A nuclide of phosphorus 3015P decays into a nuclide of silicon 3014Si. In order to satisfy charge conservation and lepton number
1 answer:
In order to satisfy charge conservation and lepton number conservation the other products must be neutron.
<h3>What is conservation of mass?</h3>
The principle of conservation of mass states that, the sum of the initial mass of reactants must be equal to final mass of the products.
The balanced reaction of radioactive decay of phosphorous shows conservation of mass.
Thus, in order to satisfy charge conservation and lepton number conservation the other products must be neutron.

Answer: A) 3.21 g
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side.
We are given:
Mass of iron = 5.58 g
Mass of iron sulphide = 8.79 g
Mass of sulphur = x g
Total mass on reactant side = 5.58 + x
Total mass on product side = 8.79 g
Applying law of conservation of mass, we get:
Hence, the mass of reacting sulfur is 3.21 g.
