Question

For the following reaction, provide the missing information

Answer 1

Answer:

19. Option B. ⁰₋₁B

20. Option D. ²¹⁰₈₄Po

Explanation:

19. ²²⁸₈₈Ra —> ²²⁸₈₉Ac + ʸₓZ

Thus, we can determine ʸₓZ as follow:

228 = 228 + y

Collect like terms

228 – 228 = y

y = 0

88 = 89 + x

Collect like terms

88 – 89 = x

x = –1

Thus,

ʸ ₓZ => ⁰₋₁Z => ⁰₋₁B

²²⁸₈₈Ra —> ²²⁸₈₉Ac + ʸₓZ

²²⁸₈₈Ra —> ²²⁸₈₉Ac + ⁰₋₁B

20. ᵘᵥX —> ²⁰⁶₈₂Pb + ⁴₂He

Thus, we can determine ᵘᵥX as follow:

u = 206 + 4

u = 210

v = 82 + 2

v = 84

Thus,

ᵘᵥX => ²¹⁰₈₄X => ²¹⁰₈₄Po

ᵘᵥX —> ²⁰⁶₈₂Pb + ⁴₂He

²¹⁰₈₄Po —> ²⁰⁶₈₂Pb + ⁴₂He
