:

Recrystallization is a process when a solid with impurities is purified. To do this a solvent of the compound we want must be used. We need to use only the quantity necessary to dissolve the compound of interest, otherwise, the solvent will dissolve the impurities or it will interfere in the crystallization.

For most of the solids, the solubility increases with the increase of the temperature, so to speed up the process, heat must be added at the system, or the solvent must be boiling. Then, the solution will be cooled to form the crystals of the compound purified, and then it must be filtered in a vacuum because the crystals can slow down the filtration.

(b) in what way are carbon dioxide and orange juice similar?​
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

The effects of supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2) on the microbiological, sensory (taste, odour, and colour), nutritional (vitamin C content), and physical (cloud, total acidity, pH, and °Brix) qualities of orange juice were studied. The CO2 treatment was performed in a 1 litre capacity double-walled reactor equipped with a magnetic stirring system. Freshly extracted orange juice was treated with supercritical CO2, pasteurised at 90°C, or left untreated. There were no significant differences in the sensory attributes and physical qualities between the CO2 treated juice and freshly extracted juice. The CO2 treated juice retained 88% of its vitamin C, while the pasteurised juice was notably different from the fresh juice and preserved only 57% of its vitamin C content. After 8 weeks of storage at 4°C, there was no microbial growth in the CO2 treated juice.

A balloon contains a fixed amount of helium. If the initial conditions are 1.12 liters, 3.00 atmospheres, and 19 degrees Celsius
Semmy [17]

Answer:

The final volume will be 3.39 liters

Explanation:

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

P1 = 3 atm

T1 = 19( degrees celsius) + 273 = 292 K

V2 = TO BE DETERMINED

P2 =1 atm

T2 = 22( degrees celsius) + 273 = 295 k

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

V2 = P1V1T2/P2T1 = (3)(1.12)(295)/(1)292) = 3.39 Liters
