Chemistry
1 answer:
BaLLatris [955]2 years ago
7 0

Instability

Explanation:

Isotopes decays because they are unstable. Stable isotopes do not decay.

  • For every atomic nucleus, there is a specific neutron/proton ratio.
  • This ratio ensure that a nuclide is stable.
  • For example, fluorine F, is 10/9 stable.
  • Any nucleus with a neutron/proton combination different from its stability ratio either too many neutrons or too many protons will become unstable.
  • Such nuclide will split into one or more other nuclei with the emission of small particles of matter and considerable amount of energy.

How many moles of methane (CH4) could be made from 4.6 moles of hydrogen?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Number of moles of methane form = 2.3 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of Hydrogen = 4.6 mol

Number of moles of methane form = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

C + 2H₂     →   CH₄

Now we will compare the moles of methane with hydrogen from balance chemical equation.

                     H₂              :           CH₄

                       2              :             1

                     4.6             :            1/2×4.6 = 2.3 mol  

Form 3.6 moles of hydrogen 2.3 moles of methane can be formed.
