The balanced nuclear equations for the following:(a) β⁻decay of sodium-26 is Na²⁶₁₁ → Mg²⁶₁₂ + β₋₁⁰ + energy.

What is beta decay?

Beta decay (-decay) is a type of radioactive decay in nuclear physics in which a beta particle (fast energetic electron or positron) is ejected from an atomic nucleus, converting the original nuclide to an isobar of that nuclide. For example, beta decay of a neutron converts it into a proton by the emission of an electron accompanied by an antineutrino; or positron emission converts a proton into a neutron via the emission of a positron accompanied by a neutrino. The beta particle and its accompanying (anti-)neutrino do not exist in the nucleus before beta decay, but are generated during the decay process. Unstable atoms gain a more stable proton-neutron ratio through this process.

How many moles of KOH are required to produce 4.79 g K3PO4 according to the following reaction? 3KOH + H3PO4 -----> K3PO4 + 3
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

0.677 moles

Explanation:

Take the atomic mass of K = 39.1, O =16.0, P = 31.0

no. of moles = mass / molar mass

no. of moles of K3PO4 used = 4.79 / (39.1x3 + 31 + 16x4)

= 0.02256 mol

From the equation, the mole ratio of KOH : K3PO4 = 3 :1,

meaning every 3 moles of KOH used, produces 1 mole of K3PO4.

So, using this ratio, let the no. of moles of KOH required to be y.

\frac{3}{1} =\frac{y}{0.02256} \\

y = 0.02256 x3

y = 0.0677 mol

If you don't find exactly 0.677 moles as one of the options, go for the closest one. A very slight error may occur because of taking different significant figures of atomic masses when calculating.

PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The light emitted by a light bulb is a form of radiation that occurs when the filament heats up and its thermal emission gains enough energy to move into the visible spectrum.

Explanation:

Light bulbs contain a filament which is heated up electrically. When this filament is heated up,energy in the form of heat is imparted to the electrons in the filament.

This thermal excitation of electrons ultimately leads to emission of light in the viable spectrum. This light is now radiated through a light bulb.
