Answer:

alpha decay

Explanation:

an unstable element is radioactive in nature.

Polonium is a chemical element with a large, unstable nucleus.

the most stable isotope of Polonium is Polonium-209, which typically undergoes an alpha decay to form lead-205 and the emission of an alpha particle.

A 1.42-g sample of a pure compound with formula m2so4 was dissolved in water and treated with an ex- cess of aqueous calcium chl
solong [7]

The reaction between m_{2}SO_{4} with calcium chloride can be shown as-m_{2}SO_{4}+CaCl_{2}→CaSO_{4}↓+2mCl. The molecular weight of CaSO_{4} is 136.14g. The weight of sulfate ion is 96.06g. The molecular weight of m_{2}SO_{4} = (2×m + 96.06). From the reaction we can see that 1 mole of calcium chloride reacts with 1 molesm_{2}SO_{4} to produce 1 mole of calcium sulfate. Now 1.36g of calcium sulfate is equivalent to 1.36/136.14=9.989×10^{-3} moles of calcium sulfate.

Thus, 9.989×10^{-3} moles of m_{2}SO_{4} reacts in this reaction.

Let assume the atomic mass of m is x thus the molecular weight of m_{2}SO_{4} is 2x+96.

So we may write 9.989×10^{-3}× (2x+96) =1.42

Or, 2x + 96 = 142.146

Or, 2x = 46.146

Or, x = 23.073

Thus the atomic mass of m is 23.073. The atom (m) is sodium (Na).

A 52.0-mL volume of 0.35 M CH3COOH (Ka=1.8×10−5) is titrated with 0.40 M NaOH. Calculate the pH after the addition of 23.0 mL of
Georgia [21]

NaOH reacts with CH3COOH in 1:1 molar ratio to produce CH3COONa 

NaOH + CH3COOH → CH3COONa + H2O 

Mol CH3COOH in 52.0mL of 0.35M solution = 52.0/1000*0.35 = 0.0182 mol CH3COOH 

Mol NaOH in 19.0mL of 0.40M solution = 19.0/1000*0.40 = 0.0076 mol NaOH 

These will react to produce 0.0076 mol CH3COONa and there will be 0.0182 - 0.0076 = 0.0106 mol CH3COOH remaining in solution unreacted . Total volume of solution = 52.0+19.0 = 71mL or 0.071L 

Molarity of CH3COOH = 0.0106/0.071 = 0.1493M 

CH3COONa = 0.0076 / 0.071 = 0.1070M 

pKa acetic acid = - log Ka = -log 1.8*10^-5 = 4.74. 

pH using Henderson - Hasselbalch equation: 

pH = pKa + log ([salt]/[acid]) 

pH = 4.74 + log ( 0.1070/0.1493) 

pH = 4.74 + log 0.717 

pH = 4.74 + (-0.14) 

pH = 4.60.
