The type of nuclear decay in which Oxygen decays to form nitrogen is beta plus decay.

<h3>What is a beta plus decay?</h3>

A beta plus decay is a type of decay in which a proton in an element disintegrates to produce a neutron resulting in a decrease in the atomic number of the radioactive element.

In the given equation below:

$^{15}_{7}O \rightarrow ^{15}_{7}N + ^{0}_{1}e$

Oxygen decays to form nitrogen due to a decrease in atomic number.

This is an example of beta plus decay.

In conclusion, oxygen decays to form nitrogen beta plus decay.

Use the molar solubility 3.27×10−11m in pure water to calculate ksp for nis.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Ksp = 1.07x10⁻²¹

Explanation:

Molar solubility is defined as moles of solute can be dissolved in 1L.

Ksp for NiS is defined as:

NiS(s) ⇄ Ni²⁺(aq) + S²⁻(aq)

Ksp = [Ni²⁺] [S²⁻]

As molar solubility is 3.27x10⁻¹¹M, concentration of [Ni²⁺] and [S²⁻] is 3.27x10⁻¹¹M for both.

Replacing:

Ksp = [3.27x10⁻¹¹M] [3.27x10⁻¹¹M]

Draw the isotopic notation for an element with 15 protons, 18 neutrons and 18 electrons

tatiyna

Answer:

can't be done

Explanation:

protons and electrons always are the same number,and the neutrons are found by subtracting the atomic mass and protons/electrons soooooooo it can't have 15 protons, 18 electrons, and 18 neutrons.......i hope this helped if not please tell me.

how many moles of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) are required to completely neutralize 2 mol of nitric acid (HNO3)

Brut [27]

2 moles of sodium hydroxide will be needed.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Sodium hydroxide is a compound which is a base and nitric acid is the acid. The formula of the nitric acid is HNO3 and that of sodium hydroxide is NaOH.

The reaction between them are

NaOH +HNO3 =NaNO3 +H2O.

So here we can see that 1 mole of sodium hydroxide reacts with 1 mole of nitric acid to produce 1 mole of sodium nitrate and 1 mole of water.

So for 2 moles of nitric acid, 2 moles of sodium hydroxide will be required.
