Alpha decay please help (nuclear chemisty)

Chemistry
1 answer:
saw5 [17]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

Given reaction:

           ¹⁰⁸₅₃I   →  ⁴₂He   +  ?

 An alpha particle decay requires that the mass number decreases by 4 and atomic number decreases by 2.

This reaction is called  nuclear fission;

  The unknown compound, say Y, will have mass number and atomic number shown below;

               ¹⁰⁸₅₃I   →  ⁴₂He   +  ᵃₙY

Mass number;                  108  =  4 + a

                                               a = 104

Atomic number ;

                                            53  = 2 + n

                                               n = 51

   Y will be      ¹⁰⁴₅₁Y

The atomic number of the new element is 51; so, it is antimony.

               ¹⁰⁴₅₁Sb

Vinil7 [7]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Explanation:

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.

It is dependent on the type of material and is fixed for a particular type of material. For example: The specific heat capacity of iron material is fixed and the value is 0.444J/g^0C

At 25°C and 1.0 atm, 0.84 g of a gas dissolves in 2.00 L of water. What mass of the gas dissolves
UNO [17]

The mass of the gas dissolved in 1.00 L of water at 25°C and 3.0 atm is equal to 1.26 grams.

<h3>How to determine the mass of the gas dissolved?</h3>

In order to determine the mass of the gas dissolved, we would the calculate the new (final) solubility of this gas by applying this formula:

S₁P₂ = S₂P₁

Making S₂ the subject of formula, we have:

S₂ = (S₁P₂)/P₁

S₂ = (0.42 × 3.0)/1.0

S₂ = 1.26 g/L.

Now, we can determine the mass:

Mass = solubility × volume

Mass = 1.26 × 1.00

Mass = 1.26 grams.

A student investigated how much solid was dissolved in sea water.
SashulF [63]

Answer:

weighing balance/analytical balance

Graduated cylinder/buret

Explanation:

The mass of the evaporating basin could be measured using a weighing balance or an analytical balance. Both are classified as weighing scales but the analytical balance can measure the mass of objects up to 4 decimal places, thus, providing better accuracy in measurement than ordinary weighing balance that can only measure up to 2 decimal places.

In order to measure 50 cm3 of the sea water, a graduated cylinder or a buret can be used. Both equipment can measure up to the same decimal places and, thus, have virtually the same accuracy.
