23492u undergoes alpha decay. what is the atomic number of the resulting element.

Alpha decay involves the loss of an alpha particle, aka a helium nucleus. This results in the mass number of the original element decreasing by 4 and the atomic number decreasing by 2. Assuming 23942u is uranium (92), the resulting element's atomic number is 90, making it thorium.

A sodium hydroxide solution is made by mixing 8.70 g NaOH with 100 g of water. The resulting solution has a density of 1.087 g/m

Ahat [919]

Answer:

Mass fraction = 0.08004

Mole fraction = 0.0377

Explanation:

Given, Mass of NaOH = 8.70 g

Mass of solution = 8.70 + 100 g = 108.70 g

$Mass\ fraction\ of\ NaOH=\frac {8.70}{108.70}$ = 0.08004

Molar mass of NaOH = 39.997 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{8.70\ g}{39.997\ g/mol}$

$Moles\ of\ NaOH= 0.2175\ mol$

Given, Mass of water = 100 g

Molar mass of water = 18.0153 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{100\ g}{18.0153\ g/mol}$

$Moles\ of\ water= 5.5508\ mol$

So, according to definition of mole fraction:

$Mole\ fraction\ of\ NaOH=\frac {n_{NaOH}}{n_{NaOH}+n_{water}}$

$Mole\ fraction\ of\ NaOH=\frac {0.2175}{0.2175+5.5508}=0.0377$

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 years. How long will it take for 112. 5 g of a 120. 0-g sample to decay radioactively? 5,730

vichka [17]

The time taken by Carbon-14 to decay radioactively from 120g to 112.5g is 22,920 years.

<h3>How do we calculate the total time of decay?</h3>

Time required for the whole radioactive decay of any substance will be calculated by using the below link:

T = (n)(t), where

t = half life time = 5730 years
n = number of half life required for the decay

Initial mass of Carbon-14 = 120g

Final mass of Carbon-14 = 112.5g

Left mass = 120 - 112 = 7.5g

Number of required half life for this will be:

1: 120 → 60
2: 60 → 30
3: 30 → 15
4: 15 → 7.5

4 half lives are required, now on putting values we get

T = (4)(5730) = 22,920 years

Hence required time for the decay is 22,920 years.
