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

Mrac [35]
  • E(Bonds broken) = 1371 kJ/mol reaction
  • E(Bonds formed) = 1852 kJ/mol reaction
  • ΔH = -481 kJ/mol.
  • The reaction is exothermic.
<h3>Explanation</h3>

2 H-H + O=O → 2 H-O-H

There are two moles of H-H bonds and one mole of O=O bonds in one mole of reactants. All of them will break in the reaction. That will absorb

  • E(Bonds broken) = 2 × 436 + 499 = 1371 kJ/mol reaction.
  • ΔH(Breaking bonds) = +1371 kJ/mol

Each mole of the reaction will form two moles of water molecules. Each mole of H₂O molecules have two moles O-H bonds. Two moles of the molecule will have four moles of O-H bonds. Forming all those bond will release

  • E(Bonds formed) = 2 × 2 × 463 = 1852 kJ/mol reaction.
  • ΔH(Forming bonds) = - 1852 kJ/mol

Heat of the reaction:

  • \Delta H_{\text{rxn}} = \Delta H(\text{Breaking bonds}) + \Delta H(\text{Forming bonds})\\\phantom{ \Delta H_{\text{rxn}}} = +1371 + (-1852) \\\phantom{ \Delta H_{\text{rxn}}} = -481 \; \text{kJ} / \text{mol}

\Delta H_{\text{rxn}} is negative. As a result, the reaction is exothermic.

Find the mass of 3.00 mol of acetic acid, C2H4O2.
Alexeev081 [22]
Molar mass 

C₂H₄O₂  = 60.0 g/mol

n = mass / molar mass

3.00 = mass / 60.0

m = 3.00 * 60.0

m = 180 g of <span>C₂H₄O₂ 

hope this helps!</span>
