Write a balanced nuclear equation for the following: The nuclide astatine-218 undergoes alpha emission to give bismuth-214
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, since the radioactive reaction for the alpha emission of astatine-218 to bismith-214 involve the release of a helium atom as shown below:
Whereas the atomic number decreases by 2 and the mass number by 4 in agreement to the release of the Helium atom.
Regards!

Rf value is the ratio of the distance traveled by the solute to that of the solvent front on the paper used in chromatographic separation.
From the image it is clear the distance traveled by solvent front = 7.3 cm
Distance traveled by the component -1 of the mixture = 1.4 cm
Distance traveled by the component -2 of the mixture = 3.0 cm
Distance traveled by the component -3 of the mixture = 4.5 cm
Distance traveled by the component -4 of the mixture = 6.5 cm
Rf value of component-1 =
Rf value of component-2 =
Rf value of component-3 =
Rf value of component-4 =
b) Samples can be separated from a mixture using chromatography as the relative affinities for the compounds towards the paper (stationary phase) and the solvent(mobile phase) are different. Each component spends different amounts of time on the stationary phase depending on it chemical nature. So, the components in a mixture can be separated based on their polarities and relative degrees of adsorption on the stationary phase.
