Answer:

Phosphorus-28 undergoes beta-minus decay to produce

an electron,
a Silicon-28 nuclei, and
an electron antineutrino.

$\rm ^{28}_{13} Al \to ^{28}_{14} Si + ^{\phantom{-}0}_{-1}e + \bar{\mathnormal{v}}_{\rm e}$

Explanation:

In simple words, when a nucleus undergoes beta-minus decay, a neutron is converted to a proton. An electron and an electron antineutrino will be released.

$\rm ^{1}_{0}n^{0} \to ^{1}_{1}p^{+} + ^{\phantom{-}0}_{-1}e^{-} + \bar{\mathnormal{v}}_{\rm e}$ .

One way to tell whether a neutron is converted to a proton, but not vice versa, is to check the sum charges on the two sides of this equation.

Left-hand side: 0. Neutron is neutral.
Right-hand side: 1 + (-1) = 0. Each proton carries a charge of +1. Each electron (beta-minus particle) carries a charge of -1. Antineutrinos are neutral.

The charges on the two sides of this equation is the same. Hence this nuclear equation is possible (but not necessarily correct; however, if the proton and the neutron are in the wrong place the charge won't even be the same.)

Since the mass number of a proton and a neutron are both 1, the overall mass number of the atom will stay the same.

The atomic number is the number of protons in each atom. That number determines the symbol and the chemical properties of the atom. When one neutron in an atom is converted to a proton, the atomic number of the atom will increase by 1.

The atomic number of the daughter nucleus, silicon, is 14. It takes a parent nucleus with atomic number $14 - 1 = 13$ to produce a silicon atom. Refer to a modern periodic table. Atomic number $13$ corresponds to the element aluminum.

Also, the mass number of the daughter nucleus is 28. Since the mass number would stay the same in a beta decay, the mass number of the parent nucleus would also be 28. In other words, it takes an aluminum-28 atom to undergo beta-decay to produce a silicon-28 atom.

Complete the other details (electron and electron antineutrino) to obtain the equation

$\rm ^{28}_{13} Al \to ^{28}_{14} Si + ^{\phantom{-}0}_{-1}e + \bar{\mathnormal{v}}_{\rm e}$ .

Question 1(Multiple Choice Worth 4 points)

zubka84 [21]

Answer

Answer 1 : 28.9 g of CO is needed.

Answer 2 : Six moles of $H_{2}O$ over Nine moles of $O_{2}$

Answer 3 : Four over two fraction can be used for the mole ratio to determine the mass of Fe from a known mass of $Fe_{2}O_{3}$ .

Answer 4 : Mass of $O_{2}$ = (150 × 3 × 31.998) ÷ (232.29 × 1) grams

Answer 5 : 8.4 moles of sodium cyanide (NaCN) would be needed.

Solution

Solution 1 : Given,

Given mass of $Fe_{2}O_{3}$ = 55 g

Molar mass of $Fe_{2}O_{3}$ = 159.69 g/mole

Molar mass of CO = 28.01 g/mole

Moles of $Fe_{2}O_{3}$ = $\frac{\text{ Given mass of } Fe_{2}O_{3}}{\text{ Molar mass of } Fe_{2}O_{3}}$ = $\frac{55 g}{159.69 g/mole}$ = 0.344 moles

Balanced chemical reaction is,

$Fe_{2}O_{3}(s)+3CO(g)\rightarrow 2Fe(s)+3CO_{2}(g)$

From the given reaction, we conclude that

1 mole of $Fe_{2}O_{3}$ gives → 3 moles of CO

0.344 moles of $Fe_{2}O_{3}$ gives → 3 × 0.344 moles of CO

= 1.032 moles

Mass of CO = Number of moles of CO × Molar mass of CO

= 1.032 × 28.01

= 28.90 g

Solution 2 : The balanced chemical reaction is,

$2C_{3}H_{6}+9O_{2}\rightarrow 6CO_{2}+6H_{2}O$

From the given reaction, we conclude that the Six moles of $H_{2}O$ over Nine moles of $O_{2}$ is the correct option.

Solution 3 : The balanced chemical reaction is,

$4Fe+3O_{2}\rightarrow 2Fe_{2}O_{3}$

From the given balanced reaction, we conclude that Four over two fraction can be used for the mole ratio to determine the mass of Fe from a known mass of $Fe_{2}O_{3}$ .

