Chemistry question | Chegg.com GR. 12/06/17 bmo103@humboldt.edu SCORE out of 20 Be sure use the correct format to enter both the charge and the mass number of the nucleus formed, along with the symbol The type of radioactive decay a nucleus undergoes depends on its ratio of neutrons to protons. Gold-174 undergoes alpha decay as indicated in the unbalanced nuclear equation below. Complete the equation by identifying the nucleus formed in this process 174 79 4 Part 3 (1 pt) See Hint Be sure to use the correct format to enter both the charge and the mass number of the nucleus formed, along with the symbol Gold-205 decays by emitting a beta particle rather than by alpha decay ldentify the nucleus formed and complete the unbalanced equation shown below 205Au SUBMIT /08

Explanation / Answer

2)
Let the product be X

Balance mass number on both sides
mass of Au = mass of a + mass of X
1*174 = 1*4 + M
M = 170

Balance atomic number on both sides
atomic of Au = atomic of a + atomic of X
1*79 = 1*2 + A
A = 77

Atomic number 77 is for element Ir
So, the product is
170-Ir
Answer: 17077Ir

3)
Let the product be X

Balance mass number on both sides
mass of Au = mass of B + mass of X
1*205 = 1*0 + M
M = 205

Balance atomic number on both sides
atomic of Au = atomic of B + atomic of X
1*79 = 1*-1 + A
A = 80

Atomic number 80 is for element Hg
So, the product is
205-Hg
Answer: 20580Hg
