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
Answer: Kinetic Energy of the atoms also increases.
Explanation: We are given that the temperature of the gas increases.
Relation between kinetic energy and temperature follows:
where, K = Average Kinetic energy
R = Gas constant
T = Temperature
= Avogadro's number
As seen from the relation above, the Kinetic energy of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature, hence as the temperature increases, kinetic energy of the atom also increases.
Answer:
Laura can look for a transparent and translucent liquid and hence determine which beaker has water and which has solution
Explanation:
Pure water is a compound that is transparent in color. However, a solution is a liquid mixture comprising of a solvent or a solute. The atoms of solute occupy space between the atoms of solvent and hence are said to dissolve in it. Water can be a solvent.
Thus, if the beaker has a transparent liquid in it, then it would be pure water while a beaker having a translucent liquid, then it would be a solution
