Answer: ₉₈²⁵³Cf
253 is a superscript to the left of the symbol, Cf, which represents the mass number, and 98 is a subscript to the left of the same symbol, which represents the atomic number.
Explanation:
1) The alpha decay equation shows that the isotope Fm - 257, whose nucleus has 100 protons and 157 neutrons, emitted an alpha particle (a nucleus with 2 protons and 2 neutrons).
2) Therefore:
i) the mass number decreased in 4, from 257 to 257 - 4 = 253.
2) the atomic number decreased in 2, from 100 to 100 - 2 = 98.
3) Hence the formed atom has atomic number 98, which is californium, Cf, and the isotope is californium - 253.
4) The item that completes the given alpha decay reaction is:
₉₈²⁵³ Cf.
5) The complete alfpha decay reaction is:
₁₀₀²⁵⁷ Fm → ₉₈²⁵³Cf + ₂⁴He
You can verify the mass balance:
257 = 253 + 4, and
100 = 98 + 2
I'm assuming false but really have no clue
Many compunds have a terminal carbonyl
Aldehyde, Ketone, Carboxylic acid, Amide, Imide, Acid anhydride are the first that come to my mind.
Answer:
It's explained below.
Explanation:
An everyday situation is when we raise an object.
Now, when we raise an object, energy is transferred to the Earth object system and thus the gravitational field energy of the system will increase.
Now, this energy is usually released when the object falls. The mechanism of this release is known as gravitational force.
In the same manner, two magnetic and electrically charged objects that are interacting at a distance will exert forces on each other and this can lead to transfer of energy between the interacting objects.
Answer:
pH = 3.02
Explanation:
Acetic Acid is a weak acid (HOAc) that ionizes only ~1.5% as follows:
HOAc ⇄ H⁺ + OAc⁻.
In pure water the hydronium ion concentration [H⁺] equals the acetate ion concentration [OAc⁻] and can be determined* using the formula [H⁺] = [OAc⁻] = SqrRt(Ka·[acid]) = SqrRt(1.8x10⁻⁵ x 0.0500)M = 9.5x10⁻⁴M.
By definition, pH = -log[H⁺] = -log(9.5x10⁻⁴) = 3.02
______________________________________________________
*This formula can be used to determine the [H⁺] & [Anion⁻] concentrations for any weak acid in pure water given its Ka-value and the molar concentration of acid in solution.
