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

Chemistry
1 answer:
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.

mafiozo [28]

Question:

Zinc metal is added to hydrochloric acid to generate hydrogen gas and is collected over a liquid whose vapor pressure is the same as pure water at 20.0 degrees C (18 torr). The volume of the mixture is 1.7 L and its total pressure is 0.987 atm. Determine the number of moles of hydrogen gas present in the sample.

A. 0.272 mol

B. 0.04 mol

C. 0.997 mol

D. 0.139 mol

E. 0.0681 mol

Answer:

The correct option is;

E. 0.0681 mol

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is

Zn + HCl = H₂ + ZnCl₂

Vapor pressure of the liquid = 18 torr = 2399.803 Pa

Total pressure of gas mixture H₂ + liquid vapor = 0.987 atm  

= 100007.775 Pa

Therefore, by Avogadro's law, pressure of the hydrogen gas is given by the following equation

Pressure of H₂ = 100007.775 Pa - 2399.803 Pa = 97607.972 Pa

Volume of H₂ = 1.7 L = 0.0017 m³

Temperature = 20 °C = 293.15 K

Therefore,

n = \frac{PV}{RT} =  \frac{100007.775 \times 0.0017 }{8.3145 \times 293.15} = 0.068078 \ moles

Therefore, the number of moles of hydrogen gas present in the sample is n ≈ 0.0681 moles.

Protein x has an absorptivity of 0.4 ml·mg-1 ·cm-1 at 280 nm. What is the absorbance at 280 nm of a 2.0 mg ·ml-1 solution of pro
Evgen [1.6K]

Absorbance measures the ability of the substance to absorb light at a specific wavelength.

Absorbance is also equal to the product of molar absorptivity, path length and molar concentration.

The mathematical expression is given as:

A= \epsilon l c       (1)

where, A = absorbance

\epsilon =  molar absorptivity

l = path length

c  = molar concentration.

The above formula is said to Beer's Law.

Absorptivity of protein x  = 0.4 mLmg^{-1}cm^{-1}

Path length = 1 cm

Molar concentration = 2.0 mg mL^{-1}

Put the values in formula (1)

Absorbance at 280 nm = 0.4 mL mg^{-1}cm^{-1}\times 1 cm \times 2.0 mg mL^{-1}

= 0.8

Thus, absorbance at 280 nm = 0.8
