The given isotope of Neptunium is ^{237} _{93} Np

Alpha decay of an isotope results in daughter nuclide with mass number less by 4 units and atomic number less by 2 units than the parent isotope.

Alpha decay of Neptunium-237 can be represented as:

^{237} _{93} Np-->^{233}_{91} Pa+^{4} _{2} He

Beta decay of the above formed protactinium nuclide can be represented as:

^{233}_{91}Pa-->^{233} _{92} U+^{0}_{-1}e

Gamma decay releases only energy in the form of gamma rays, the nuclide remains the same.

^{233}_{92}U-->^{233}_{92}U+γ

The new atom formed after the given decays is ^{233}_{92}U

Explanation:

Cations are positively charged ions with fewer electrons than protons. To partake in reaction, metals lose electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration. It has lost valence electrons and wold have a positive charge associated with it.

Potassium is a group 1 element. A metal.

Potassium has 1 valence electron so it loses the valence electron to form a stable octet.

A potassium ion has a positive charge and therefore cannot be an anion but is a cation.

The group number pretty much denotes the number of valence electrons.

Group 1 = 1

Group 2 = 2

Group 17 = 7

Group 18 = 8

A sample of oxygen occupies 20.1 liters under a pressure of 1520 torr at 25.0o What volume would it occupy at 25.0oC if the pres
Zolol [24]

Answer:

The volume that the sample of oxygen would occupy at 25 ° C if the pressure were reduced to 760.0 torr is 40.2 L

Explanation:

Boyle's law establishes the relationship between the pressure and the volume of a gas when the temperature is constant, so that the pressure of a gas in a closed container is inversely proportional to the volume of the container. That is, if the pressure increases, the volume decreases, while if the pressure decreases, the volume increases.

Boyle's law is expressed mathematically as:

Pressure * Volume = constant

or P * V = k

Considering an initial state 1 and a final state 2, it is true:

P1* V1= P2*V2

In this case:

  • P1= 20.1 L
  • V1= 1520 torr
  • P2= 760 torr
  • V2= ?

Replacing:

20.1 L* 1520 torr= 760 torr* V2

Solving:

V2=\frac{20.1 L* 1520 torr}{760 torr}

V2= 40.2 L

<em><u>The volume that the sample of oxygen would occupy at 25 ° C if the pressure were reduced to 760.0 torr is 40.2 L</u></em>

The force of 20 N acts upon a 5kg block. What is the acceleration of the block?
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 4 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

where

a is the acceleration

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question

f = 20 N

m = 5 kg

We have

a =  \frac{20}{5}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>4 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you
