Answer: the mass number of the daugther atom is 232,
Explanation:
1) Alpha (α) decay is a nuclear reaction in which a nucleus (parent's nucleus) emits an alpha (α) particle and leads to a different atom (daughter atom).
2) The alpha (α) particle is a nucleus of helium atom, i,e, a nucleus with two protons and two neutrons. The symbol used for the α particles is <em>⁴₂He</em>, where the superscript 4 indicates the mass number (2 protons + 2 neutrons = mass number 4), and the subscript 2 indicates the atomic number (number of protons).
3) Then, to determine the mass number of the daughter atom you just need to do a mass number balance:
mass number of the parent atom = mass number of the daugther atom + mass number of the α particle.
The mass number of the radioactive (parent) atom is 90 protons + 142 neutrons = 232.
∴ 232 = x + 4 ⇒ x = 232 - 4 = 228 ← answer.
The full equation may help you to have a wider vision of the problem:
²³²₉₀ X → ⁴₂ He + ²²⁸₈₈ Y
Note this:
- 232 = 4 + 228 (this is a mass number balance)
- 90 = 2 + 88 (this is an atomic number balance)
- X is the parent atom, and Y is the daughter atom
- You can use a periodic table to determine the identity of the unknown atoms (using the atomic numbers).
Answer:
MnO- Manganese Oxide
Explanation:
Empirical formula: This is the formula that shows the ratio of elements
present in a
compound.
How to determine Empirical formula
1. First arrange the symbols of the elements present in the compound
alphabetically to determine the real empirical formula. Although, there
are exceptions to this rule, E.g H2So4
2. Divide the percentage composition by the mass number.
3. Then divide through by the smallest number.
4. The resulting answer is the ratio attached to the elements present in
a compound.
Mn O
% composition 72.1 27.9
Divide by mass number 54.94 16
1.31 1.74
Divide by the smallest number 1.31 1.31
1 1.3
The resulting ratio is 1:1
Hence the Empirical formula is MnO, Manganese oxide
Answer:
The glow stick in hot water will be brighter
Explanation:
The glow stick in hot water will be brighter than the glow stick in cold water because the heat from the hot water will cause the molecules in the glow stick to move faster. The faster the molecules move in the glow stick, the sooner and brighter the reaction will be. The cold water will cause molecules to move slowly and it will take longer for the reaction to occur, which will also make it less bright.
