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.

Explain why, at room temperature, CO2 is a gas and CS2 is a liquid. You may use diagrams as part of your explanation.
eduard

Explanation:

A. Hydrogen bonding is present in CS2 but not in CO2.

B. CS2 has greater dipole moment than CO2 and thus the dipole-dipole forces in CS2 are stronger.

C. CS2 partly dissociates to form ions and CO2 does not. Therefore, ion-dipole interactions are present in CS2 but not in CO2.

D. The dispersion forces are greater in CS2 than in CO2.

A chef plans to mix 100% vinegar with italian dressing. the italian dressing contains 13% vinegar. the chef wants to make 150 mi
charle [14.2K]
To determine the volume of both concentration of vinegar, we need to set up two equations since we have two unknowns. 

For the first equation, we do a mass balance:

mass of 100% vinegar + mass of 13% vinegar = mass of 42% vinegar

Assuming they have the same densities, then we can write this equation in terms of volume.

V(100%) + V(13%) = V(42%)
   we let x = V(100%)
             y = V(13%)

x + y = 150

For the second equation, we do a component balance:

1.00x + .13y = 150(.42)
x + .13y = 63

The two equations are
x + y = 150
x + .13y = 63

Solving for x and y,
x = 50
y = 100

Therefore, you need to mix 50 mL of the 100% vinegar and 100 mL of the 13% vinegar.

Emily spills concentrated sodium hydroxide solution on her lab bench. What she should do first?
blagie [28]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

She should notify her teacher.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Sodium Hydroxide is very corrosive in nature and it causes Redness, Pain, Serious skin burns and Blisters. Sodium hydroxide does not produce systemic toxicity, but is very CORROSIVE and can cause severe burns in all tissues that it comes in contact with. Therefore she should not touch it and she must notify her teacher as soon as possible.

How many moles of ba(oh)2 are present in 275 ml of 0.200 m ba(oh)2?
DENIUS [597]
You have to put your attention to the unit of concentration. It is expressed in terms of molarity, which is represented in M. It is the number of moles solute per liter solution. So, you simply have to multiply the molarity with the volume in liters.

Volume = 275 mL * 1 L/1000 mL = 0.275 L
<em>Moles Ba(OH)₂ = (0.200 M)(0.275 L) = 0.055 mol</em>
