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

1 answer:

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

A lab technician needs to create 570.0 milliliters of a 2.00 M solution of magnesium chloride (MgCl2). To make this solution, ho

vekshin1

Hey there!:

Molar mass MgCl2 = 95.211 g/mol

Volume of solution in liters:

570.0 mL / 1000 => 0.57 L

Number of moles:

n = M * V

n = 2.00 * 0.57 => 1.14 moles of MgCl2

Therefore:

1 mol MgCl2 --------------- 95.211 g

1.14 moles MgCl2 ---------- ??

mass of MgCl2 = 1.14 * 95.211

mass of MgCl2 = 108.54 g

Hope that helps!

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

36.08%

Explanation:

We are given the overall formula of the compound as: CuSO4•5H2O

Now, atomic mass of the elements are;

Cu = 63.55 g/mol

S = 32.07 g/mol

O = 16 g/mol

H20 = 18.02 g/mol

Now, let's calculate the total mass of the compound:

(63.55 g/mol) + (32.07 g/mol) + 4(16 g/mol) + 5(18.02 g /mol) = 249.72 g/mol

From the above, water in the compound is 5(H20)

Thus, total water atomic mass = 5 × 18.02 = 90.1 g/mol

Thus, percentage of water = (atomic mass of water/total mass of compound) × 100%

Percentage of water = (90.1/249.72) × 100% = 36.08%

Consider the substitution reaction that rakes place when (R)-3-bromo 3-methylhexane is treated with methanol. Which of the follo

Otrada [13]

Answer:

The reaction would take place with racemization.

Explanation:

The compound (R)-3-bromo 3-methylhexane contains has the leaving group attached to a tertiary carbon atom. When the leaving group is attached to a tertiary carbon atom, the compound undergoes nucleophilic substitution via SN1 mechanism. This mechanism involves the formation of a planar carbocation intermediate. The nucleophile may attack this intermediate from either faces, leading to racemization of the product.

How many grams of potassium chloride are required to make 250 ml of a 0.75 m kcl solution?

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The solution would need 13.9 g of KCl

Explanation:

0.75 m, means molal concentration

0.75 moles in 1 kg of solvent.

Let's think as an aqueous solution.

250 mL = 250 g, cause water density (1g/mL)

1000 g have 0.75 moles of solute

250 g will have (0.75 . 250)/1000 = 0.1875 moles of KCl

Let's convert that moles in mass (mol . molar mass)

0.1875 m . 74.55 g/m = 13.9 g

What effect does light have on plant growth?

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Explanation:

Light intensity influences the manufacture of plant food, stem length, leaf color and flowering. Generally speaking, plants grown in low light tend to be spindly with light green leaves. A similar plant grown in very bright light tends to be shorter, better branches, and have larger, dark green leaves.
