<h3>
Answer:</h3>
Lead-205 (Pb-205)
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
<u>We are given;</u>
We are supposed to identify its product after an alpha decay;
- Polonium-209 has a mass number of 209 and an atomic number of 84.
- When an element undergoes an alpha decay, the mass number decreases by 4 while the atomic number decreases by 2.
- Therefore, when Po-209 undergoes alpha decay it results to the formation of a product with a mass number of 205 and atomic number of 82.
- The product from this decay is Pb-205, because Pb-205 has a mass number of 205 and atomic number 82.
- The equation for the decay is;
²⁰⁹₈₄Po → ²⁰⁵₈₂Pb + ⁴₂He
- Note; An alpha particle is represented by a helium nucleus, ⁴₂He.
Answer:
H₂CO₃→H₂O + CO₂
Exphlanation:
Soda is carbonated water. It contains carbon dioxide dissolved in water , which is carbonic acid. On opening the soda, the carbonic acid undergoes the reverse reaction and releases carbon dioxide in the air . The soda is thus left with just water and loses it's fizz.
