Answer: The particle released in the given reaction is one alpha particle

Explanation:

In a nuclear reaction, the total mass and total atomic number remains the same.

For the given fission reaction:

$^{222}_{86}\textrm{Rn}\rightarrow ^A_Z\textrm{X}+^{218}_{84}\textrm{Po}$

To calculate A:

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

222 = A + 218

A = 4

To calculate Z:

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

86 = Z + 84

Z = 2

The isotopic symbol of unknown element is $_{2}^{4}\textrm{He}$ . Another name of helium atom is alpha particle.

Hence, the particle released in the given reaction is one alpha particle

Calculate the energy of a photon of this light wave in joules. [Show all calculations, including the equation and substitution w

Ket [755]

The energy of the photon from the calculation performed is 3.5 * 10^-16 J.

<h3>What is a photon?</h3>

A photon is a packet of light. It was derived from the theory of Albert Einstein. The energy of a photon is obtained from; E = hc/λ

h= Plank's constant
c = speed of light
λ = wavelength

Now we have that;

E = 6.6 * 10^-34 * 3 * 10^8/562 * 10^-9

E = 3.5 * 10^-16 J

H2(g)+p4(s)ph3(g) what the answer ?

disa [49]

Answer:

6H2 + P4→ 4PH3

Explanation:

Phosphorus has 4 in it and hydrogen has 3 in it. in order to balance it, we have to put 4 in front of phosphine so that the phosphorus on the product side has an equal amount as to the one on the reactant side.

the only one left to balance is hydrogen and so in order to balance it we put a 6 on h2 because the hydrogen in the product size becomes 12 (4 * 3).

therefore the hydrogen on the reactant side becomes 12 as well (6 * 2)

In a chemical equation, which symbol should be used to indicate that a substance is in solution?

lisov135 [29]

Example :

$2FeCl_3_{(aq)}+2KI_{(aq)}=2FeCl2_{(aq)}+2KCl_{(aq)}+I_2_{(s)}$

If you use the subscript (aq) (=aquaris) , this means that the substance is in a solution.

Subscripts:
-aq-this means that the substance is in a solution
-s-this means that the substance is a solid(or precipitate)
-l-this means that the substance is a liquid
-g-this means that the subtance is a gas
