It Is Called The Parent Nuclide

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is parent nuclide.

<u>Explanation:</u>

From the given options:

<u>Option 1:</u> Parent nuclide

This term is defined as the nuclide which decays into specific daughter nuclide when a radioactive decay takes place. This nuclide decays because it is unstable in nature.

<u>Option 2:</u> Daughter nuclide

This term is defined as the nuclide which is formed when a parent nuclide decays during a radioactive decay process.

For Example: Decay of Sodium-22 to Neon -22 by beta-plus decay. The equation follows:

_{11}^{22}\textrm{Na}\rightarrow _{10}^{22}\textrm{Ne}+_{+1}^0\beta

Here, _{11}^{22}\textrm{Na} is a parent nuclide and _{10}^{22}\textrm{Ne} is a daughter nuclide.

<u>Option 3:</u> Half life

This term is defined as the time taken by the isotope to decompose to half of its original value. It is represented by t_{1/2}

<u>Option 4:</u> Mass defect

This term is defined as the difference between the mass of an isotope and its mass number. This represents binding energy.

Hence, from the above information, the correct answer is parent nuclide.

Hno3, a strong acid, is added to shift the ag2co3 equilibrium (equation 7.6) to the right. explain why the shift occurs.
Deffense [45]
Answer 1)  When a strong acid like HNO_{3} reacts with Ag_{2} CO_{3} usually the equilibrium shifts to the right because

As per the Le chatelier's principle "if in any reaction, a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the any of the conditions, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change."  So, in the given reaction when HNO_{3} reacts with Ag_{2} CO_{3}  it generates carbon dioxide and water as a by product, if we are adding HNO_{3} it will remove some of the CO_{3} molecule from the reaction mixture, which then tends to shift the equilibrium towards right.

Answer 2) The same would be observed in this case, if we replace HNO_{3} with HCl it will shift the equilibrium to the right as their will be generation of AgCl as the precipitate.

As per the definition of Le Chatelier's principle if we add reactants in the reaction the equilibrium will tend to move towards right, also if we replace the products or remove it then too it will shift the equilibrium towards right. So, in this reaction you are removing Ag^{+} and Cl^{-} ions from the solution.

What are oil and waters properties of matter?
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Two other beneficial properties of the oil include the inhibition of corrosion of metal surfaces, such as steel, and the removal of dirt and detritus via detergency.

Properties of water include its chemical formula H2O, density, melting, boiling point & how one molecule of water has two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to one oxygen atom.
