Answer:
C₆H₈O₆
Explanation:
First off, the<u> percent of oxygen by mass</u> of vitamin C is:
- 100 - (40.9+4.58) = 54.52 %
<em>Assume we have one mol of vitamin C</em>. Then we would have <em>180 grams</em>, of which:
- 180 * 40.9/100 = 73.62 grams are of Carbon
- 180 * 4.58/100 = 8.224 grams are of Hydrogen
- 180 * 54.52/100 = 98.136 grams are of Oxygen
Now we <u>convert each of those masses to moles</u>, using the <em>elements' respective atomic mass</em>:
- C ⇒ 73.62 g ÷ 12 g/mol = 6.135 mol C ≅ 6 mol C
- H ⇒ 8.224 g ÷ 1 g/mol = 8.224 mol H ≅ 8 mol H
- O ⇒ 98.136 g ÷ 16 g/mol = 6.134 mol O ≅ 6 mol O
So the molecular formula for vitamin C is C₆H₈O₆
Answer:
Beta emission
Explanation:
In beta emission, a neutron is converted into a proton thereby emitting an electron and a neutrino. A neutrino is a particle that serves to balance the spins.
When a nucleus undergoes beta emission, the mass number of the parent and daughter nuclei remain the same while the atomic number of the daughter nucleus is greater than that of its parent by one unit.
Hence, in beta emission, the daughter nucleus is found one pace to the right of the parent in the periodic table.
Half life is the time that it takes for half of the original value of some amount of a radioactive element to decay.
We have the following equation representing the half-life decay:
A is the resulting amount after t time
Ao is the initial amount = 50 mg
t= Elapsed time
t half is the half-life of the substance = 14.3 days
We replace the know values into the equation to have an exponential decay function for a 50mg sample
That would be the answer for a)
To know the P-32 remaining after 84 days we have to replace this value in the equation:
So, after 84 days the P-32 remaining will be 0.85 mg
The difference is the amount of oxygen in the compound
Hey there!
Static electricity is a missing charge. When positive ions are formed (where an electron is missing), this imbalance is called static electricity.
