Answer: -

Thus the resulting atomic number of an element that emits 1 alpha particle, 1 positron, and 3 beta particles is the same as original.

Explanation: -

Let the mass number be A and the atomic number be Z.

When an alpha particle is emitted, the mass number decreases by 4 and the atomic number decreases by 2.

Thus after alpha particle the new mass number = A - 4

Thus after alpha particle the new atomic number = Z - 2

When a positron is emitted, the atomic number only decreases by 1.

Thus after positron emission the new mass number = A - 4

Thus after positron emission the new atomic number = Z - 2 - 1

= Z - 3

When a beta particle is emitted, the atomic number increases by 1.

For 3 beta particles, the atomic number will increase by 3.

Thus after beta particle emission the new mass number = A - 4

Thus after beta particle emission the new atomic number = Z - 3+3

= Z

Thus the resulting atomic number of an element that emits 1 alpha particle, 1 positron, and 3 beta particles is the same as original.

When you apply 1000 joules of energy to 50 grams of water its temperature changes to 30 degrees . What was the initial temperatu
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

25.2°C

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Energy applied to the water  = 1000J

Mass of water  = 50g

Final temperature  = 30°C

Unknown:

Initial temperature  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

            H  = m c Ф

H is the energy absorbed

m is the mass

c is the specific heat capacity

Ф is the change in temperature

     1000  = 50 x 4.184 x (30  -  initial temperature )

     1000  = 209.2(30 - initial temperature)

      4.78  = 30 - initial temperature

      4.78  - 30  = - initial temperature

         Initial temperature  = 25.2°C
