When an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle it decay into an atom with atomic number 2 less and mass number 4 less. Thus Thorium 230 decay as follows.
230 90Th -------> 226 88Th + 4 2 He
thorium is in the atomic number 90 thus it during alpha decay it reduces to atomic number 88 while its 230 mass number reduces to 226
Answer:
Species
Explanation:
Species is the group of organisms able to interbreed and produce fertile offspring.
Let's break down each word in the question:
"Organisms" means living thing. It can be a plant or animal like we usually think of, but it also includes the really small single-celled living things like some bacteria.
"Interbreed" means to mate with each other.
"Fertile" means that the living thing can also have babies.
"Offspring" means the children that are born.
"Fertile offspring" means that the children that are made must be able to have babies of their own. For example, if a frog and a bird could interbreed, they might produce offspring (children). But, if those frog-birds cannot also have children, then frog-bird is not a species.
Answer:
Explanation:
The combustion reaction of Octane is:
To calculate the mass of CO₂ and H₂O produced, we need to know the mass of octane combusted.
We calculate the mass of Octane from the given volume and density, using the following <em>conversion factors</em>:
Now we<u> convert 1.24 gallons to mL</u>:
- 1.24 gallon *
4693.4 mL
We <u>calculate the mass of Octane</u>:
- 4693.4 mL * 0.703 g/mL = 3.30 g Octane
Now we use the <em>stoichiometric ratios</em> and <em>molecular weights</em> to <u>calculate the mass of CO₂ and H₂O</u>:
- CO₂ ⇒ 3.30 g Octane ÷ 114g/mol *
* 44 g/mol = 10.19 g CO₂
- H₂O ⇒ 3.30 g Octane ÷ 114g/mol *
* 18 g/mol = 4.69 g H₂O

A. The molecules of solids are close together and compact, liquids are spread out but not too far apart, and gas molecules are really far apart.
B. Increase in temperature causes pressure to go up. Decrease in temperature cause pressure to go down
