When an alpha particle is emitted from an unstable nucleus, the atomic mass numberof the nucleus

Chemistry

barxatty [35]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The correct option is D.

Explanation:

Radioactive substances usually emit different types of particles when they are decaying. Such particles include alpha particles, beta particles and gamma ray. When an alpha particle is emitted from an unstable radioactive nucleus such nucleus usually lost an atomic mass that correspond to that of helium atom. Note that an alpha particle is made up of two protons and two neutrons, which result in mass number of 4. Thus, a nucleus that emit an alpha particle will have its mass number (atomic mass) reduce by 4 and atomic number that is reduced by 2.

Cyclohexane has a freezing point of 6.50 ∘C and a Kf of 20.0 ∘C/m. What is the freezing point of a solution made by dissolving 0
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

The freezing point will be 2.9^{0}C

Explanation:

The depression in freezing point is a colligative property.

It is related to molality as:

Depressioninfreezing point=K_{f}Xmolality

Where

Kf= 20\frac{^{0}C}{m}

the molality is calculated as:

molality=\frac{moles_{solute}}{mass_{solvent}}

moles=\frac{mass}{molarmass}=\frac{0.694}{154}=0.0045mol

massofcyclohexane=25g=0.025Kg

molarity=\frac{0.0045}{0.025}=0.18m

Depression in freezing point = 20X0.18=3.6^{0}C

The new freezing point = 6.5^{0}C-3.6^{0}C=2.9^{0}C
