1. Answer is ₉₂²³⁵U<span>

<span>Since this is an alpha emission the atomic number of the daughter nucleus decreases by 2 while mass number decreases by 4 compared to parent atom. Since parent atom has 94 as atomic number the daughter atom should have </span>94 - 2 = 92 as atomic number<span> <span>and </span></span>239 - 4 = 235 as mass number. <span>

</span></span>₉₄²³⁹Pu → ₂⁴He + ₉₂²³⁵U<span>

2. </span><span>Answer is </span>₉₁²³⁴Pa<span>

</span><span>Since this is a beta emission, a neutron is converted into a proton while emitting an electron. Hence atomic number increases by 1 compared to mass number but mass number remains as same. Hence, the </span>atomic number of the daughter atom<span> <span>should be </span></span>90 + 1 = 91<span> <span>which belongs to </span></span>Pa<span>. But the </span>mass number is same as 234.<span>

</span>₉₀²³⁴Th → ₋₁⁰e + ₉₁²³⁴Pa<span>
</span><span>
3.<span> <span>Answer is </span></span></span>₈¹⁸O<span>

</span><span>Since this is a positron emission, a proton is converted into a neutron while emitting an positron. Hence atomic number decreases by 1 compared to mass number but mass number remains as same. Hence, the </span>atomic number of the daughter atom<span> should be </span>9- 1 = 8 <span>which belong to </span>O<span>. But the </span>mass number is same as 18.<span>

</span>₉¹⁸F → ₊₁⁰e + ₈¹⁸O<span>

4. </span>Answer is ₈₀²⁰¹Hg<span>

</span><span>This is an </span><span>electron capture decay. </span>A<span> proton is converted into a neutron by emitting a gamma ray. In this process </span>mass number remains as same<span> <span>as parent atom which is </span></span>201<span>, but the </span>atomic number is decreased by 1<span> <span>than parent atom. Hence atomic number of daughter nucleus is 81 -1 = </span></span>80 <span>which belongs to </span>Hg.<span>

Which expression represents the concentration of OH– ions in solution? a. [OH–]  10–14 b. 10–14  [H3O+] c. 10–14  [H3O+] d. 1
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

10^-14 / [H3O+]

Explanation:

Hydronium (H3O+) and hydroxide ions (OH-) are both present in pure water and in all aqueous solutions.

Their respective concentrations in water are 10^-7 M each and are inversely proportional to each other as given by the ion product of water, Kw.

Kw = [H3O+][OH−]

Where Kw = 1.0 * 10^-14,

[H3O+] = concentration of hydronium ions

[OH-] = concentration of hydroxide ions

Therefore, [OH-] = Kw / [H3O+]

[OH-] = 10^-14/[H3O+]

What is the molecular formula of a molecule that has an empirical formula of CH and a molecular mass of 78.11 g
sveticcg [70]

Answer: C6H6

Explanation: Molecular Formula is the molecular mass divided by the empirical formula mass of CH which is C 12and H is 1 so 12 + 1= 13 g CH

Solution:

78.11 g CH / 13 g CH = 6

Which statement is true for one molecule of sulfur trioxide?
baherus [9]

D. There is one atom of sulfur and three atoms of oxygen.


The "tri" in trioxide indicates three so there are three atoms of oxygen.  As nothing is said about the sulfur, there is just one atom.


Hope this helps!!

You wish to calculate the mass of hydrogen gas that can be prepared from 4.93 g of srh2 and 4.14 g of h2o.
Ivenika [448]
The maximum amount of hydrogen gas that can be prepared is if all the hydrogen from both compounds is released.

The hydrogen in 4.94 g of SrH2 is calculated from the mass ratios between Sr and H

1) H2 in SrH2

Sr atomic mass = 87.62 g/mol

H2 molar mass = 2.02 g/mol

Mass of 1 mol of SrH2 = 87.62 g / mol + 2.02 g/mol = 89.64 g/mol

Ratio of H2 to SrH2 = 2.02 g H2 / 89.64 g SrH2

Proportion: 2.02 g H2 / 89.64 gSrH2 = x / 4.93 g SrH2

=> x = 4.93 g SrH2 * 2.02 g H2 / 89.64 g SrH2 = 0.111 g H2

2) H2 in H2O

2.02 g H2 / 18.02 g H2O * 4.14 g H2O = 0.464 g H2

3) Total mass of hydrogen = 0.111 g + 0.464 g = 0.575 g

Answer: 0.575 g
