Answer: Alpha radiation

Explanation: Alpha decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing alpha radiation, the mass number and atomic number is reduced by 4 and 2 units respectively.

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}Y+_2^4\textrm{He}


Beta decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing beta radiation, the atomic number is increased by 1 unit.


_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^{A}Y+_{-1}^0e


Gamma decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing gamma radiation, the mass number remains same.

_Z^A\textrm{X}^*\rightarrow _Z^A\textrm{X}+_0^0\gamma

A gas occupies a volume of 50.0 mL at 100K and 630 mmHg. At what temperature would
rodikova [14]
PV / T = P'V' / T'

V = V'

P / T = P' / T'

P = 630 mmHg
T = 100 K
P' = 1760 mmHg
T' = ?

630 / 100 = 1760 / T'

T' = 1760 / 6,3

T' = 279,36 K

T' ≈ 280 K

Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. State functions do not depend on the path taken to arrive at a particular state. B
Serga [27]

Answer:

E. All of the above are true.

Explanation:

<em>Which of the following statements is TRUE?</em>

<em>A. State functions do not depend on the path taken to arrive at a particular state.</em> TRUE. State functions like enthalpy (ΔH) and internal energy (ΔE) do not depend on the trajectory, but on the initial and final state.

<em>B. Energy is neither created nor destroyed, excluding nuclear reactions.</em> TRUE. Only in nuclear reactions can energy (E) can be transformed in matter (m) and vice-versa according to Einstein equation: E = m . c² (c is the speed of light).

<em>C. ΔHrx can be determined using constant pressure calorimetry.</em> TRUE. The enthalpy of reaction is the heat involved at constant pressure.

<em>D. ΔErx can be determined using constant volume calorimetry.</em> TRUE. The internal energy of reaction is the heat involved at constant volume.

A positron is emitted when ____________. *
Darina [25.2K]
The correct answer is:
a positron is emitted when proton converts to a neutron.

The reaction can be described as following:
₁¹p (proton) → ₀¹n (neutron) + ₁°e (positron or ₁⁰β)
Positron is an antiparticle of a β particle (₋₁°β), which means it has an oposite charge to it, but same mass.
