If a uranium atom undergoes both alpha and gamma decay, what happens to it?

Chemistry

WARRIOR [948]3 years ago
5 0

If a uranium atom undergoes both alpha and gamma decay, then it means that there will be formation of one helium particle which is also known as alpha particle and gamma decay is the radiation or release of energy. Whereas in a radioactive reaction, Uranium-235 absorbs a neutron and splits into two new atoms.

hope this helps

Answer: _{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_0^1\textrm{n}\rightarrow _{56}^{143}Ba+_{36}^{90}Kr+3_0^1\textrm{n}

Explanation: Nuclear fission : It is a process which involves the conversion of a heavier nuclei into two or more small and stable nuclei along with the release of energy.

General representation of an element is given as:   _Z^A\textrm{X}

where,

Z represents Atomic number

A represents Mass number

X represents the symbol of an element

Alpha decay : When a larger nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing alpha particle. In this process, the mass number and atomic number is reduced by 4 and 2 units respectively.

Gamma radiations does not carry any charge and are electrically neutral.

The equation for the decay will be written as:_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_0^1\textrm{n}\rightarrow _{56}^{143}Ba+_{36}^{90}Kr+3_0^1\textrm{n}

Define the following:
Advocard [28]

Answer:

A. Passive Transport is migration of a molecule from one side of the cell membrane to the other, from an area of high electrochemical potential to a region of lower electrochemical potential.

B. Diffusion is an individual molecule of a material moving from a high-concentration location to a low-concentration area over a semipermeable barrier

C. Osmosis is the movement of molecules of water through a cell's partly permeable membrane from a liquid with a large concentration of water molecules to a solution with a lower concentration of water molecules.

D. Facilitated Diffusion are molecules that diffuse across the plasma membrane with assistance from membrane proteins, such as channels and carriers.

E. Active transport is the transport of molecules across a cell membrane against a concentration gradient from a low-concentration region to a high-concentration region.

F. Selectively permeable is when some chemicals or ions pass across the membrane, while others are blocked.

G. Cellular respiration are organisms mix oxygen with food molecules, directing the chemical energy in these substances into life-sustaining processes while eliminating carbon dioxide and water as waste material.

5 g of gold and 25 g of silver are mixed to form a single-phase ideal solid solution. (a) how many moles of solution are there?
worty [1.4K]

Mole fraction for silver= 0.2317643/0.3079193

                                     = 0.7526787

Mole fraction for gold=0.076155/0.3079193

                                    =0.2473212

What is Molar Fraction?

The mole fraction is the product of the number of molecules of a specific component in a mixture and its total molecular weight. It serves as a means of indicating how concentrated a solution is.

It is a unit of concentration, defined as the product of the moles of a component and the moles of the entire solution. When all the parts of a solution are summed up, their mole fraction equals 1.

molar mass of silver = 107.8682g/mol

Molar mass of gold= 196.96657g/mol

Therefore mole = mass/molar mass

For silver: 25g/107.8682g/mol = 0.2317643mol

For gold: 15g/196.96657g/mol= 0.076155mol

Total number of mole= 0.2317643+0.076155

                                    = 0.30791193mol

Mole fraction for silver= 0.2317643/0.3079193

                                      = 0.7526787

Mole fraction for gold=0.076155/0.3079193

                                     =0.2473212
