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

Which is evidence that the reaction below is a redox reaction? 2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl
Mamont248 [21]
A redox reaction --> a reaction whereby oxidation & reduction occurs
Reduction: 
Charge of Cl2 = 0
Charge of Cl- in NaCl = -1
Hence, since charge of Cl2 decreased from 0 in Cl2 to -1 in NaCl, reduction occured. 
Oxidation:
Charge of Na = 0
Charge of Na+ in NaCl = +1
Hence, since charge of Na increased from 0 in Na to +1 in NaCl, oxidation occured.
Since both oxidation & reduction occured in the reaction, it is a redox reaction.

There are two steps in the usual industrial preparation of acrylic acid, the immediate precursor of several useful plastics. In
adell [148]

Answer:

The net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide is 523.2 kJ.

Explanation:

Step 1:

CaC_2(s) + 2H_2O(g)\rightarrow C_2H_2(g) + Ca(OH)_2(s),\Delta H_1=414.0 kJ...[1]

Step 2 :

6C_2H_2(g) + 3CO_2(g) + 4H_2O(g)\rightarrow 5CH_2CHCO_2H(g) \Delta H_2=132.0kJ..[2]

Adding 6 × [1] and [2]:

6CaC_2(s) + 12H_2O(g)\rightarrow 6C_2H_2(g) + 6Ca(OH)_2(s)

6C_2H_2(g)+3CO_2(g)+16H_2O(g)\rightarrow 5CH_2CHCO_2H(g)

we get :

6CaC_2(s) + 8H_2O(g)+3CO_2(g)\rightarrow 5CH_2CHCO_2H(g)+ 6Ca(OH)_2(s),\Delta H'=?

\Delta H'=6\times \Delta H_1+\Delta H_2

\Delta H'=6\times 414.0 kJ+132.0kJ

\Delta H'=2,626 kJ

Energy released on formation of 5 moles of acrylic acid = 2,626 kJ

Energy released on formation of 1 mole of acrylic acid:

\frac{ 2,626 kJ}{5 } = 523.2 kJ

Which of the following is necessarily characterized by a covalent linkage?a. Base-pairing interactionb. Disulfide bondc. Hydroge
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

b. Disulfide bond

Explanation:

Covalent linkage or bonding is a type of bond in which electrons are shared between atoms in a compound or molecule. Each atom contributes to the shared electron.

This is the case of disulfide bonding i.e. S-S, in which two thiol groups (-SH) share electrons with one another. The process of oxidation between two cysteine (amino acid) molecules forms this bond. Hence, Disulfide bond is characterized by a covalent linkage.
