Unstable, radioactive atom emits alpha and gamma ray to transform into a stable atom.
Emitting an alpha particle, decreases the mass number by four and atomic number by two.
Emitting gamma ray reduces the excess energy of the radioactive atom.
Answer:
194.6 mL of SO₂
Explanation:
The reaction that takes place is:
P₄S₃ + 6O₂(g) → P₄O₁₀ + 3SO₂(g)
<u>To solve this problem we need to use PV=nRT</u>, so first let's convert the given units:
- 23.8 °C → 23.8 + 273.15 = 296.95 K
- 747 torr → 747/760 = 0.983 atm
We need to calculate V, so in order to do that we calculate n, using the mass of the reactant (P₄S₃):
0.576 g P₄S₃ *
= 7.85 * 10⁻³ mol SO₂ = n
PV=nRT
0.983 atm * V = 7.85 * 10⁻³ mol * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 296.95 K
V = 0.1946 L
- Finally we convert L into mL:
0.1946 * 1000 = 194.6 mL
Answer:

Explanation:
We want to convert from moles to grams, so we must use the molar mass.
<h3>1. Molar Mass</h3>
The molar mass is the mass of 1 mole of a substance. It is the same as the atomic masses on the Periodic Table, but the units are grams per mole (g/mol) instead of atomic mass units (amu).
We are given the compound PI₃ or phosphorus triiodide. Look up the molar masses of the individual elements.
- Phosphorus (P): 30.973762 g/mol
- Iodine (I): 126.9045 g/mol
Note that there is a subscript of 3 after the I in the formula. This means there are 3 moles of iodine in 1 mole of the compound PI₃. We should multiply iodine's molar mass by 3, then add phosphorus's molar mass.
- I₃: 126.9045 * 3=380.7135 g/mol
- PI₃: 30.973762 + 380.7135 = 411.687262 g/mol
<h3>2. Convert Moles to Grams</h3>
Use the molar mass as a ratio.

We want to convert 3.14 moles to grams, so we multiply by that value.

The units of moles of PI₃ cancel.


<h3>3. Round</h3>
The original measurement of moles has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, that is the tens place.
The 2 in the ones place tells us to leave the 9.

3.14 moles of phosphorous triiodide is approximately equal to <u>1290 grams of phosphorus triodide.</u>
Scientists can measure the height in
different units but problem could arise when they compare all the measurements.
That is the reason there is standard units for measurements.
<span>There may be error arises when an
American scientist is measuring the height of an object in inches and other Australian
scientist is measuring the height of same object in meters. Their data cannot
be compared because they are using different units to measure height.</span>
