Answer:
pH = 12.7
Explanation:
First, we have to calculate the [Ca²⁺] in a solution of about 250 ppm CaCO₃.
Now, let's consider the dissolution of Ca(OH)₂ in water.
Ca(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Ca²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)
The solubility product Ksp is:
Ksp = [Ca²⁺] × [OH⁻]²
[OH⁻] = √(Ksp/[Ca²⁺]) = √(6.5 × 10⁻⁶/2.5 × 10⁻³) = 5.1 × 10⁻² M
Finally, we can calculate pOH and pH.
pOH = -log [OH⁻] = -log (5.1 × 10⁻²) = 1.3
pH + pOH = 14 ⇒ pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 1.3 = 12.7

Correct Answer is : 54 131Xe
Reason:
Emission of beta particle from radioactive material increases atomic number by one, but atomic mass number donot change.
In present case, the reactant is 53 131 I. When, iodine emits beta particle i.e. electron, it atomic number increases by one. Hence, it gets converted into Xe. Atomic number of Xenon is 54.
