What happens in radioactive decay to the atom

Chemistry
1 answer:
notsponge [240]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

When radioactive atoms decay, they release energy in the form of ionizing radiation (alpha particles, beta particles and/or gamma rays). The energy is called ionizing radiation because it has enough energy to knock tightly bound electrons from an atom's orbit. This causes the atom to become a charged ion

“Water” is the best thermal insulator.

Option: B

<u>Explanation</u>:

“Thermal insulators” are the materials which do not allow heat to transfer. “Water” is the substance which does not transfer heat. Hence, the “water” is the best “thermal insulator”. Water is the bad conductor of thermal heat. Water has “low thermal conductivity” than other substances, so this acts as an insulator as long as it is not traveled from one place to another. Heat is transferred when a “hot object collides” with “the cold objects”. The “thermal conductivity” of “water” is 0.6 W/m K.

Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), HC9H7O4, is the most widely used pain reliever and fever reducer. Find the pH of 0.035 M aqueous
KatRina [158]

<u> </u> The pH of 0.035 M aqueous aspirin is 2.48

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Concentration of aspirin = 0.035 M

The chemical equation for the dissociation of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) follows:

               HC_9H_7O_4\rightleftharpoons H^++C_9H_7O_4^-

<u>Initial:</u>         0.035

<u>At eqllm:</u>    0.035-x        x         x

The expression of K_a for above equation follows:

K_a=\frac{[C_9H_7O_4^-][H^+]}{[HC_9H_7O_4]}

We are given:

K_a=3.6\times 10^{-4}

Putting values in above expression, we get:

3.6\times 10^{-4}=\frac{x\times x}{(0.035-x)}\\\\x=-0.0037,0.0033

Neglecting the value of x = -0.0037 because concentration cannot be negative

So, concentration of H^+ = x = 0.0033 M

  • To calculate the pH of the solution, we use the equation:

pH=-\log[H^+]

We are given:

H^+ = 0.0033 M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

pH=-\log(0.0033)\\\\pH=2.48

Hence, the pH of 0.035 M aqueous aspirin is 2.48
