What happens during radioactive decay?

Chemistry

Answer:

When a radioactive atom undergoes a nuclear decay event (the significant decay modes are alpha decay, beta decay, electron capture, and spontaneous fission), the decaying nucleus undergoes a transformation in identity associated with the change in the number of protons in the nucleus

What is the boiling point of an aqueous solution that has a vapor pressure of 23.0 torr at 25 ∘C? (P∘H2O=23.78 torr; Kb= 0.512 ∘
UNO [17]

Answer:

Boiling point of the solution is 100.964°C

Explanation:

In this problem, first, you must use Raoult's law to calculate molality of the solution. When you find the molality you can obtain the boiling point elevation because of the effect of the solute in the solution (Colligative properties).

Using Raoult's law:

Psol = Xwater × P°water.

As vapour pressure of the solution is 23.0torr and for the pure water is 23.78torr:

23.0torr= Xwater × 23.78torr.

0.9672 = Xwater.

The mole fraction of water is:

0.9672 = \frac{X_{H_2O}}{X_{H_2O}+X_{solute}}

Also,

1 = X_{H_2O}+X_{solute}

You can assume moles of water are 0.9672 and moles of solute are 1- 0.9672 = 0.0328 moles

Molality is defined as the ratio between moles of solute (0.0328moles) and kg of solvent. kg of solvent are:

09672mol *\frac{18.01g}{1mol}* \frac{1kg}{1000g} = 0.01742kg

Molality of the solution is:

0.0328mol Solute / 0.01742kg = 1.883m

Boiling point elevation formula is:

ΔT = Kb×m×i

<em>Where ΔT is how many °C increase the boiling point regard to pure solvent, Kb is a constant (0.512°C/m for water), m molality (1.883m) and i is Van't Hoff factor (Assuming a i=1).</em>

Replacing:

ΔT = 0.512°C/m×1.882m×1

ΔT = 0.964°C

As the boiling point of water is 100°C,

<h3>Boiling point of the solution is 100.964°C</h3>

PLEASE HELP!?!.!,! What are the products of the combustion of a hydrocarbon?
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

carbon dioxide and water

Explanation:

Example: Combustion of Methane (CH₄(g))

CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) => CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g)**

____________________

Note: The combustion of any hydrocarbon produces CO₂ & H₂O. That is,

Ethane (C₂H₆) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

Propane (C₃H₈) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

Butane (C₄H₁₀) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

The issue remaining is to balance the reaction equation. For these type equation balance Carbon 1st, then Hydrogen and finish with Oxygen. Balancing in this order leaves Oxygen which can be balanced using fractions. If problem requires lowest whole number ratios of elements, simply multiply entire equation by 2 to get standard equation*

______________________

*Standard Equation is defined as the smallest whole number ratios of elements. The 'standard equation' is significant in that it is assumed to be at STP conditions; i.e., 0⁰C (=273K) & 1.0 Atmosphere pressure.

  • Ethane (C₂H₆) + 7/2O₂(g) => 2CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(g)

    => 2C₂H₆ + 7O₂(g) => 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(g)  <= Standard Form of Rxn

  • Propane (C₃H₈) + 5O₂(g) => 3CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(g) <= Standard Form of Rxn (no need to balance with the '2' multiple)
  • Butane (C₄H₁₀) + 13/2O₂ => 4CO₂(g) + 5H₂O(g)

    => 2C₃H₈ + 13O₂(g) => 4CO₂(g) + 5H₂O(g) <= Standard Form of Rxn

______________________

**Also, note that water, H₂O(g), is listed as a gas. In some cases it will be listed as a liquid, H₂O(l).
