Answer:
Lead Pb
Explanation:
Firstly, we need to know what occurs when a radioisotope emits an alpha particle. An alpha particle is an helium atom. When an isotope emits an alpha particle, it loses an helium atom corresponding to subtracting 4 from its mass number and 2 from its atomic number. This of course coupled with the release of radiation.
Now, we polonium has a proton number of 84 and a mass number of 210. Subtracting 2 and 4 respectively from its proton and mass numbers will yield 82 and 206 proton and mass numbers respectively.
Hence, the decomposition of the Po-210 isotope will yield an element with 82 proton number and 206 mass number. This corresponds to the element Lead.
210Po ——> 206Pb + alpha particle + radiation
A.electrons are shared between two different nuclei
The correct answer is A. A test tube of zinc oxide. Zinc oxide is a compound which is a pure substance composed of two or more elements. They can only be separated or broken down into its individual elements or smaller compounds by chemical means. Therefore, the answer is a test tube of zinc oxide.
It is a good thing that you already have answered the first question. Now, moving on to the second question, there exist an equation for the neutralization of acid by a base that is shown below,
M₁V₁ = M₂V₂
Now, all the variables in the equation are given except for our unknown which is the V₂. Substituting the known values from the given above,
(0.1 M)(25 mL) = (0.05 M)(V₂)
The value of V₂ from the equation above is 50 mL. Therefore, 50 mL of 0.05 M NaOH solution will be needed to completely react with HNO3.
