What is the atomic number of pt-175 after it undergoes alpha decay

Chemistry
1 answer:
DanielleElmas [232]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

76

Explanation:

Alpha decay is one of the most basic forms of radioactive decay. It has an atomic mass of 4 and a proton number of two.

Undergoing an alpha decay will decrease the atomic mass by four and the atomic number by two.

In this particular question, we are particular about the atomic number. The atom has an atomic number of 78. So taking 2 off this gives 76

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A reaction in which heat and light are produced is a combustion reaction. Combustion is said to have occurred when a substance is burnt in oxygen.

The balanced equation of the reaction is;

4Li(s) + O2(g) ------->2Li2O(s)

This reaction is exothermic because heat was produced. The reaction has a low activation energy as the metal easily burst into flames in oxygen. A catalyst is not needed in this reaction because it has a low activation energy.

According to the law of conservation of mass. Atoms are neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. What this means is that in a chemical reaction, the number of atoms of each element on the left hand side must be the same as the same as the number of atoms of the same element on the right hand side.

At rest, a neuron has a lower concentration of sodium than the surrounding fluid. The neuron also has a higher concentration of
pshichka [43]

Answer:

a. Remaining at rest requires the use of ATP.

Explanation:

The resting membrane potential is maintained by the sodium-potassium pump. The sodium potassium pump does this by actively pumping sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions inside the cell in a ratio of 3:2. This movement of ions by the sodium-potassium pump is against their concentration gradient. In a neuron at rest, there are more sodium ions outside the cell than there are inside the cell. Also, there are are more potassium ions inside the cell than there are outside the cell. However, there are ion channels through which these ions enter and leave the cell. Sodium ion channels allow sodium to enter the cell following its concentration gradient, whereas, potassium ion channels allow potassium to leave the cell following its concentration gradient. However, more potassium ions leave the cell than do sodium ions enter the cell because of the higher permeability of the cell to potassium ions.

In order to maintain the resting membrane potential, the sodium potassium pump powered by the hydrolysis of an ATP molecules pumps sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell.

<em>Therefore, the correct option is A, as ATP is needed by the sodium-potassium pump in order to maintain the resting membrane potential.</em>

The gas in a closed container has a pressure of 3.00 x 10² kPa 30 ° C. What will the pressure be if the temperature is lowered t
Rainbow [258]

Answer: 100kPa

Explanation:

P1 = 3.00 x 10² kPa , P2 =?

T1 = 30°C = 30 +273 = 303k

T2 = —172°C = —172 + 273 = 101k

P1/T1 = P2/T2

3 x 10² / 303 = P2 / 101

P2 = (3 x 10² / 303) x 101

P2 = 100kPa

If an unknown substance CANNOT be broken down into simpler substances, it is
lisov135 [29]

The correct answer is b. an element

The explanation:

when the ELEMENT is define as substance that cannot be decomposed (broken down) into simpler substances by ordinary chemical means. Examples: gold, iron, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen

Ex: diamond will be broken into carbon as well.

and SUBSTANCE: Material composed of only one kind of matter throughout (same atoms or same molecules).
