Answer:

The first equation shows the alpha decay.

₉₅Am²²⁴ → ₉₃Np²³⁷ + ₂He⁴

Explanation:

The americium with atomic wight 224 undergo alpha decay and produce

₉₃Np²³⁷ . The alpha particle emitted is also called helium nuclei. During this decay some gamma radiations also produce as a byproduct.

₉₅Am²²⁴ → ₉₃Np²³⁷ + ₂He⁴

Properties of alpha radiation:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number 4 less than and atomic number 2 less than the starting atom.

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

Answer: The mass of decane produced is $1.743\times 10^2g$

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ......(1)

Mass of hydrogen gas = 2.45 g

Molar mass of hydrogen gas = 2 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1:, we get:

$\text{Moles of }H_2=\frac{2.45g}{2g/mol}=1.225mol$

The chemical equation for the hydrogenation of decene follows:

$C_{10}H_{20}(l)+H_2(g)\rightarrow C_{10}H_{22}(s)$

As, decene is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, hydrogen gas is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of products.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of hydrogen gas produces 1 mole of decane.

So, 1.225 moles of hydrogen gas will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 1.225=1.225mol$ of decane

Now, calculating the mass of decane by using equation 1, we get:

Moles of decane = 1.225 mol

Molar mass of decane = 142.30 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.225mol=\frac{\text{Mass of decane}}{142.30g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of carbon dioxide}=(1.225mol\times 142.30g/mol)=174.3g=1.743\times 10^2g$

Hence, the mass of decane produced is $1.743\times 10^2g$

Water is capable of dissolving a variety of different substances, which is why it is such a good solvent. It is often called the

Serggg [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

In this case the answer would be

Water is a polar molecule with positive and negative side

Now since these negative and positives are present in the water molecule . In easy terms when a substance reacts with water .the negative part of water ( oxygen ) reacts with the positive part of the substance and the positive part of the water ( hydrogen) reacts with negative part of the substance .if you look at the reason . Water is held up by one of the strongest attraction forces available .since most substances have weaker attraction forces between them ,therefore water can easily overcome them with its forces. Thus giving it the ability to dissolve a variety of substances

Yesterday we combined Hydrochloric Acid HCl with Sodium Hydroxide NaOH in a violent reaction that resulted in water H2O and comm

IceJOKER [234]

Reaction:
HCl + NaOH ---> NaCl + H2O

1 mole of HCl = 36,5 g
1 mole of NaOH = 40g

so, according to the reaction:
1 mol HCl = 1 mol NaOH
so, we need > 36,5 g HCl (hydrochloric acid)

answer: 36,5 g HCl (hydrochloric acid)
 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
next question.

1 mole of NaCl = 58,5 g
1 mole of H2O = 18g

so, according to the reaction:
1 mole of HCl (36,5 g) ----------------- - 1 mole of NaCl (58,5 g)
(the same for NaOH)
i
1 mole of HCl (36,5 g) ------------------ 1 mole of H2O (18 g)
(the same for NaOH)

so, this reaction is stechiometric

answer: 58,5 g NaCl i 18g H2O
