grin007 [14]3 years ago
7 0

<u>Answer: </u>The correct answer is Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Unstable isotopes are defined as the isotopes which have excess of neutrons as compared to the stable form of the nucleus of an atom.

These isotopes attain stability by undergoing a spontaneous nuclear decay. The isotopes which are unstable have another name and are known as radioactive isotopes or radioisotopes.

These isotopes undergoes decay by 4 processes: Alpha decay, beta decay, gamma emission and positron decay.

Hence, the correct answer is option D.

Consider the hypothetical reaction 4A + 3B → C + 2D Over an interval of 3.00 s the average rate of change of the concentration o
pogonyaev

Answer:

Final concentration of C at the end of the interval of 3s if its initial concentration was 3.0 M, is 3.06 M and if the initial concentration was 3.960 M, the concentration at the end of the interval is 4.02 M

Explanation:

4A + 3B ------> C + 2D

In the 3s interval, the rate of change of the reactant A is given as -0.08 M/s

The amount of A that has reacted at the end of 3 seconds will be

0.08 × 3 = 0.24 M

Assuming the volume of reacting vessel is constant, we can use number of moles and concentration in mol/L interchangeably in the stoichiometric balance.

From the chemical reaction,

4 moles of A gives 1 mole of C

0.24 M of reacted A will form (0.24 × 1)/4 M of C

Amount of C formed at the end of the 3s interval = 0.06 M

If the initial concentration of C was 3 M, the new concentration of C would be (3 + 0.06) = 3.06 M.

If the initial concentration of C was 3.96 M, the new concentration of C would be (3.96 + 0.06) = 4.02 M

A gas has a volume of 62.65L at O degrees Celsius and 1 atm. At what temperature in Celsius would the volume of the gas be 78.31
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The volume of the gas will be 78.31 L at 1.7 °C.

Explanation:

We can find the temperature of the gas by the ideal gas law equation:

PV = nRT

Where:

n: is the number of moles

V: is the volume

T: is the temperature

R: is the gas constant = 0.082 L*atm/(K*mol)

From the initial we can find the number of moles:

n = \frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{RT_{1}} = \frac{1 atm*62.65 L}{(0.082 L*atm/K*mol)*(0 + 273)K} = 2.80 moles

Now, we can find the temperature with the final conditions:

T_{2} = \frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{nR} = \frac{612.0 mmHg*\frac{1 atm}{760 mmHg}*78.31 L}{2.80 moles*0.082 L*atm/(K*mol)} = 274.7 K

The temperature in Celsius is:

T_{2} = 274.7 - 273 = 1.7 ^{\circ} C

Therefore, the volume of the gas will be 78.31 L at 1.7 °C.

I hope it helps you!
