Answer:

Delta

Explanation:

Delta is a not a type of nuclear decay. Most times, the delta sign is used to denote a change between the initial and final states of a reaction.

There are three main types of nuclear decay which are:

Alpha decay
Beta decay
Gamma decay

Alpha decay results in the formation of alpha particles.
Beta decay produces electron like particles.
Gamma decay produces gamma radiations.

When FeC13 is ignited in an atmosphere of pure oxygen, this reaction takes place. 4FeCl3(sJ 30lgJ ~ 2F~0 (sJ 6Cl2(gJ If 3.00 mol

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer : The reagent present in excess and remains unreacted is, $O_2$

Solution : Given,

Moles of $FeCl_3$ = 3.00 mole

Moles of $O_2$ = 2.00 mole

Excess reagent : It is defined as the reactants not completely used up in the reaction.

Limiting reagent : It is defined as the reactants completely used up in the reaction.

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$2FeCl_3(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2FeO(s)+3Cl_2(g)$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 moles of $FeCl_3$ react with 1 mole of $O_2$

So, 3.00 moles of $FeCl_3$ react with $\frac{3.00}{2}=1.5$ moles of $O_2$

From this we conclude that, $O_2$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and $FeCl_3$ is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Hence, the reagent present in excess and remains unreacted is, $O_2$

Alveoli are tiny sacs of air in the lungs. Their average diameter is 4.50 × 10−5 m. Calculate the uncertainty in the velocity of

Arisa [49]

Answer: The uncertainty in the velocity of oxygen molecule is $4.424\times 10^{-5}m/s$

Explanation:

The diameter of the molecule will be equal to the uncertainty in position.

The equation representing Heisenberg's uncertainty principle follows:

$\Delta x.\Delta p=\frac{h}{2\pi}$

where,

$\Delta x$ = uncertainty in position = d = $4.50\times 10^{-5}m$

$\Delta p$ = uncertainty in momentum = $m\Delta v$

m = mass of oxygen molecule = $5.30\times 10^{-26}kg$

h = Planck's constant = $6.627\times 10^{-34}kgm^2/s^2$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$4.50\times 10^{-5}m\times 5.30\times 10^{-26}kg\times \Delta v=\frac{6.627\times 10^{-34}kgm^2/s}{2\times 3.14}\\\\\Delta v=\frac{6.627\times 10^{-34}kgm^2/s^2}{2\times 3.14\times 4.50\times 10^{-5}m\times 5.30\times 10^{-26}kg}=4.424\times 10^{-5}m/s$

Hence, the uncertainty in the velocity of oxygen molecule is $4.424\times 10^{-5}m/s$

A radioisotope decays to give an alpha particle andPb-208.

oee [108]

Answer: The original element is $_{84}^{212}\textrm{Po}$

Explanation:

Alpha decay is defined as the process in which alpha particle is emitted. In this process, a heavier nuclei decays into a lighter nuclei. The alpha particle released carries a charge of +2 units.

The released alpha particle is also known as helium nucleus.

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

For the given alpha decay process of an isotope:

$^{Z}_{A}\textrm{X}\rightarrow ^{208}_{82}\textrm{Pb}+_2^4\alpha$

To calculate A:

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

A = 208 + 4

A = 212

To calculate Z:

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

Z = 82 + 2

Z = 84

The isotopic symbol of unknown element is $_{84}^{212}\textrm{Po}$

Hence, the original element is $_{84}^{212}\textrm{Po}$
