Answer: 1. The mass number is reduced by 4 units and atomic number is reduced by 2 units

2. Mass number remains same but the atomic number is increased by 1.

Explanation:

Alpha Decay: In this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. The mass number is reduced by 4 units and atomic number is reduced by 2 units.

_A^Z\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{A-2}^{Z-4}+_2^4\alpha

Beta Decay : It is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron. This is also known as \beta ^--decay. In this the mass number remains same but the atomic number is increased by 1.

_A^Z\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{A+1}^Z\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0e

How many atoms are in 13.97 liters of water vapor at STP
Arisa [49]
<span>Let's </span>assume that water vapor has ideal gas behavior. <span>
Then we can use ideal gas formula,
PV = nRT<span>

</span><span>Where, P is the pressure of the gas (Pa), V is the volume of the gas (m³), n is the number of moles of gas (mol), R is the universal gas constant ( 8.314 J mol</span></span>⁻¹ K⁻¹) and T is temperature in Kelvin.<span>
<span>
</span>P = 1 atm = 101325 Pa (standard pressure)
V = 13.97 L = 13.97 x 10</span>⁻³ m³<span>
n = ?
R = 8.314 J mol</span>⁻¹ K⁻¹<span>
T = 0 °C = 273 K (standard temperature)
<span>
By substitution,
</span>101325 Pa x 13.97x 10</span>⁻³ m³ = n x 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ x 273 K<span>
                                          n = 0.624 mol
<span>
Hence, the moles of water vapor at STP is 0.624 mol.

According to the </span></span>Avogadro's constant, 1 mole of substance has 6.022 × 10²³ particles.
<span>
Hence, number of atoms in water vapor = 0.624 mol x </span>6.022 × 10²³ mol⁻¹
<span>                                                                = 3.758 x 10</span>²³<span>

Zn + O2= ZnO<br><br> How many moles of zinc are needed to make 500. g of zinc oxide?​
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

5.15 moles

Explanation:

2zn + o2 = 2zno

5.15 2.57 5.15 moles

nzno=500/(16x2+65)= 5.15 moles

-> nzn = 5.15 x 2 ÷ 2 = 5.15 moles
