How much energy is released by the decay of 3 grams of 230Th in the following reaction 230 Th - 226Ra + "He (230 Th = 229.9837 g

Serhud [2]

<u>Answer:</u> The energy released for the decay of 3 grams of 230-Thorium is $2.728\times 10^{-15}J$

<u>Explanation:</u>

First we have to calculate the mass defect $(\Delta m)$ .

The equation for the alpha decay of thorium nucleus follows:

$_{90}^{230}\textrm{Th}\rightarrow _{88}^{226}\textrm{Ra}+_2^{4}\textrm{He}$

To calculate the mass defect, we use the equation:

Mass defect = Sum of mass of product - Sum of mass of reactant

$\Delta m=(m_{Ra}+m_{He})-(m_{Th})$

$\Delta m=(225.9771+4.008)-(229.9837)=1.4\times 10^{-3}amu=2.324\times 10^{-30}kg$

(Conversion factor: $1amu=1.66\times 10^{-27}kg$ )

To calculate the energy released, we use Einstein equation, which is:

$E=\Delta mc^2$

$E=(2.324\times 10^{-30}kg)\times (3\times 10^8m/s)^2$

$E=2.0916\times 10^{-13}J$

The energy released for 230 grams of decay of thorium is $2.0916\times 10^{-13}J$

We need to calculate the energy released for the decay of 3 grams of thorium. By applying unitary method, we get:

As, 230 grams of Th release energy of = $2.0916\times 10^{-13}J$

Then, 3 grams of Th will release energy of = $\frac{2.0916\times 10^{-13}}{230}\times 3=2.728\times 10^{-15}J$

Hence, the energy released for the decay of 3 grams of 230-Thorium is $2.728\times 10^{-15}J$

A 8.96-L sample of gas has a pressure of 1.86 atm and a temperature of 94 °C. The sample is allowed to expand to a volume of 11.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Explanation:

All you have to do here is use the ideal gas law equation, which looks like this

P

V

=

n

R

T

−−−−−−−−−−

Here

P

is the pressure of the gas

V

is the volume it occupies

n

is the number of moles of gas present in the sample

R

is the universal gas constant, equal to

0.0821

atm L

mol K

T

is the absolute temperature of the gas

Rearrange the equation to solve for

T

P

V

=

n

R

T

⇒

T

=

P

V

n

R

Before plugging in your values, make sure that the units given to you match those used in the expression of the universal gas constant.

In this case, the volume is given in liters and the pressure in atmospheres, so you're good to go.

Plug in your values to find

An ion has a mass number of 65, 36 neutrons, and a charge of +1 . Identify the element symbol, and determine the number of proto

docker41 [41]

Answer:

Element symbol Cu

Number of protons 29

Number of electrons 28

Explanation:

To get the element symbol, we need the name of the element. To correctly identify the name of the element, we need the proton number.

Now the mass number is 65 and the number of neutrons is 36. The number of protons is this the mass number minus the number of neutrons. This equals 65 - 36 = 29 protons.

The element with 29 protons is copper Cu.

Now to get the number of electrons, for an electrically neutral atom , the number of electrons equals the number of protons. But here, the atom is not electrically neutral anymore as it has now formed a univalent positive ion of +1.

To form a positive ion, you have to do so by losing electrons. The atom in question here has just lost one electron. Thus, our of the 29, it is left with only 28 electrons.
