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.

What is the amount of energy for a photon that has a 125 cm wavelength

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

1.59 x 10⁻²⁵ J.

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is calculated Planck - Einstein's equation:

E = h ν , where

E is the energy of the photon,

h is Planck's constant <em>(h = 6.626 x 10 ⁻³⁴ J.s)</em>

ν is the frequency of the photon

There is a relation between the frequency (ν ) and wave length (λ).

λ.ν = c,

where c is the speed of light in vacuum (c = 3 .0 x 10 ⁸ m/s).

λ = 125 cm = 1.25 m.

<em>Now, E = h.c/λ.</em>

∴ E = h.c/λ = (6.626 x 10 ⁻³⁴ J.s) (3 .0 x 10 ⁸ m/s) / (1.25 m) = 1.59 x 10⁻²⁵ J.

What would happen if I removed a resistor from a parallel circuit? What would

barxatty [35]

Answer:

In a parallel circuit, current divides through resistors and current might be different depending upon the resistor and all resistors have the same potential difference. Therefore, if a parallel resistor was removed then the total resistance of the circuit will increase.

In a titration of 47.41 mL of 0.3764 M ammonia with 0.3838 M aqueous nitric acid, what is the pH of the solution when 47.41 mL +

Volgvan

<u>Answer:</u> The pH of the solution is 1.136

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the moles from molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

<u>For ammonia:</u>

Molarity of ammonia = 0.3764 M

Volume of ammonia = 47.41 mL = 0.04741 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.3764mol/L=\frac{\text{Moles of ammonia}}{0.04741L}\\\\\text{Moles of ammonia}=0.01784mol$

<u>For nitric acid:</u>

Molarity of nitric acid = 0.3838 M

Volume of ammonia = (47.41 + 10.00) mL = 57.41 mL= 0.05741 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.3838mol/L=\frac{\text{Moles of nitric acid}}{0.05741L}\\\\\text{Moles of nitric acid}=0.02203mol$

After the completion of reaction, amount of nitric acid remained = 0.022 - 0.0178 = 0.0042 mol

For the reaction of ammonia with nitric acid, the equation follows:

$NH_3+HNO_3\rightarrow NH_4NO_3$

At $t=0$ 0.0178 0.022

Completion 0 0.0042 0.0178

As, the solution of the reaction is made from strong acid which is nitric acid and the conjugate acid of weak base which is ammonia. So, the pH of the reaction will be based totally on the concentration of nitric acid.

To calculate the pH of the reaction, we use the equation:

$pH=-\log[H^+]$

where,

$[H^+]=\frac{0.0042mol}{0.05741L}=0.0731M$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$pH=-\log(0.0731)\\\\pH=1.136$

Hence, the pH of the solution is 1.136

_Fe2O3 + 2CO —> _Fe + _CO2

soldi70 [24.7K]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Fe₂O₃(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Concept tested: Balancing of chemical equations

A chemical equation is balanced by putting appropriate coefficients on the products and reactants of the equation.
Balancing chemical equations ensures that chemical equations obey law of conservation of mass.
In this case; to balance the above equation we put the coefficients, 1, 3, 2, and 3 on the reactants and products.
Therefore; the balanced chemical equation for the reaction is;

Fe₂O₃(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g)
