What would be the effect on the nucleus of an atom if it emitted one alpha particle and one gamma ray

1 answer:

4 0

Unstable, radioactive atom emits alpha and gamma ray to transform into a stable atom.

Emitting an alpha particle, decreases the mass number by four and atomic number by two.
Emitting gamma ray reduces the excess energy of the radioactive atom.

Burning, cooking

Explanation:

Chemical changes that happens in school are:

Cooking of meals

Burning of wastes

Chemical reactions in laboratories

Rusting of iron used in construction

A chemical change is a change that produces new kinds of substances.
These changes are usually accompanied by energy and mass changes.
Most of such changes are not reversible.

Chemical changes are driven by change in chemical properties of matter.

In a school, iron components might begin to rust. This is a chemical change.

Consider the reaction. 2 Pb ( s ) + O 2 ( g ) ⟶ 2 PbO ( s ) An excess of oxygen reacts with 451.4 g of lead, forming 367.5 g of

Art [367]

Answer : The percent yield of the reaction is, 75.6 %

Solution : Given,

Mass of Pb = 451.4 g

Molar mass of Pb = 207 g/mole

Molar mass of PbO = 223 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of Pb.

$\text{ Moles of }Pb=\frac{\text{ Mass of }Pb}{\text{ Molar mass of }Pb}=\frac{451.4g}{207g/mole}=2.18moles$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $PbO$

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$2Pb(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2PbO(s)$

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 mole of $Pb$ react to give 2 mole of $PbO$

So, 2.18 mole of $Pb$ react to give 2.18 mole of $PbO$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $PbO$

$\text{ Mass of }PbO=\text{ Moles of }PbO\times \text{ Molar mass of }PbO$

$\text{ Mass of }PbO=(2.18moles)\times (223g/mole)=486.1g$

Theoretical yield of $PbO$ = 486.1 g

Experimental yield of $PbO$ = 367.5 g

Now we have to calculate the percent yield of the reaction.

$\% \text{ yield of the reaction}=\frac{\text{ Experimental yield of }PbO}{\text{ Theoretical yield of }PbO}\times 100$

$\% \text{ yield of the reaction}=\frac{367.5g}{486.1g}\times 100=75.6\%$

Therefore, the percent yield of the reaction is, 75.6 %

The amount of substance present in a certain object with a given half-life in terms of h can be expressed through the equation,

A(t) = (A(o))(0.5)^(t/h)

where A(t) is the amount of substance after t years and A(o) is the original amount. In this item we are given that A(t)/A(o) is equal to 0.89. Substituting the known values,

0.89 = (0.5)(t / 5730 years)

The value of t from the equation is 963.34 years.

Determine the mass of CuSO4 • 5H20 that must be used to prepare 250mL of 2.01 M CuSO4(aq).

mario62 [17]

Given parameters:

Volume of CuSO₄ = 250mL

Concentration of CuSO₄ = 2.01M

Unknown:

Mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O = ?

To solve this problem, we must write the chemical relationship between both species.;

CuSO₄.5H₂O → CuSO₄ + 5H₂O

Now that we know the expression, it is possible to solve for the unknown mass.

First find the number of moles of CuSO₄;

Number of moles = Concentration x Volume

Take 250mL to L so as to ensure uniformity of units;

Volume = 250 x 10⁻³L

Input the parameters and solve for number of moles;

Number of moles = 250 x 10⁻³ x 2.01 = 0.5mol

From the equation;

1 mole of CuSO₄ is produced from 1 mole of CuSO₄.5H₂O

So 0.5 moles of CuSO₄ will be produced from 0.5 moles of CuSO₄.5H₂O

Now let us find the molar mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O = 63.6 + 32 + 4(16) + 5(2x1 + 16) = 249.6g/mole

Mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O = number of moles x molar mass

= 0.5 x 249.6

= 124.8g

The mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O is 124.8g
