Answer:

228

Explanation:

alpha decay is removing alpha particle _2^{4}He

2 number of protons, 4 mass number = 2 protons + 2 neutrons

We have

      90 protons and 142 neutrons

<u>       - 2 protons         -  2 neutrons</u>

      88 protons         140 neutrons

Mass number of new (daughter) atom = 88 +140 = 228

Answer:

The boiling point decreases as the volume decreases.

Explanation:

The Temperature - Volume law otherwise called as Charles law is applied, which says that the volume of the given gas at constant pressure is directly proportional to the temperature measured in Kelvin. As the volume increases, the temperature also increases, if the volume decreases, then the temperature also decreases.

As per the Charles law, here the volume is decreased from 50 ml to 25 ml so the boiling point also decreases.

Write equations that show the processes that describe the first, second, and third ionization energies for a gaseous gadolinium
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Gd → Gd⁺ + 1e⁻, Gd⁺ → Gd⁺² + 1e⁻, Gd⁺² → Gd⁺³ + 1e⁻

Explanation:

The ionization energy is the energy necessary to remove one electron of the atom, transforming it in a cation. The first ionization energy is the energy necessary to remove the first electron, the second energy, to remove the second electron, and then successively.

Thus, for gadolinium (Gd)

Fisrt ionization:

Gd → Gd⁺ + 1e⁻

Second ionization:

Gd⁺ → Gd⁺² + 1e⁻

Third ionization:

Gd⁺² → Gd⁺³ + 1e⁻

To determine the Keq, we need the chemical reaction in the system. In this case it would be:

CO + 2H2 = CH3OH

The Keq is the ration of the amount of the product and the reactant. We use the ICE table for this. We do as follows:

          CO           H2             CH3OH
I         .42           .42                    0
C     -0.13      -2(0.13)            0.13
-----------------------------------------------
E =    .29           0.16               0.13

Therefore, 

Keq = [CH3OH] / [CO2] [H2]^2 = 0.13 / 0.29 (0.16^2)
Keq = 17.51

Answer:

5,747.82 pounds of CO_2 would your car release in a year if it was driven 170 miles per week.

Explanation:

Mileage of the car = 27.5 miles/gal

Distance driven by car in week = 170 miles

Distance driven by car in a day= \frac{170 miles}{7}=24.286 mile

Volume of gasoline used in a day : V

\frac{24.286 mile}{27.5 miles/gal}=0.8831 gal=0.8831\times 3785.41 cm^3=3,342.96 cm^3

1 gal = 3785.41 mL = 3785.41 cm^3

Density of the gasoline = d= 0.692 g/cm^3

Mass of the gasoline used in a day = m

m=d\times V=0.692 g/cm^3\times 3,342.96 cm^3=2,313.33 g

2C_8H_{18}+25O_2\rightarrow 16CO_2+18H_2O

Moles of gasoline ( isooctane):

=\frac{2,313.33 g}{114 g/mol}=20.292 mol

According to reaction , 2 moles of isooctane gives 16 moles of carbon dioxide gas.Then 20.292 mole isooctane will give :

\frac{16}{2}\times 20.292 mol=162.340 mol of carbon dioxide gas

Mass of 162.340 moles of carbon dioxide gas :

162.340 mol × 44 g/mol = 7,142.91 g

Mass of carbon dioxide gas produced in a day =  7,142.91 g

1 year = 365 days

Mass of carbon dioxide gas produced in a 365 days:

= 365 × 7,142.91 g = 2,607,163.494 g

1 pound = 453.592 g

2,607,163.494 g=\frac{ 2,607,163.494}{453.592} pounds=5,747.82 pounds

5,747.82 pounds of CO_2 would your car release in a year if it was driven 170 miles per week.
