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

Consider the following reaction at equilibrium: 2NH3 (g) N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) Le Châtelier's principle predicts that the moles of H2
Lilit [14]

Answer:

A decrease in the total volume of the reaction vessel (T constant)

Explanation:

  • Le Châtelier's principle predicts that the moles of H2 in the reaction container will increase with a decrease in the total volume of the reaction vessel.
  • <em><u>According to the Le Chatelier's principle, when a chnage is a applied to a system at equilibrium, then the equilibrium will shift in a way that counteracts the effect causing it.</u></em>
  • In this case, a decrease in volume means there is an increase in pressure, therefore the equilibrium will shift towards the side with the fewer number of moles of gas.

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Assume an original volume of blood of one deciliter (100 ml). if 5 ml of oxygen diffuses into the blood, 100 ml will be its final volume.

A tissue is made up of white blood cells, platelets, red blood cells, and other elements suspended in a liquid. Blood transports waste away and delivers nutrients and oxygen to the tissues. The entire amount of fluid moving through the heart's arteries, capillaries, veins, venules, and chambers is referred to as blood volume. Red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), platelets, and plasma are the elements that give blood volume.

The amount of water and sodium ingested, expelled by the kidneys into the urine, and lost through the digestive system, lungs, and skin determines blood volume. The amounts of salt and water that are consumed and excreted vary greatly.

A sugar crystal contains approximately 1.4×1017 sucrose (C12H22O11) molecules. What is its mass in milligrams? Express using 2 s
alekssr [168]

Answer:

From the periodic table:

mass of carbon = 12 grams

mass of hydrogen = 1 grams

mass of oxygen = 16 grams

molar mass of surcose = 12(12) + 22(1) + 11(16) = 342 grams

number of molecules = number of moles x Avogadro's number

number of moles = number of molecules / Avogadro's number

number of moles = (2.2x10^17) / (6.02x10^23) = 3.6544 x 10^-7 moles

number of moles = mass / molar mass

mass = number of moles x molar mass

= 1.7 x 10^17/6.022 x 10^23.
