What is the product if an atom of Po-209<br> undergoes alpha decay?
g100num [7]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Lead-205 (Pb-205)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

  • An atom of Po-209

We are supposed to identify its product after an alpha decay;

  • Polonium-209 has a mass number of 209 and an atomic number of 84.
  • When an element undergoes an alpha decay, the mass number decreases by 4 while the atomic number decreases by 2.
  • Therefore, when Po-209 undergoes alpha decay it results to the formation of a product with a mass number of 205 and atomic number of 82.
  • The product from this decay is Pb-205, because Pb-205 has a mass number of 205 and atomic number 82.
  • The equation for the decay is;

²⁰⁹₈₄Po → ²⁰⁵₈₂Pb + ⁴₂He

  • Note; An alpha particle is represented by a helium nucleus, ⁴₂He.

Which one of the following statements is FALSE? a In a neutralization reaction, an acid reacts with base to produce a salt and H
pishuonlain [190]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

HF is a weak acid and not a strong acid. This is because fluorine is a highly electronegative atom and when it combines with a hydrogen atom then it will attract the valence electron of hydrogen atom more towards itself.

As a result, it will not dissociates easily to give hydrogen ion. Hence, it acts as a weak acid.

A neutralization reaction is defined as a reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to give salt and water. For example, HCl + NaOH \rightarrow NaCl + H_{2}O

It is true that, spectator ions "appear in the total ionic equation for a reaction, but not in the net ionic equation".

Titration is defined as a process in which concentration of an unknown solution is determined using a solution of known concentration.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement HF, HCl, and HNO3 are all examples of strong acids, is false.

Given each pair, complete the sentences to determine which member of each has the stronger intermolecular dispersion forces.
evablogger [386]

Answer:

CH3CH2CH2Cl

CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2SH

Br2

Explanation:

Dispersion forces increases with increase in relative molecular mass. The specie having the greater relative molecular mass definitely has greater dispersion forces. A rough estimation of the relative molecular masses of the species stated in the answer will reveal this fact.
