What element breaks down into yttrium-90?

Chemistry
1 answer:
atroni [7]3 years ago
8 0

The correct answer is Strontium-90.

Strontium-90 breaks down into yttrium-90.

Strontium-90  is a radioactive isotope of strontium. It undergoes β− decay into yttrium-90. A decay energy of 0.546 MeV is also released.

⁹⁰₃₈Sr   -> ⁰₋₁e + ⁹⁰₃₉Yr

Beta particle has the charge and mass of an electron. Upon the release of a beta particle, the mass number of Sr remains unchanged but the atomic number of Sr increases by 1. As a result both Sr and Yt have mass number 90, however, Sr and Yt have atomic numbers 38 and 39 respectively.

A 25.0 ml sample of 0.723 m hclo4 is titrated with a 0.273 m koh solution. the h3o concentration after the addition of 50.0 ml o

This is an acid base reaction and the chemical equation for the above reaction is as follows;
KOH  + HClO₄ ---> KClO₄ + H₂O
the stoichiometry of acid to base is 1:1
KOH is a strong base and HClO₄ is a strong acid therefore they both ionize completely into their respective ions
Number of KOH moles - 0.723 M/1000 mL/L x 25.0 mL = 0.018 mol
Number of HClO₄ moles - 0.273 M/1000 mL/L x 50 mL = 0.013 mol 
since acid and base react completely, 0.013 mol of acid reacts with 0.013 mol of base.
The excess base remaining is - 0.018 - 0.013 = 0.005 mol 
total volume of solution = 25.0 mL + 50.0 mL = 75.0 mL 
[OH⁻] = 0.005 mol/0.075 L = 0.067 M 
pOH = -log[OH⁻]
pOH = -log(0.067 M)
pOH = 1.17
pOH + pH = 14
Therefore pH = 14 - 1.17 = 12.83
by knowing pH we can calculate the [H₃O⁺]
pH = -log [H₃O⁺]
[H₃O⁺] = antilog[-12.83]
[H₃O⁺]= 1.47 x 10⁻¹³ M

Which of the following is a balanced equation?<br><br>Select one:<br>a. A<br>b. B<br>c. C<br>d. D​
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Balanced equations have the same number of elements on both sides. If the number of elements are equal to each other for every element in the equation on both sides, then the equation is balanced.

Important concept : The big number before an element or compound represents how many molecules of that compound or element there are in a reaction. To find the number of atoms of each element you multiply the coefficient by the subscript ( small number ) which represents the number of atoms of that element in each molecule. Ex. 3H2O. There is a coefficient of 3 meaning that there are 3 molecules of H2O. There is a subscript after H meaning there are 2 atoms of hydrogen in each molecule. To find the total number of atoms we multiply the subscript of hydrogen by the coefficient of the whole molecule. 3 * 2 = 6 , so there are a total of 6 atoms of hydrogen in 3H2O

A) Cu + 2AgNO3 ==> CuNO3 + 2Ag

                    1   Cu  1

                    2   Ag  2

                     2   N  1

                     3  O   3

The amount of nitrogen atoms is different on both sides of the equation therefore this is not a balanced equation

B) CCl4 + O2 ==> CO2 + 2Cl2

                     1  C  1

                     4  Cl  4

                     2  O  2

The number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation therefore this is the balanced equation, however lets check the other answer choices just in case.

C)  2K + H2SO4 ==> K2SO4 + 2H2

                        2  K   2

                        1   H   4

                        1   S    1

                        4  O   4

The number of Hydrogen atoms are different on each side of the equation therefore this is not a balanced equation.

D) 2Al2O3 ==> 2Al + 3O2

              4  Al  2

              6  O  6
There are a different amount of aluminum atoms on both sides of the equation therefore this is not a balanced equation.
