The alpha particle is the helium nucleus.
The mass of helium nucleus (⁴₂He) is 4u.
The mass of radioactive atom decreases by 4u. Look at the reaction below:
²²³₈₈Ra ---> ⁴₂He + ²¹⁹₈₆Rn
Explanation:
when hot copper metal reacts with chlorine gas it forms CuCl2 which is yellow in colour.
non metal carbon burns in Oxygen gas they form non metal oxide.
Reaction: 2K₍s₎ + 2H₂O₍l₎ → 2KOH₍aq₎ + H₂₍g₎.
K - potassium.
H₂O - water.
KOH - potassium-hydroxide.
H₂ - hydrogen.
s - solid phase.
l - liquid.
aq - disolves in water.
g - gas.
Reaction is exothermal (release of energy) and potassium burns a purple flame. H<span>ydrogen released during the reaction reacts with </span>oxygen<span> and ignites.</span><span>

NaOH is a strong base and complete dissociation into Na⁺ and OH⁻ ions.
Therefore [NaOH] = [OH⁻]
To calculate the [OH⁻], we can first find the pOH as NaOH is a basic solution.
pH + pOH = 14
Since pH = 11.50
pOH = 14 - 11.50
pOH = 2.50
We can calculate [OH⁻] by knowing pOH
pOH = -log[OH⁻]
[OH⁻] = antilog(-pOH)
[OH⁻] = 3.2 x 10⁻³ M
therefore [NaOH] = 3.2 x 10⁻³ M
