Beta decay occurs when a neutron transforms into a proton, an electron(and an electron anti-neutrino) Even though there are less electrostatically-repelling protons in C 14 than in N 14 the extra neutrons make the nucleus less stable than that of N 14

A student obtains the following data: Mass of empty, dry graduated cylinder: 21.577 g Volume added of NaCl solution: 4.602 mL Ma
klasskru [66]

<u>Answer:</u> The density of NaCl solution is 3.930 g/mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mass of cylinder, m_1 = 21.577 g

Mass of NaCl and cylinder combined, M = 39.664 g

Mass of NaCl, m_2 = (M-m_1)=(39.664-21.577)g=18.087g

To calculate density of a substance, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

We are given:

Mass of NaCl = 18.087 g

Volume of NaCl solution = 4.602 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Density of NaCl}=\frac{18.087g}{4.602mL}\\\\\text{Density of NaCl}=3.930g/mL

Hence, the density of NaCl solution is 3.930 g/mL
