Which of the following represents beta decay

Chemistry
1 answer:
Korvikt [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The reaction representing beta decay is of option C:

 _{64}^{160}\textrm{Gd}\rightarrow _{65}^{160}\textrm{Tb}+_{-1}^0\e  

Explanation:

Beta-decay: In this process, a neutron gets converted into a proton and an electron releasing a beta-particle. The beta particle released carries a charge of -1 units.

 _Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta  

 _{64}^{160}\textrm{Gd}\rightarrow _{65}^{160}\textrm{Tb}+_{-1}^0\e  

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

What is the mass of solute dissolved in 50,0 g of 12.5% saline solution? A) 7.148 B) 6.258 C) 43.88 D) 4.00 g
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

6.25 grams is the mass of solute dissolved.

Explanation:

w/w % : The percentage mass or fraction of mass of the of solute present in total mass of the solution.

w/w\%=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 100

Mass of the solution = 50.0 g

Mass of the solvent = x

w/w % = 12.5%

12.5\%=\frac{x}{50.0 g}\times 100

x = 6.25 g

6.25 grams is the mass of solute dissolved.

Sawing a board in half is an example of a chemical change
koban [17]

Sawing a board in half is a physical change not a chemical change the board doesnt change wood or whatever material it is is still would still be wood
If it were burned it would be a chemical change but its properties stay the same atomically so thats why its not a chemical change.

The pressure of a sample of helium is 1.556 atm in a 268.5 mL container. If the container is compressed to 112.4 mL without chan
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

a.  3.72 [atm]

Explanation:

For a gas at constant temperature, (with no change in number of molecules of the gas), we can apply Boyle's Law:  P_1V_1=P_2V_2

(1.556[atm])(268.5[mL])=P_2(112.4[mL])

\dfrac{(1.556[atm])(268.5[mL\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{--}])}{112.4[mL \!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{--}]}=\dfrac{P_2(112.4[mL]\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{-----})}{112.4[mL]\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{-----}}

3.716957[atm]=P_2

It seems like the answer should have 4 significant figures since all of the other quantities have 4 significant figures, but the closest answer choice of those provided is a.  3.72

What is penetration? How is it related to shielding? Use the penetration effect to explain the difference in relative orbital en
Whitepunk [10]

Answer: penetration is the ability of an electron in a given orbital to approach the nucleus closely. Shielding refers to the fact that core electrons reduce the degree of nuclear attraction felt by the orbital electrons. Shielding is the opposite of penetration. The most penetrating orbital is the least screening orbital. The order of increasing shielding effect/decreasing penetration is s<p<d<f.

Explanation:

The order of penetrating power is 1s>2s>2p>3s>3p>4s>3d>4p>5s>4d>5p>6s>4f....

Since the 3p orbital is more penetrating than the 3d orbital, it will lie nearer to the nucleus and thus possess lower energy.
