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 total volume of gaseous products formed when 116 liters of butane (C4H10) react completely according to the followin

Contact [7]

Answer: The total volume of the gaseous products is 1044.29 L

Explanation:

We are given:

Volume of butane = 116 L

At STP:

22.4 L of volume is occupied by 1 mole of a gas

So, 116 L of volume will be occupied by = $\frac{1}{22.4}\times 116=5.18mol$ of butane

The chemical equation for the combustion of butane follows:

$2C_4H_{10}(g)+13O_2(g)\rightarrow 8CO_2(g)+10H_2O(g)$

For carbon dioxide:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of butane produces 8 moles of carbon dioxide

So, 5.18 moles of butane will produce = $\frac{8}{2}\times 5.18=20.72mol$ of carbon dioxide

Volume of carbon dioxide at STP = (20.72 × 22.4) = 464.13 L

For water vapor:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of butane produces 10 moles of water vapor

So, 5.18 moles of butane will produce = $\frac{10}{2}\times 5.18=25.9mol$ of water vapor

Volume of water vapor at STP = (25.9 × 22.4) = 580.16 L

Total volume of the gaseous products = [464.13 + 580.16] = 1044.29 L

Hence, the total volume of the gaseous products is 1044.29 L

How many moles of sodium atoms do you have if you have 5.60 ~

Papessa [141]

Answer:

0.93 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of Na atom = ?

Number of atoms = 5.60× 10²³

Solution:

Avogadro number:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance. The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

5.60× 10²³ atoms × 1 mol / 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

0.93 mol

What was the purpose of the periodic table?

andre [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

The purpose of the periodic table was to organize elements as they were discovered into periods and groups, according to their properties. It was not just a naming of elements, as a list.

The pressure of a sample of helium is 1.556 atm in a 268.5 mL container. If the container is compressed to 112.4 mL without chan

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

a. 3.72 [atm]

Explanation:

For a gas at constant temperature, (with no change in number of molecules of the gas), we can apply Boyle's Law: $P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

$(1.556[atm])(268.5[mL])=P_2(112.4[mL])$

$\dfrac{(1.556[atm])(268.5[mL\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{--}])}{112.4[mL \!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{--}]}=\dfrac{P_2(112.4[mL]\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{-----})}{112.4[mL]\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{-----}}$

$3.716957[atm]=P_2$

It seems like the answer should have 4 significant figures since all of the other quantities have 4 significant figures, but the closest answer choice of those provided is a. 3.72

What is the molality of a solution made by dissolving 137.9g of sucrose in 414.1g of water?

Daniel [21]

Answer: 2.71 moles of solute for every 1 kg of solvent.

Explanation: As you know, the molality of a solution tells you the number of moles of solute present for every 1 kg of the solvent.This means that the first thing that you need to do here is to figure out how many grams of water are present in your sample. To do that, use the density of water.500.mL⋅1.00 g1mL=500. g Next, use the molar mass of the solute to determine how many moles are present in the sample.115g⋅1 mole NanO385.0g=1.353 moles NaNO3So, you know that this solution will contain 1.353moles of sodium nitrate, the solute, for 500. g of water, the solvent.In order to find the molality of the solution, you must figure out how many moles of solute would be present for 1 kg=103g of water.103g water⋅1.353 moles NaNO3500.g water=2.706 moles NaNO3You can thus say that the molality of the solution is equal to molality=2.706 mol kg−1≈2.71 mol kg−1 The answer is rounded to three sig figs.
