There are 14.4 * 10^18 oxygen atoms in 5.0020 mg of  strontium bicarbonate.

Mass of strontium bicarbonate Sr(HCO3)2 = 5.0020 mg

Molar mass of strontium bicarbonate Sr(HCO3)2 = 209.6537 g/mol

Number of moles of strontium bicarbonate Sr(HCO3)2 = 5.0020 * 10^-3g/209.6537 g/mol

= 2.3858 * 10^-5 moles

Given that we have 6 oxygen atoms per molecule of Sr(HCO3)2, the total number of oxygen atoms in Sr(HCO3)2 becomes;

2.3858 * 10^-5 moles * 6.02 * 10^23 = 14.4 * 10^18 oxygen atoms

Sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid are not good substitute for sodium azide in airbags since the require more mass and produce less gas.

<h3>Which is the better chemical for an airbag?</h3>

The chemical equation for the production of nitrogen gas from sodium azide is given below:

  • NaN₃ → 2 Na + 3 N₂

1 mole or 66 go of sodium azide produces 3 moles or 67.2 L of nitrogen gas.

The equation for the production of carbon dioxide from sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid is given below:

  • Na₂CO₃ + CH₃COOH → CH₃COONa + CO₂ + H₂O

1 mole, 106 g of Na₂CO₃ and 1 mole, 82 g of CH₃COOH are required to produce 1 mole or 22.4 L of CO₂.

The mass of sodium azide required is less than that of sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid required. Also, sodium azide produces a greater volume of gas. Therefore, sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid are not good substitute for sodium azide in airbags.

In conclusion, sodium azide is a better choice in airbags.

What is Y? 222/86 Rn A/z + 4/2He
kondaur [170]

^{222}_{\phantom{2}86}\text{Rn} \to ^{218}_{\phantom{2}84}\text{Po}+ ^{4}_{2}\text{He}

Y is Po-218.

  • A = 218
  • Z = 84.
<h3>Explanation </h3>

^{222}_{\phantom{2}86}\text{Rn} \to ^{A}_{Z}\text{Y}+ ^{4}_{2}\text{He}

Here's the symbol of a particle in a nuclear reaction. ^{A}_{Z}\text{Y}.

A stands for mass number. Z stands for atomic number. Both numbers shall conserve in a nuclear reaction.

  • The mass number on the left hand side is 222.
  • The two mass numbers on the right hand side add up to A + 4.
  • 222 = A + 4.
  • A = 218

So is the case for the atomic number. Try figure out the atomic number of Y using the same approach.

  • The atomic number on the left hand side is 86.
  • The two atomic number on the right hand side add up to __ + __.
  • 86 = __ + __.
  • Z = 84.

What element is Y? The atomic number of Y is 84. Refer to a periodic table. Element 84 corresponds to Po (polonium). Y is Polonium-218. The symbol of Y should be written as ^{218}_{\phantom{2}84}\text{Po}. Hence the equation:

^{222}_{\phantom{2}86}\text{Rn} \to ^{218}_{\phantom{2}84}\text{Po}+ ^{4}_{2}\text{He}.
