Which one of the following is a correct representation of an alpha particle?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alex Ar [27]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

₂He⁴  

Explanation:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number less than 4  and atomic number less than 2 as compared to parent atom the starting atom.

Properties of alpha radiation:

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

X2o3 express you answer as a whole number
kobusy [5.1K]
 <span>2.40 - 1.68 =0.72 g of oxigen 
moles = 0.72/16 g/mol=0.045 

moles x = 1.68/ 55.9=0.03 

0.03/0.03 = 1 = x 
0.045 / 0.03 = 1.5 = O 

to get whole numbers multiply by 2

You have 55 grams of glucose(C6H12O6). How many grams of oxygen do you have?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Mass of oxygen in glucose = 29.3g

Explanation:

Mass of glucose given is 55grams.

We are to find the mass of oxygen in this compound.

In the compound we have 6 atoms of oxygen.

Solution

To find the mass of oxygen in glucose, we calculate the formula mass of glucose. We now divide the formula mass of the oxygen atom with that of the glucose and multiply by the given mass to find the unkown mass.

Atomic mass of C = 12g

                           H = 1g

                           O = 16g

Formula mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ = {(12x6) + (1x12) + (16x6)} = 180

             Mass of O in glucose = \frac{6x16}{180}  x 55

                                                  = \frac{96}{180} x 55

                                                  = 0.53 x 55

            Mass of oxygen in glucose = 29.3g

If you start with 30 moles of O2, how many moles of SiO2 can you make?
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

30moles of SiO₂

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of O₂  = 30moles

Unknown:

Number of moles of SiO₂  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to write the reaction expression:

       Si +  O₂  →  SiO₂  

The reaction is balanced;

      1 mole of O₂ will produce 1 mole of SiO₂

     30mole of O₂ will produce 30moles of SiO₂

Explain why water is polar. Check all that apply. View Available Hint(s) Water is known as a polar molecule because Check all th
sineoko [7]

Answer:

The correct statements that you must check are:

  • The oxygen atom has a greater attraction for electrons than the hydrogen atom does (second statement).

  • The electrons of the covalent bond are not shared equally between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms (fourth statement).

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the relative ability of an atom to pull the electrons in a covalent bond.

Hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.20 and oxygen has 3.44. That means that oxygen attracts the electrons more strongly than hydrogen does (second statement).

As consequence, the electrons in the covalent bond H - O of water are not shared equally (fourth statement): the electron density will  be higher around the O atoms.

Of course, this discards the statement telling that hydrogen atom attracts electrons much more strongly than the oxygen atom, and the statement telling that hydrogen and oxigen have same electronegativity.

Such difference in electron densities creates a dipole moment, so you discard the last statement (that the water dipole moment is equal to zero).
