Answer: The resulting isotope is ^{231}_{92}\textrm {U}

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.

^{235}_{92}\textrm{U} \rightarrow ^{231}_{90}\textrm {Th}+^{4}_{2}n

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.

^{231}_{90}\textrm{Th}\rightarrow ^{231}_{92}\textrm {Th}+2^{0}_{-1}n

The resulting isotope is ^{231}_{92}\textrm {U}

PLEASEEEE HELP MEEEEE

Answer:

3.82 x 10²¹ molecules As₂O₃

Explanation:

To find the amount of molecules arsenic (III) oxide (As₂O₃), you need to (1) convert kg to lbs, then (2) convert g As₂O₃ to moles As₂O₃ (via molar mass), and then (3) convert moles to molecules (via Avogadro's number).

1 kilogram = 2.2 lb

Molar Mass (As₂O₃): 2(74.992 g/mol) + 3(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (As₂O₃): 197.978 g/mol

Avogadro's Number:

6.022 x 10²³ molecules = 1 mole

0.0146 g As₂O₃            1 kg                  189 lb
------------------------  x  ---------------  x  ------------------  x   ................
         1 kg                     2.2 lb          

       1 mole                6.022 x 10²³ molecules
x  ------------------  x  ---------------------------------------  = 3.82 x 10²¹ molecules As₂O₃
      197.978 g                        1 mole

Briefly explain formality in solution.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Both molarity and formality express concentration as moles of solute per liter of solution. Formality is a substance's total concentration in solution without regard to its specific chemical form. ... The formality of a solution is defined as the number of formula mass of any solute dissolved in 1 litre of solution.

2Al+3Cl2⟶2AlCl3
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

7.335 moles of  Cl₂ are required to react with 4.89 miles of Al.

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of Al = 4.89 mol

Number of moles of Cl₂ required = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Al + 3Cl₂    →   2AlCl₃

Now we will compare the moles of Al and chlorine from balance chemical equation.

                            Al           :         Cl₂

                             2           :           3

                            4.89      :         3/2×4.89 =7.335 mol

Thus, 7.335 moles of  Cl₂ are required to react with 4.89 miles of Al.
