When magnesium-28 undergoes beta decay, what is the identity and mass number of the nucleus formed?

Chemistry

Answer:

Aluminium-28

Explanation:

The decay can be with particles alfa (α), beta (β) or gamma radiation (γ). The particle alfa has mass 4 and charge +2, so when the decay occurs by it, the atom will lose two protons and 4 mass unity. The radiation gamma has no mass or charge.

The beta particle has no mass, and charge -1. When this phenomenon happens, a neutron decomposes into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino(which has no mass or charge). The electron is the beta particle. So the mass of the atom continues the same (because of the proton gained), and it gains a proton, so its atomic number changes for +1.

The magnesium-28 beta decay occurs by:

²⁸Mg₁₂ ⇒ ⁰β₋₁ + ²⁸Al₁₃

 <span>Beta decay increases the atomic number by 1, and does not change the mass number. 28Mg12 → 0e-1 + 28Al13</span>

Calculate the pH after the addition of 10.0 mL of 0.240 M sodium hydroxide to 50.0 mL of 0.120 M acetic acid.
Goryan [66]

Answer:

pH = 4.58

Explanation:

The reaction of NaOH with acetic acid, CH₃COOH occurs as follows:

NaOH + CH₃COOH → CH₃COO⁻Na⁺ + H₂O

<em>Moles that react:</em>

NaOH = 10mL = 0.010L * (0,240mol / L) = 0.0024 moles NaOH

CH₃COOH = 50.0mL = 0.050L * (0.120mol / L) = 0.0060 moles CH₃COOH

That means after the reaction you will have:

CH₃COOH: 0.0060 mol - 0.0024 mol = 0.0036 moles

CH₃COO⁻Na⁺: 0.0024 moles

in solution, you will have the mixture of a weak acid (Acetic acid), with its conjugate base (sodium acetate, CH₃COO⁻Na⁺). And pH of this buffer can be determined using H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log [A⁻] / [HA]

For Acetic buffer pKa = 4.76:

pH = 4.76 + log [CH₃COO⁻Na⁺] / [CH₃COOH]

<em>Where [] is molarity of each species or moles</em>

<em />

Replacing:

pH = 4.76 + log [0.0024 moles] / [0.0036 moles]

<h3>pH = 4.58</h3>
