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}

A chemist measures the amount of chlorine gas produced during an experiment. She finds that of chlorine gas is produced. Calcula
Trava [24]

Answer:

0.779 moles.

Explanation:

Mass of chlorine/number of moles = molar mass of chlorine.

Molar mass of chlorine = (35.5*2)

= 71 g/mol.

Mass = 55.3 g of chlorine.

Number of moles = 55.3/71

= 0.779 moles.
