What is the decay mode of radium-226?

Chemistry
1 answer:
inn [45]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Radium-226 is a radioactive decay product in the uranium-238 decay series and is the precursor of radon-222. Radium-228 is a radioactive decay product in the thorium-232 decay series. Both isotopes give rise to many additional short-lived radionuclides, resulting in a wide spectrum of alpha, beta and gamma radiations.

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

half-life = 3.8 days

total time of decay = 15.2 days

initial amount = 100. g

number of half-lives past: 15.2/3.8 = 4 half-lives

4 half-lives = 1/16 remains

100. g x 1/16 = 6.25 g

<span>11.3 kPa The ideal gas law is PV = nRT where P = Pressure V = Volume n = number of moles R = Ideal gas constant (8.3144598 L*kPa/(K*mol) ) T = Absolute temperature We have everything except moles and volume. But we can calculate moles by starting with the atomic weight of argon and neon. Atomic weight argon = 39.948 Atomic weight neon = 20.1797 Moles Ar = 1.00 g / 39.948 g/mol = 0.025032542 mol Moles Ne = 0.500 g / 20.1797 g/mol = 0.024777375 mol Total moles gas particles = 0.025032542 mol + 0.024777375 mol = 0.049809918 mol Now take the ideal gas equation and solve for P, then substitute known values and solve. PV = nRT P = nRT/V P = 0.049809918 mol * 8.3144598 L*kPa/(K*mol) * 275 K/5.00 L P = 113.8892033 L*kPa / 5.00 L P = 22.77784066 kPa Now let's determine the percent of pressure provided by neon by calculating the percentage of neon atoms. Divide the number of moles of neon by the total number of moles. 0.024777375 mol / 0.049809918 mol = 0.497438592 Now multiply by the pressure 0.497438592 * 22.77784066 kPa = 11.33057699 kPa Round the result to 3 significant figures, giving 11.3 kPa</span>
