What is a balanced nuclear equation for the alpha decay of Strontium-90?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Aleks [24]2 years ago
4 0

<u>Answer:</u> The balanced nuclear equation for the alpha decay of Sr-90 is _{38}^{90}\textrm{Sr}\rightarrow _{36}^{86}\textrm{Kr}+_2^4\alpha

<u>Explanation:</u>

A nuclear reaction is defined as the reaction in which the changes in the nucleus of an atom take place and usually form a different element. The types of decay processes are:

  • Alpha decay
  • Beta-decay
  • Gamma decay

Alpha decay is the process in which a heavy nucleus decays into a light nucleus with the release of an alpha particle. This alpha particle carries a charge of +2 units and has a mass of 4 units. It is also known as the helium nucleus. The general equation for this decay process is:

X_Z^A\rightarrow Y_{Z-2}^{A-4}+\alpha _2^4

The nuclear equation for the alpha decay of strontium-90 isotope follows:

_{38}^{90}\textrm{Sr}\rightarrow _{36}^{86}\textrm{Kr}+_2^4\alpha

A real gas behaves least like an ideal gas under the conditions of
guajiro [1.7K]
The correct answer is option 3. A real gas behaves least like an ideal gas under the conditions of high temperature and low pressure. At this temperature and pressure, the molecules are close to each other and collisions or interactions are very likely to happen which is not an ideal gas.

What is a scientific explanation for a range of hypotheses and observations supported by testing
worty [1.4K]
<span>It verifies the significant relationships of the observed and hypothesized variables in the study.

Furthermore, the authors utilize and make use of the scientific method in order to have clear basis and evidence for their investigations. Research method is always used to answer every scientific inquiry and in gaining evidential data or knowledge. The scientific method has the following process or at least undergoes the process of
1. Observation</span> 
2. Hypothesis 
3. Experimentation 
4. Interpretation of data 
5. Evaluating the data 
6. Passing and recording the data 

<span>These steps are crucial and the empirical data that these scientists obtain are very important to keep that is why research paper, thesis and dissertations exists.<span>

What does your data indicate about the optimum ph level for this enzyme-catalyzed reaction?
mestny [16]
At an optimum pH of 7.0, there are more molecules per minute in all amounts of substrate thus this pH is ideal for maximum growth. 5. Enzymes function most efficiently at the temperature of a typical cell, which is 37 degrees Celsius. Increases or decreases in temperature can significantly lower the reaction rate.

Pyridine, C5H5N, is a polar organic solvent. How many carbon atoms are in 7.05 moles of pyridine? 4.24 x 1024 4.24 x 10, 24 2.12
leonid [27]

Answer:

2.122×10^25atoms

Explanation:

number of moles=mass/molar mass

7.05moles= mass of pyridine/79

reacting mass of pyridine=556.95

C5H5N= (12×5)+(5)+(14)=79

C5=60

to find the mass of carbon in 556.95g of pyridine we take the stoichometric ratio

60[C5] -----> 79[C5H5N]

x[C5] --------> 556.95g[C5H5N]

cross multiply

x=(60×556.95)/79

x=423g of carbon

moles=mass/molar mass

moles of carbon=423/12

moles=35.25moles of carbon

moles=number of particles/Avogadro's constant

35.25=number of particles/6.02×10^23

number of particles=2.122×10^25atoms of carbon
