Here is what radioactive decay is:
<span>Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown
of an atomic nucleus resulting in the release of energy and matter from
the nucleus. Remember that a radioisotope has unstable nuclei that does
not have enough binding energy to hold the nucleus together.</span>
Answer:
Option A. KCl (aq)
Option D. Mg(OH)₂(s
Explanation:
We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:
MgCl₂(aq) + KOH(aq) —>
In solution, MgCl₂(aq) and KOH(aq) will dissociate as follow:
MgCl₂(aq) —> Mg²⁺(aq) + 2Cl¯(aq)
KOH(aq) —> K⁺(aq) + OH¯(aq)
MgCl₂(aq) + KOH(aq) —>
Mg²⁺(aq) + 2Cl¯(aq) + 2K⁺(aq) + OH¯(aq) —> 2K⁺(aq) + 2Cl¯(aq) + Mg(OH)₂ (s)
MgCl₂(aq) + KOH(aq) —> 2KCl (aq) + Mg(OH)₂(s)
Thus, the products of the above reaction are: KCl(aq) and Mg(OH)₂(s)
Thus, option A and D gives the correct answer to the question.
Answer:
Oxidation–reduction or redox reactions are reactions that involve the transfer of electrons between chemical species (check out this article on redox reactions if you want a refresher!). The equations for oxidation-reduction reactions must be balanced for both mass and charge, which can make them challenging to balance by inspection alone. In this article, we’ll learn about the half-reaction method of balancing, a helpful procedure for balancing the equations of redox reactions occurring in aqueous solution.
Explanation:
For any given element the mass number can be found by adding the protons and the neutrons.
In this case its 10 protons plus 11 neutrons which gives us 21 as the mass number.
