An isotope undergoes radioactive decay. The new isotope that forms has an atomic number that is 2 less than the original isotope

’s.
Which kind of decay has occurred, and how do you know?
alpha decay because alpha particles have a large mass
beta decay because beta particles can have negative charge
alpha decay because alpha particles have two protons and two neutrons

Answer: C

alpha decay because alpha particles have two protons and two neutrons

Explanation:

It is an alpha decay because when this phenomena occurs an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and consequentially decays into another atom with a mass number that is reduced by four an atomic number that is reduced by 2 two. The helium atom consists of two protons and two neutrons.

Therefore, the answer is <span>alpha decay because alpha particles have two protons and two neutrons</span>

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

The following precautions should be followed for a safe and efficient laboratory environment:

The TLC plate should be laid on a paper towel, to ease picking it from the bench top.

The used TLC spotters and the used TLC plates in the appropriate waste containers provided for this purpose should be placed in the blood.

Spills should be cleaned up and contaminated surfaces should be washed with water.

The pipette and/or glassware should be rinsed again with the distilled water, in case there is the slightest doubt about the contamination.

Everything used should be washed with distilled water, including the pipettes.

What is the henry's law constant for co2 at 20∘c? express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate u
Gennadij [26K]
Actually, Henry's Law is an empirical value. It means that it was not obtained out of raw calculations or correlations. This was gathered from experimental results. Hence, you can search its data. At standard temperature of 25°C (298 K),

k = k°e^[2400(1/T - 1/T°)], where k° = 29.4 L·atm/mol
Substituting the values so that T would be in 20°C or 293 K,
k = (29.4 L·atm/mol)e^[2400(1/293 - 1/298)]
k = 33.7 L·atm/mol
