Answer:

Positron emission

Explanation:

Positron emission involves the conversion of a proton to a neutron. This process increases the mass number of the daughter nucleus by 1 while its atomic number remains the same. The new neutron increases the number of neutrons present in the daughter nucleus hence the process increases the N/P ratio.

A positron is usually ejected in the process together with an anti-neutrino to balance the spins.

what is the mass of water vapor produced when 3.2 liters reacts with 8.7 liters of oxygen gas at STP?

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

2.57g

Explanation:

First, let us write a balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

2H2 + O2 —> 2H2O

Next let us determine the limiting reactant. This is achieved as follows:

From the equation,

2L H2 required 1L of O2.

Therefore, 3.2L of H will require = 3.2/2 = 1.6L of O2

From the calculation above, O2 is excess because the volume of O2 given from the question is far greater than the volume of O2 obtained from our calculation. Therefore, H2 is the limiting reactant.

Now let us covert 3.2L of H2 to mole. This is illustrated below:

1mole of a gas occupy 22.4L at stp

Therefore, Xmol of H2 will occupy 3.2L i.e

Xmol of H2 = 3.2/22.4 = 0.143mol

From the equation,

2moles of H2 produced 2moles of H2O.

Therefore, 0.143mol of H2 will also produce 0.143moles of H2O.

Now, we can obtain the mass of the water vapour produced by convert 0.143mol of H2O to gram. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 2 + 16 = 18g/mol

Number of mole of H2O = 0.143mol

Mass of H2O =?

Mass = mole x Molar Mass

Mass of H2O = 0.143 x 18 = 2.57g

The mass of water vapour produce is 2.57g

Glucose is a simple sugar made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. What kind of molecule is

Flauer [41]

The answer is <span>C. Glucose is an organic molecule.

Glucose is carbohydrate so it cannot be a protein or a nucleic acid. It is an organic molecule. The organic molecule is compound consisting of carbon to which are attached hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. Since, g</span><span>lucose is a simple sugar made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, it, as well as any other carbohydrate, is the organic molecule.</span>

Consider the reaction: HCN (aq) + H2O (l) ⇄ CN- (aq) + H3O + (aq) Which of the following statements will decrease the amount of

alekssr [168]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction shows that hydrogen cyanide acid has been added to water which results in the formation of hydronium ion and cyanide ion.

Also, when we add a base like sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to HCN then it will help in accepting a proton ( $H^{+}$ ) from hydrogen cyanide. As a result, formation of $CN^{-}$ anion will be rapid and easy.

This will make the system not to do any extra work. So, amount of work done by system will decrease.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, add solid NaOH to the reaction (assume no volume change) will decrease the amount of work the system could perform.

Formulate the sequence of steps needed to prepare 250.0 mL of a 0.005 M aqueous solution from solid KMnO4 and pure water.

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Molarity is a unit that measures how much moles of solute dissolved in a liter of solvent. Molarity expressed using capital M while molarity, a different unit, expressed using lower case m.

We want to make 0.005 M solution which means we need 0.005 moles of KmnO4 per liter of water. First, we have to calculate how many grams of KMnO4 we need for the solution.

We want to make 250ml solution, so the number of moles of KMnO4 we need will be: 0.005 mol/liter *(250 ml * 1liter/1000ml)= 0.005 mol/liter * 1/4 liter = 0.00125 moles

The molecular mass of KMnO4 is 158g/mol, so the mass of KMnO4 we need will be: 0.00125 moles * 158g/mol= 0.1975 grams

We know that we need 0.1975 g of KMnO4, now we weigh them and put it inside a dish. After that, we prepare Erlenmeyer or a volumetric flask filled with water half of the volume needed(125ml). Pour the weighted solute into the flask, stir until all solute dissolved.

Then we add water to the container slowly until its volume reaches the 250ml mark.
