Determine the identity of the daughter nuclide from the electron capture by 84be.

Chemistry
1 answer:
anyanavicka [17]3 years ago
7 0
Answer:
8  Li3

Explanation:

1) Electrons are called beta radiation (β)

2) Electrons are considered massless and with 1 negative charge, so in the nuclear reactions they are written as:
 0   e-1

Which means that they do not change the mass number of the isotope but reduces its atomic number in 1.

2) Then, the capture of one electron by berylium-8 means that it will reduce its atomic number in one unit and while its mass number will be the same.

3) The given isotope is:
 8
    Be  4


4) Then the resultant daughter will have the same mass number (8) and aomic number 3.

The element with atomic number 3 is Li, so it will be:

8  Li3


5) The total nuclear reaction is:

8               0         8
  Be + 1      e →     Li
4              -1         3

You have just isolated a new radioactive element. If you can determine its half-life, you will win the Nobel Prize in physics. Y
lbvjy [14]

Answer: 2.58 days

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = ?

t = age of sample  = 6 days

a = initial amount of the reactant  =  1 g

a - x = amount left after decay process   = 0.2 g

a) to find the rate constant

6=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{1.0}{0.2}

k=\frac{2.303}{6}\log\frac{1.0}{0.2}

k=0.268days^{-1}

b) for completion of half life:  

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{0.268}=2.58days

The half life is 2.58 days

A salt forms in the reaction of barium with chlorine. What is the most likely formula unit of this salt?
Scrat [10]
The answer to this question would be: BaCl 2
Barium is an alkali metal with 56 atomic number. Barium located in the group 2 of the periodic table because it has 2 valence electrons. Chlorine is a nonmetal that has 1 valence electron. When react, it would need 2 chlorine for each barium as the valence electron of barium is twice the chlorine.
