Explanation:

Alpha decay: In this process, alpha particles is emitted when a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei. The alpha particle released has a charge of +2 units.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}+_2^4\alpha$

$_5^{10}\textrm{B}\rightarrow _{3}^{6}Li+_2^4\alpha$

Beta-decay: In this process, a neutron gets converted into a proton and an electron releasing a beta-particle. The beta particle released carries a charge of -1 units.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta$

$_{55}^{133}\textrm{Cs}\rightarrow _{56}^{133}\textrm{Ba}+_{-1}^0\beta$

Item 5 A solution of methanol, CH3OH, in water is prepared by mixing together 128 g of methanol and 108 g of water. The mole fra

Basile [38]

Answer:

Mole fraction of methanol will be closest to 4.

Explanation:

Given, Mass of methanol = 128 g

Molar mass of methanol = 32.04 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{128\ g}{32.04\ g/mol}$

$Moles\ of\ methanol = 3.995\ mol$

Given, Mass of water = 108 g

Molar mass of water = 18.0153 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{108\ g}{18.0153\ g/mol}$

$Moles\ of\ water= 5.995\ mol$

So, according to definition of mole fraction:

$Mole\ fraction\ of\ methanol=\frac {n_{methanol}}{n_{methanol}+n_{water}}$

$Mole\ fraction\ of\ methanol=\frac{3.995}{3.995+5.995}=0.39989$

<u>Mole fraction of methanol will be closest to 4.</u>

An increase in temperature will effect vapor pressure by:

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer: Increases.

Explanation: As the temperature of a liquid or solid increases its vapor pressure also increases. Conversely, vapor pressure decreases as the temperature decreases.

At which of the following temperatures is the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance the least? 23.2 °C 35.2 °C

svp [43]

At 15.2°C. Kinetic energy of molecules highly depends on the temperature — the warmer it is, the faster the molecules will move, especially in fluids (gases and liquids). If we consider that the formula for average kinetic energy of molecules is:

Ek = 3/2*k*T where k is Boltzmanns constant and 3/2 is, well, 3/2, kinetic energy of molecules really only depends on the temperature.

Consider the reaction H2(g) + Cl2(g) → 2HCl(g)ΔH = −184.6 kJ / mol If 2.00 moles of H2 react with 2.00 moles of Cl2 to form HCl,

zalisa [80]

Answer:

ΔU=-369.2 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

We start from the equation:

Δ(H)=ΔU+Δ(PV), which is an extension of the well known relation: H=U+PV.

If Δ(PV) were calculated by ideal gas law,

PV=nRT

Δ(PV)=RTΔn.

Where Δn is the change of moles due to the reaction; but, this reaction does not give a moles change (Four moles of HCl produced from 4 moles of reactants), so Δ(PV)=0.

So, for this case, ΔH=ΔU.

The enthalpy of reaction given is for one mole of reactant, so the enthalpy of reaction for the reaction of interest must be multiplied by two:

$2 reactant moles*\frac{-184.6kJ}{mol}$

ΔU=-369.2 kJ/mol.
