Answer:
Explanation:
Beta emission involves the conversion of a neutron to a proton, an electron and a neutrino. This leads to a reduction in the neutron-proton ratio.
During a beta emission, the mass number of the parent and daughter nuclei remain the same. The atomic number of the daughter nucleus increases by one unit above that of the parent nucleus as we can see from the equation.
Hence, the daughter nucleus is found one place after its parent in the periodic table.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that:
The chemical equation for the reaction is:
Br2(g) ⇌ 2Br(g)
Initially 0.0345M 0.0416M
Thus, the given reaction will proceed in the backward direction
The I.C.E table is as follows:
Br2(g) ⇌ 2Br(g)
I 0.0345 0.0416
C +x -2x
E (0.0345+x) (0.0416 -2x)
= 0.00173056 - 0.0832x - 0.0832x + 4x² = 0.00584 (0.0345 +x)
= 0.00173056 - 0.166x + 4x² = 2.0148× 10⁻⁴ + 0.00584x
= 0.00173056 - 2.0148× 10⁻⁴ - 0.166x - 0.00584x + 4x²
= 0.00152908 - 0.17184x + 4x²
Solving by using Quadratic formula
x = 0.03038 or 0.0126
For x = 0.03038
At equilibrium
[Br₂] = (0.0345 + 0.03038) = 0.06488 M
[Br] = (0.0416 -2(0.03038)) = - 0.01916 M
Since we have a negative value for [Br], we discard the value for x
For x = 0.0126
At equilibrium
[Br₂] = (0.0345 + 0.0126) = 0.0471 M
[Br] = (0.0416 -2(0.0126)) = 0.0164 M
