Answer:

The only true statement is:

  • a. <u><em>Alpha particles have a mass number of 4</em></u>

Explanation:

<em>Alpha particles</em> are radiactive particles equivalent to a helium nucleus, so they have two protons and two neutrons.

Hence, alpha particles, α, are represented as:

  • ⁴₂He

The superscript 4 to the left of the chemical symbol is the <em>mass number:</em> 2 protons + 2 neutrons = 4

The subscript 2 to the left of the chemical symbol is the atomic number: 2 protons = 2.

Hence, the statement "a. Alpha particles have a mass number of 4" is true.

As for the other statements, you have:

<em>b. Alpha particles have a nulear charge of +1:</em> <u>false</u>

Since, these particles are the nucleous of the helium atom, the nuclear charge equals the number of protons of this atom: +2. Hence, the statement is false.

c. <em>Alpha particle formation is accompanied by the conversion of a proton into a neutron</em> and d. <em>Alpha particle formation is accompanied by the conversion of a neutron into a proton</em>. <u>(both false</u>)

The conversion of a protons into a neutrons and the conversion of a neutron into a proton are product of other kind of radiactive desintegrations.

  • The conversion of a proton into a neutron involves the emission of a positron ( particle with same mass as the electron but positive charge) from the nucleus, which is represented as ⁰₊₁β.

  • The conversion of a neutron into a proton involves the emssion of an electron from the nucleus, which is the emission of a beta particle represented as ⁰₋₁β.

Therefore, these last two statements are also false.

The table shows the properties of some organic compounds.
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Yo sup??

since A has a hydroxyl group ie OH therefore it's an alcohol

and since B has an oxygen between two carbons therefore it's an ether.

hence the correct answer is option B

A is alcohol and B is ether

Hope this helps

The pOH of a solution of KOH is 11.30. What is the [H*] for this solution?​
Sloan [31]

Answer: The concentration of hydrogen ions for this solution is 1.99 \times 10^{-3}.

Explanation:

Given: pOH = 11.30

The relation between pH and pOH is as follows.

pH + pOH = 14

pH + 11.30 = 14

pH = 14 - 11.30

= 2.7

Also, pH is the negative logarithm of concentration of hydrogen ions.

pH = - log [H^{+}]

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

pH = -log [H^{+}]\\2.7 = -log [H^{+}]\\conc. of H^{+} = 1.99 \times 10^{-3}

Thus, we can conclude that the concentration of hydrogen ions for this solution is 1.99 \times 10^{-3}.
