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.

qwelly [4]

I think that you didn't copy the answers correctly, because 1 and 2 are the same, and 3 and 4 are also the same here.
Anyways, the answer which is correct is that an electron has a charge of -1, and a proton has a charge of +1.
Electrons are negatively charged, whereas protons are positively charged. Neutrons are neutral.

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

1) Favor formation of reactant

2) Favor formation of product

3) Favor formation of product

4) Favor formation of product

5) Favor formation of product

Explanation:

The reaction is $AgBr(s)--->Ag^{+}(aq)+Br^{-}(aq)$

The reaction is endothermic

1. Adding hydrobromic acid (HBr)

It will increase the amount of bromide ion. Bromide ion is one of the product so it will favor formation of reactant.

2. Lowering the concentration of bromide (Br-) ions

As we are decreasing the the concentration of product it will favor formation of more products

3. Heating the concentrations

If we are heating the mixture, it will increase the temperature and it will favor endothermic reaction. Thus will favor formation of product.

4. Adding solid silver bromide (AgBr)

If we are adding silver bromide it means we are increasing the concentration of reactant, it will favor formation of products

5. Removing silver (Ag+) ions

Removing silver ions means we are decreasing the concentration of product thus it will favor formation of products.

liberstina [14]

Answer:

the correct option is B

Explanation:

The correct option is b, since if we reach pH 7, it means that the acid-base reaction is neutralized, therefore the base has been neutralized by an acid or vice versa, without taking into account the proteins or the amounts of both components .

A sample of gas has a volume of 2.36 L at a temperature of 53.00 °C. The gas sample is heated to a temperature of 139.00 °C (ass

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The volume increases because the temperature increases and is 2.98L

Explanation:

Charles's law states that the volume of a gas is directely proportional to its temperature. That means if a gas is heated, its volume will increase and vice versa. The equation is:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

<em>Where V is volume and T is absolute temperature of 1, initial state, and 2, final state of the gas.</em>

In the problem, the gas is heated, from 53.00°C (53.00 + 273.15 = 326.15K) to 139.00°C (139.00 + 273.15 = 412.15K).

Replacing in the Charles's law equation:

2.36L / 326.15K= V₂/412.15K
