Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The final product obtained after emission six Alpha and four Beta particles in the thorium-232 radioactive decay series has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Generally the unstable parent nucleus decays, and results in formation of stable daughter nucleus. If formed daughter nucleus is not stable they further decays and produce its own daughter nucleus. The process goes on until stable nucleus is formed.
This sequential decay of one nucleus after another is called a radioactive decay series.
(b)
Interpretation:
The equations for the first three steps in the thorium-232 decay series which involves an Alpha particle Beta particle and Beta emission has to be written.
Concept introduction:
Refer part (a).

- SH 0arrow_forward2. Please consider the two all 'cis' isomers of trimethylcyclohexane drawn below. Draw the two chair conformers of each stereoisomer below (1 and 2) and calculate their torsional interaction energies in order to identify the lower energy conformer for each stereoisomer. Based on your calculations, state which of the two stereoisomers 1 and 2 is less stable and which is more stable. [1,3-diaxial CH3 CH3 = 3.7kcal/mol; 1,3-diaxial CH3 H = 0.88kcal/mol; cis-1,2 (axial:equatorial) CH3 CH3 = 0.88kcal/mol; trans-1,2-diequatorial CH3 CH3 = 0.88kcal/mol) all-cis-1,2,3- 1 all-cis-1,2,4- 2arrow_forwardNonearrow_forward

Measurements indicated that 2,250 mg of acetone evaporated. Calculate the acetone concentration in micrograms per cubic meter.arrow_forwardPlease help me answer number 1. 1. If your graphs revealed a mathematical relationship between specific heat and atomic mass, write down an equation for the relationship. I also don't understand, is the equation from the line regression the one that I'm suppose use to show the relationship? If so could you work it all the way out?arrow_forward
