Answer:
Cl
Explanation:
⁴¹Ca has an atomic number equal to 20, it means that it has 20 protons and 20 electrons ad its neutral state. In the decay by electron capture, it will lose one electron and will become a cation, but the mass (41) and the atomic number will remain the same.
When Ca⁺ undergoes alpha decay, it will lose an alpha particle, which has mass 4 and 2 protons.
⁴¹₂₀Ca⁺ → ³⁷₁₈X⁺ + ⁴₂α
To be stable, X will lose a proton and will become ³⁷₁₇X. The element which has atomic number 17 is chlorine, Cl.
By crushing a solid into a powder you increase the reaction rate (the chemical reaction rate). By crushing into a powder, you are increasing the surface area, increasing the exposure to the chemical reaction. The smaller the particles, the faster the chemical reaction that will take place. Think about an ice cube put in a pot of boiling water. The whole ice cube will take longer to melt than if you first crushed that ice cube into small pieces. Small pieces of ice put into boiling water would melt very quickly.
Hope this helps!! :)
