Carbon-14 is likely to undergo which of the following nuclear decay process, in order to:

Chemistry
1 answer:
Aleks04 [339]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

a)beta decay; to reduce the number of neutrons

Explanation:

When an isotope decays by beta decay, a neutron is converted into a proton, an electron and a neutrino (a particle that serves to balance spins). This process reduces the neutron/proton ratio.

During the beta decay of carbon-14, an atom of 14C decays into an atom of 14N. Hence the number of protons in the atom increases by one, creating a nitrogen atom.

You are given two aqueous solutions with different ionic solutes (Solution A and Solution B). What if you are told that Solution
klio [65]

Answer:

Yes, it is possible. Let us consider an example of two solutions, that is, solution A having 20 percent mass RbCl (rubidium chloride) and solution B is having 15 percent by mass NaCl or sodium chloride.  

It is found that solution A is having more concentration in comparison to solution B in terms of mass percent. The formula for mass percent is,  

% by mass = mass of solute/mass of solution * 100

Now the formula for molality is,  

Molality = weight of solute/molecular weight of solute * 1000/ weight of solvent in grams

Now molality of solution A is,  

m = 20/121 * 1000/80 (molecular weight of RbCl is 121 grams per mole)

m = 2.07

Now the molality of solution B is,  

m = 15/58.5 * 1000/85

m = 3.02

Therefore, in terms of molality, the solution B is having greater concentration (3.02) in comparison to solution A (2.07).

How does a wave get taller as
Anarel [89]

The reason why a wave get taller as it gets closer to shore is that the shallow water at the bottom of the wave makes the wave length smaller. Option B

<h3>What is a wave?</h3>

A wave is a disturbance that occurs along a medium which transmits energy. Now we now that waves travel from place to place. The horizontal distance that is travelled by a wave is what we call the wavelength of the wave.

As the wave approaches the shore, the wave tends to slow down because it is dragged from beneath. In the process, the wave grows taller. Thus, the reason why a wave get taller as it gets closer to shore is that the shallow water at the bottom of the wave makes the wave length smaller. Option B

Calculate the enthalpy of the formation of butane, C4H10, using the balanced chemical equation and the standard value below:
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

+125.4 KJmol-1

Explanation:

∆H C4H10(g) = -2877.6kJ/mol

∆H C(s)=-393.5kJ/mol

∆H H2(g) = -285.8

∆H reaction= ∆Hproducts - ∆H reactants

∆H reaction= (-2877.6kJ/mol) - [4(-393.5kJ/mol) +5(-285.8)]

∆H reaction= +125.4 KJmol-1
