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

Calcum chloride contains only calcum and chloride What is the fomula for this compound? fou need the Peodie Table for thia quest
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

CaCl_2

Explanation:

Calcium is the element of the group 2 and period 4 which means that the valence electronic configuration is [Ar]4s^2.

Chlorine is the element of the group 17 and period 3 which means that the valence electronic configuration is [Ne]3s^23p^5.

Thus, calcium losses 2 electrons to 2 atoms of chlorine and these 2 atoms of chlorine accepts each electron to form ionic bond. This is done in order that the octet of the atoms are complete and they become stable.

Ca         Cl

2            1

Cross multiplying the valency, We get, CaCl_2

Thus, the formula of calcium chloride is CaCl_2.

Explain the difference between a physical property and a chemical property
Eduardwww [97]
Physical property-  is an aspect of matter that can be observed or measured without touching changing it.

Chemical property- may only be observed by changing the chemical identity of a substance.

The difference would be that for physical property's you dont need to do anything to figure out what they are, but for chemical properties you need to change something to observe them.

How many times higher is the concentration of H+ in the Hubbard Brook sample than in unpolluted rainwater?
Anna [14]

Answer:

1. 7 (a neutral solution)

Answer: 10-7= 0.0000001 moles per liter

2. 5.6 (unpolluted rainwater)

Answer: 10-5.6 = 0.0000025 moles per liter

3. 3.7 (first acid rain sample in North America)

Answer: 10-3.7 = 0.00020 moles per liter

The concentration of H+ in the Hubbard Brook sample is 0.00020/0.0000025, which is 80 times higher than the H+ concentration in unpolluted rainwater.

Which physical method can be used for obtaining a sample of salt from a sm
lana [24]

The physical method that can be used for obtaining a sample of salt from a small beaker of salt and water would be evaporation.

<h3>Separation of salt and water</h3>

A mixture of salt and water can be separated by a method known as evaporation. This is based on the assumption that the salt in question is a water-soluble salt.

In order to separate the salt/water mixture:

  • Place the mixture in a suitable evaporating dish
  • Boil the mixture until all the water evaporates.
  • The remaining residue would be the salt

Care should be taken not to overheat the residue in order to avoid melting. Evaporation is generally used to separate a mixture of water and soluble salt. If the salt is insoluble, filtration using a suitable filter paper will filter off the salt while the water is collected as the filtrate.
