Answer:

Fe_{26}^{59} \rightarrow Co_{27}^{59} + e_{-1}^{0}

Step-by-step explanation:

beta particle: e_{-1}^{0}

The option in the answer is the only one which includes a beta particle in the products.

In a beta emission, a neutron is converted to a proton, and the process creates an electron and an electron antineutrino. Here, Fe has 26 protons and 59 - 26 = 33 neutrons, and Co has 27 protons and 59 - 27 = 32 neutrons

Correct question:

Which reaction describes a beta emission?  2659Fe→ 2759Co +  −10e,   88226Ra→ 86222Rn +  24He, 94239Pu +  24He→ 96242Cm  +  01n,  54118Xe→ 53118I +  +10e

Answer:

2659Fe→ 2759Co + 1e

Step-by-step explanation:

General equation for beta decay is given as;

^A_zX -> \ ^A_{z+1}Y +\  ^0_{-1} \beta

where;

A is the atomic mass of the element

z is atomic number of the element

X is the parent atom

Y is the daughter element

β is beta emission

In beta emission, there is loss of one electron and zero proton, the will cause the daughter element to gain on electron in order to balance the reaction.

Based on beta decay equation above, we select the reaction that describes beta emission.

2659Fe→ 2759Co + 1e

Here;

A = 59

z = 26

z + 1 = 27

The product of two positive integers is 176. One number is 5 more than the other. Find the smaller number.
svlad2 [7]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

11



Discussion:

Let "n" be the smaller number. Then

n * (n+5) = 176.


My first reaction to this problem was to factor 176 in my head. That's  176 = 16 * 11 and 16 is 5 more than 11. So that's the solution!.... Now let's solve it using the brute force approach:

n(n+5) = 176                 =>

n^2 + 5n - 176 = 0       => use the quadratic formula


n =     ( -5 +\- sqrt( 5^2 - 4(1)(-176)) )  /2

 =     ( -5 +\- sqrt( 25 +  704) )/ 2

=     ( -5 +\- sqrt (729) ) /2                            => as sqrt(729) = 27

=      (-5 +\- 27) / 2                                        =>

=      (-5 + 27)/2 or ( -5 -27)/2                      =>

=      22/2  or  -32/2                                     =>

=      11 or  -16


But -16 is not allowed as the question wants a positive value.



Thank you,

MrB

76 POINTS IF YOU CAN ANSWER THIS!!!The amount of water an electric dishwasher uses to wash dishes varies directly with the numbe
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you need 10 loads you know that for 4 loads you use 32 gallons. And to go from 4 to 10 you divide 10 and 4 to get an answer of 2.5. So all you have to do is multiple 32 gallons by 2.5 to then get an answer of 80.
