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>

atoms, I have (approximately!) 12 grams.

The mole is thus the link between the micro world of atoms and molecules, and the macro world of grams and litres, the which we can easily measure by mass or volume. The masses for a mole of each element are given on the periodic table as the atomic weight. So, if have 12 g of  

C

O

2

are required to react with the  

C

, which I could measure by mass or by volume.

Balancee por tanteo las siguientes ecuaciones químicas. Escriba el nombre a reactantes y productos. H2O5 + H2O ---&gt; HNO3 Na2O
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

a. N₂O₅ + H₂O ⇒ 2 HNO₃ (pentóxido de dinitrógeno + agua ⇒ ácido nítrico)

b. Na₂O + H₂O ⇒ 2 NaOH (óxido de sodio + agua ⇒ hidróxido de sodio)

Explanation:

Tenemos que balancear, por el método de tanteo, las siguientes ecuaciones químicas.

a. En la primera reacción, el pentóxido de dinitrógeno reacciona con agua para formar ácido nítrico. Es una reacción de síntesis o combinación.

N₂O₅ + H₂O ⇒ HNO₃

Podremos obtener la ecuación balanceada si multiplicamos HNO₃ por 2.

N₂O₅ + H₂O ⇒ 2 HNO₃

b. En la segunda reacción, óxido de sodio reacciona con agua para formar hidróxido de sodio. Es una reacción de síntesis o combinación.

Na₂O + H₂O ⇒ NaOH

Podremos obtener la ecuación balanceada si multiplicamos NaOH por 2.

Na₂O + H₂O ⇒ 2 NaOH

Suppose that you are performing a titration on a monoprotic acid. Titration of this monoprotic acid required a volume of 0.1L of
Alex73 [517]

Answer: A) More base is likely required to reach the endpoint for the diprotic acid than for the monoprotic acid under these conditions

Explanation:

The monoprotic acid (HA) has a valency of 1 and diprotic acid  (H_2A) has a valency of 2.

As the concentration and volume of the diprotic acid and the monoprotic acids are equal.

The neutralization reaction for monoprotic acid is:

HA+BOH\rightarrow BA+H_2O

The neutralization reaction for diprotic acid is:

H_2A+2BOH\rightarrow B_2A+2H_2O

Thus more number of moles of base are required for neutralization of diprotic acid and thus the volume required will be more as concentration and volume of the diprotic acid and the monoprotic acids are equal.
