It is a beta particle that is being emitted when the radioactive nucleus of 131 / 53 I decays to form the stable isotope of xenon 131 / 54 Xe. It is written as 0/-1 e-. It is a high speed and high energy positron or electron during beta decay. An unstable nucleus containing an excess of neutrons would unergo a beta decay wherein the neutron is transformed into a proton, and electron and an antiparticle. The electrons emitted are not the electrons from the shells  but are being produced when a neutron splits firming a proton and an electron. These particles would be able to pass in paper but can be blocked by an aluminum foil.

postnew [5]

Answer:

178.98 sq. feet

Explanation:

The path and the garden has been shown in the figure below. The green area is the garden and the area in brown is the path.

It has been given that,

Radius of garden = 8 feet

So, the area of garden = 3.14 × 8 × 8 = 200.96 sq. feet

The total radius of the land including garden and path = 8 + 3 = 11 feet

So, the total are of land including garden and path = 3.14 × 11 × 11 = 379.94 sq. feet

So, the area of path = Total area of the land - area of garden

Area of path = 379.94 - 200.96 = 178.98 sq. feet

Catalysts increase reaction rates by lowering the activation energy of a reaction.
Setler [38]
The answer is true, catalysts increase rates by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. Catalysts lower the reaction energy and so the reaction occurs faster. Enzymes perform the role of biological catalysts. Most metabolic pathways of the body are controlled by enzymes. Enzymes by classification are proteins. <span />

Given 6.98 x 10 4 power grams of iron, calculate the moles of iron present
KiRa [710]

Answer:

1249.88 mol.

Explanation:

∵ no. of moles of Fe = mass of Fe/atomic weight of Fe.

<em>∴ no. of moles of Fe </em>= (6.98 x 10⁴ g)/(55.845 g/mol) = <em>1249.88 mol.</em>

Rashid [163]
<span>Answer: Nothing is balanced in your final equation: not H, not O, not Cr, not I and your charges aren't either. Start with your 2 half reactions: I- --> IO3- Cr2O72- --> 2 Cr3+ Balance O by adding H2O: I- + 3 H2O --> IO3- Cr2O72- --> 2 Cr3+ + 7H2O Balance H by adding H+: I- + 3 H2O --> IO3- + 6 H+ Cr2O72- + 14 H+ --> 2 Cr3+ + 7H2O Balance charge by adding e-: I- + 3 H2O --> IO3- + 6 H+ + 6 e- Cr2O72- + 14 H+ + 6 e- --> 2 Cr3+ + 7H2O Since the numbers of electrons in your two half reactions are the same, just add them and simplify to give: Cr2O72- + I- + 8 H+ --> IO3- + 2 Cr3+ + 4 H2O</span>
