Answer:

alpha particle needs to be added to the equation.

Explanation:

Given;

atomic mass of Americium = 241

atomic mass of neptunium = 237

The difference in atomic mass of the radioactive elements given is calculated as;

241 - 237 = 4

The particle with atomic mass of 4 is alpha particle usually represented with helium atom.

Am²⁴¹ -----> He⁴ + Np²³⁷

Thus, alpha particle needs to be added to the equation.

500.0 mL of a gas is collected at 745.0 mm Hg. what what will the volume be at standard pressure
Irina-Kira [14]
This is an application of Boyle's law:
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂. we don't have to convert volume and pressure to standard forms. we can even use the pressure with mmHg
1 atm = 760 mmHg 
V₂ = P₁V₁ / P₂ = 745 x 500 / 760 = 490 ml
Note that here we assume constant temperature

Is particle size one of the factors that affect solubility? How?
Over [174]
Hello!

The reduction in particle size results in an increased rate of solution. It occur because is harder for a a solvent to surround bigger molecules.

If 5.100 g of c6h6 is burned and the heat produced from the burning is added to 5691 g of water at 21 °c, what is the final temp
emmasim [6.3K]
  <span>C6H12 = 6x12 + 6x1 = 78. 
The equation indicates that 2x78 = 156g benzene will produce 6542kJ. 
Using proportions you can then calculate that 
x/6542kJ = 7.9g / 156g 
x = 331.3kJ = 331300J. 

heat = mass x ΔT x 4.18J/g° 
ΔT = 331300J / (5691g x 4.18J/g°) = 13.9° 

final temp = 21 + 14° = 35°C</span>

<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

= 226 Liters of oxygen

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

We use the equation;

LiClO4 (s) → 2O2 (g) + LiCl, to get the moles of oxygen;

Moles of  LiClO4;

(500 g LiClO4) / (106.3916 g LiClO4/mol)

= 4.6996 moles

Moles of oxygen;

But, for every 1 mol LiClO4, two moles of O2 are produced;

= 9.3992 moles of Oxygen

V = nRT / P

= (9.3992 mol) x (8.3144621 L kPa/K mol) x (21 + 273) K / (101.5 kPa)

= 226 L of oxygen
