When an isotope emits an alpha particle, its atomic number

Chemistry
1 answer:
Yuri [45]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The atomic number of the isotope is reduced by 2 and atomic mass is reduced by 4.

Explanation:

Alpha particle is doubly ionized helium atom. The atomic mass of helium atom is 4 u and atomic number of helium atom is 2. The emission of alpha particle means doubly ionized helium atom will be released from the isotope.

Hence, the emission of the alpha particle will decrease the atomic mass by 4 and atomic number by 2.

Hence, option(a) is correct

The normal boiling point of c2cl3f3 is 47.6°c and its molar enthalpy of vaporization is 27.49 kj/mol. what is the change in entr
Goshia [24]
According to this formula when:

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS = 0

∴ ΔS = ΔH/T

∴ ΔS = n*ΔHVap / Tvap

- when n is the number of moles = mass/molar mass 

when the mass = 24.1 g 

and the molar mass = 187.3764 g/mol

by substitution: 

∴ n = 24.1 / 187.3764g/mol

      = 0.129 moles

and ΔHvap is the molar enthalpy of vaporization is 27.49 kJ/mol

and Tvap is the temperature in Kelvin = 47.6 + 273 = 320.6 K

So by substitution, we will get the ΔS the change in entropy:

∴ΔS = 0.129 mol * 27490 J/mol / 320.6 K

      = 11 J/K
