Answer: There are 7 alpha-particle emissions and 4 beta-particle emissions involved in this series

Explanation:

Alpha Decay: In this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. The mass number is reduced by 4 units and atomic number is reduced by 2 units.

Beta Decay : It is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron. This is also known as -decay. In this the mass number remains same but the atomic number is increased by 1.

In radioactive decay the sum of atomic number or mass number of reactants must be equal to the sum of atomic number or mass number of products .

$_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{82}^{207}\textrm{Pb}+X_2^4\alpha+Y_{-1}^0e$

Thus for mass number : 235 = 207+4X

4X= 28

X = 7

Thus for atomic number : 92 = 82+2X-Y

2X- Y = 10

2(7) - Y= 10

14-10 = Y

Y= 4

$_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{82}^{207}\textrm{Pb}+7_2^4\alpha+4_{-1}^0e$

Thus there are 7 alpha-particle emissions and 4 beta-particle emissions involved in this series

If 3 moles of a compound use 12 J of energy in a reaction, what is the Hreaction in kJ/mol

igomit [66]

Answer:

$\Delta _RH=4x10^{-3}\frac{kJ}{mol}$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the molar enthalpy of reaction is obtained by dividing the involved energy by the reacting moles:

$\Delta _RH=\frac{12J}{3mol} =4\frac{J}{mol}$

Thus, it is important to notice that the compound "uses" the energy, it means that it absorbs the energy, for that reason the sign is positive. Moreover, computing the result in kJ/mol we finally obtain:

$\Delta _RH=4\frac{J}{mol}*\frac{1kJ}{1000J} =4x10^{-3}\frac{kJ}{mol}$

Best regards.

The most common cooling mechanism for cloud formation is ________.

KatRina [158]

The answer is "Rising and expanding air or atmosphere cooling".
To form a cloud the air must be cooled to the temperature of dew point. when there is expansion of air, it cools to the dew point and thus the formation of cloud happens. This process is very common and used for the formation of clouds.