Solution 4 : Given,

Given mass of $Zn(ClO_{3})_{2}$ = 150 g

Molar mass of $Zn(ClO_{3})_{2}$ = 232.29 g/mole

Molar mass of $O_{2}$ = 31.998 g/mole

Moles of $Zn(ClO_{3})_{2}$ = $\frac{\text{ Given mass of }Zn(ClO_{3})_{2} }{\text{ Molar mass of } Zn(ClO_{3})_{2}}$ = $(\frac{150\times 1}{232.29})moles$

The balanced chemical equation is,

$Zn(ClO_{3})_{2}}\rightarrow ZnCl_{2}+3O_{2}$

From the given balanced equation, we conclude that

1 mole of $Zn(ClO_{3})_{2}$ gives → 3 moles of $O_{2}$

$(\frac{150\times 1}{232.29})moles$ of $Zn(ClO_{3})_{2}$ gives → $[(\frac{150\times 1}{232.29})\times 3] moles$ of $O_{2}$

Mass of $O_{2}$ = Number of moles of $O_{2}$ × Molar mass of $O_{2}$ = $[(\frac{150\times 1}{232.29})\times 3] \times 31.998 grams$

Therefore, the mass of $O_{2}$ = (150 × 3 × 31.998) ÷ (232.29 × 1) grams

Solution 5 : Given,

Number of moles of $Na_{2}SO_{4}$ = 4.2 moles

Balanced chemical equation is,

$H_{2}SO_{4}+2NaCN\rightarrow 2HCN+Na_{2}SO_{4}$

From the given chemical reaction, we conclude that

1 mole of $Na_{2}SO_{4}$ obtained from 2 moles of NaCN

4.2 moles of $Na_{2}SO_{4}$ obtained → 2 × 4.2 moles of NaCN

Therefore,

The moles of NaCN needed = 2 × 4.2 = 8.4 moles

Concept Review 14.11. Can a reaction that is not reversible achieve chemical equilibrium?

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

Chemical equilibrium is reached by the forward reaction rate equaling the reverse reaction rate. If the reaction is not reversible, this could not occur.

A 24.00 mL sample of a solution of Pb(ClO3)2 was diluted with water to 52.00 mL. A 17.00 mL sample of the dilute solution was fo

klio [65]

Answer:

0.238 M

Explanation:

A 17.00 mL sample of the dilute solution was found to contain 0.220 M ClO₃⁻(aq). The concentration is an intensive property, so the concentration in the 52.00 mL is also 0.220 M ClO₃⁻(aq). We can find the initial concentration of ClO₃⁻ using the dilution rule.

C₁.V₁ = C₂.V₂

C₁ × 24.00 mL = 0.220 M × 52.00 mL

C₁ = 0.477 M

The concentration of Pb(ClO₃)₂ is:

$\frac{0.477molClO_{3}^{-} }{L} \times \frac{1molPb(ClO_{3})_{2}}{2molClO_{3}^{-}} =0.238M$

Answer:

Group 18th

Explanation:

The group 18th of periodic table which is composed of Noble gases mainly was missing from the Mendeleev's periodic table. The reason for this is that Noble gases are least reactive, therefore, it was difficult to predict such elements which do not react with other elements.

Select all that apply to physical and chemical properties ?

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

• Chemical properties can only be observed during a chemical reaction:

Chemical properties can only be established by changing a substance's chemical identity, and chemical properties are different from physical properties, which can be observed by viewing or touching a sample. The internal qualities of a substance must be altered to determine its chemical properties.

Examples:

Some common chemical properties are heat of combustion, enthalpy of formation, toxicity,

and flammability, each of which will be covered in this lesson.

• Rusting of iron is the chemical reaction not physical because:

The rusting of iron is a chemical change because it is two substances reacting together to make a

new substance. When iron rusts, iron molecules react with oxygen molecules to make a compound

called iron oxide. Rusting would only be a physical change if iron molecules remained pure iron

throughout the process.

The equation for this reaction is: 4Fe+ 3O2 → 2Fe2O

• Melting and boiling points are physical properties:

Yes melting and boiling points are the physical properties.

Physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the composition of matter. Physical properties are used to observe and describe matter.

Physical properties include: appearance, texture, color, odor, melting point, boiling point, density, solubility, polarity, and many others.

• Mass and volume are chemical properties:

No mass and volume are the extensive physical properties of matter

All properties of matter are either physical or chemical properties and physical properties are either intensive or extensive.

Extensive properties, such as mass and volume, depend on the amount of matter being measured.

Intensive properties, such as density and color, do not depend on the amount of the substance present.

Physical properties can be measured without changing a substance’s chemical identity.

• Various components of a mixture do not combine chemically:

When various components of a mixture do not combine chemically it is a Combination of substances in which individual components do not combine chemically but retain their individual properties. Mixture in which one or more substances are distributed evenly in another substance.

When various components combine chemically then form chemical compounds that are often divided into two categories. Metals often react with nonmetals to form ionic compounds. These compounds are composed of positive and negative ions formed by adding or subtracting electrons from neutral atoms and molecules
