The daughter isotope : Radon-222 (Rn-222).

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Radium (Ra-226) undergoes an alpha decay

Required

The daughter nuclide

Solution

Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,

alpha α particles ₂He⁴
beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
gamma particles ₀γ⁰
positron particles ₁e⁰
neutron ₀n¹

The decay reaction uses the principle: the sum of the atomic number and mass number before and after decay are the same

Radium (Ra-226) : ₈₈²²⁶Ra

Alpha particles : ₂⁴He

So Radon-226 emits alpha α particles ₂He⁴ , so the atomic number decreases by 2, mass number decreases by 4

The reaction :

₈₈²²⁶Ra ⇒ ₂⁴He + ₈₆²²²Rn

What happens when chlorine from<br> CFCs mixes with ozone?

Svetach [21]

Answer:

Because they are extremely stable molecules, CFCs do not react easily with other chemicals in the lower atmosphere. ... Free chlorine atoms then react with ozone molecules, taking one oxygen atom to form chlorine monoxide and leaving an ordinary oxygen molecule.

A chemist prepares a solution of magnesium chloride MgCl2 by measuring out 49.mg of MgCl2 into a 100.mL volumetric flask and fil

Flura [38]

Answer: Molarity of $Cl^-$ anions in the chemist's solution is 0.0104 M

Explanation:

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present per liter of the solution.

Formula used :

$Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}$

where,

n= moles of solute

$Moles=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}=\frac{0.049g}{95g/mol}=5.2\times 10^{-4}moles$

$V_s$ = volume of solution in ml = 100 ml

Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get

$Molarity=\frac{5.2\times 10^{-4}moles\times 1000}{100ml}=5.2\times 10^{-3}mole/L$

Therefore, the molarity of solution will be $5.2\times 10^{-3}mole/L$

$MgCl_2\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2Cl^-$

As 1 mole of $MgCl_2$ gives 2 moles of $Cl^-$

Thus $5.2\times 10^{-3}$ moles of $MgCl_2$ gives = $\frac{2}{1}\times 5.2\times 10^{-3}=0.0104$

Thus the molarity of $Cl^-$ anions in the chemist's solution is 0.0104 M

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Gases are easily compressed. We can see evidence of this in Table 1 in Thermal Expansion of Solids and Liquids, where you will note that gases have the largest coefficients of volume expansion. The large coefficients mean that gases expand and contract very rapidly with temperature changes. In addition, you will note that most gases expand at the same rate, or have the same β. This raises the question as to why gases should all act in nearly the same way, when liquids and solids have widely varying expansion rates.

The answer lies in the large separation of atoms and molecules in gases, compared to their sizes, as illustrated in Figure 2. Because atoms and molecules have large separations, forces between them can be ignored, except when they collide with each other during collisions. The motion of atoms and molecules (at temperatures well above the boiling temperature) is fast, such that the gas occupies all of the accessible volume and the expansion of gases is rapid. In contrast, in liquids and solids, atoms and molecules are closer together and are quite sensitive to the forces between them.

The natural abundances of elements in the human body, expressed as percent by mass, are: oxygen (O),65 percent; carbon (C), 18 p

almond37 [142]

Answer:

The mass in grams of each element in the body of 62 Kg are

Oxygen 40300 g

Carbon 11160 g

Hydrogen 6200 g

Nitrogen 1860 g

Calcium 992 g

Phosphorus 744 g

Other elements 744 g

It is possible to check it adding all the components, the total is 62000 g.

Explanation:

Firstly, we have a total mass of 62 Kg and the composition as a percentage of each component.

Percentage ( %)

Oxygen 65.0

Carbon 18.0

Hydrogen 10.0

Nitrogen 3.0

Calcium 1.6

Phosphorus 1.2

Other elements 1.2

Taking the definition of a percentage as part of hundred total, each percentage can be expressed as a decimal number. We should divide the percentage with 100 of total. For example: Oxygen 65%, it means 65/100 = 0.65. So, Oxygen is 0.65 in decimal numbers. We do the same for each component.

Percentage ( %) Decimal number

Oxygen 65.0 65/100 = 0.65

Carbon 18.0 18/100 = 0.18

Hydrogen 10.0 10/100 = 0.10

Nitrogen 3.0 3/100 = 0.03

Calcium 1.6 1.6/100 = 0.016

Phosphorus 1.2 1.2/100 = 0.012

Other elements 1.2 1.2/100 = 0.012

Finally. We can multiply decimal number of each component taking the total. 1 Kg is equivalent to 1000 g.

So, 62 Kg = 62 * 1000 g = 62000 g

After that we get the mass in grams of each element, by multiplying 62000 g and the decimal number of each component as follows:

Percentage ( %) Decimal number Mass in grams (g)

Oxygen 65.0 65/100 = 0.65 0.65*62000=40300

Carbon 18.0 18/100 = 0.18 0.18*62000= 11160

Hydrogen 10.0 10/100 = 0.10 0.10*62000= 6200

Nitrogen 3.0 3/100 = 0.03 0.03*62000= 1860

Calcium 1.6 1.6/100 = 0.016 0.016*62000= 992

Phosphorus 1.2 1.2/100 = 0.012 0.012*62000=744

Other elements 1.2 1.2/100 = 0.012 0.012*62000=744
