Write a balanced nuclear equation for the formation of 28 Si 14 from beta-minus emission.
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Phosphorus-28 undergoes beta-minus decay to produce

  • an electron,
  • a Silicon-28 nuclei, and
  • an electron antineutrino.

\rm ^{28}_{13} Al \to ^{28}_{14} Si + ^{\phantom{-}0}_{-1}e + \bar{\mathnormal{v}}_{\rm e}

Explanation:

In simple words, when a nucleus undergoes beta-minus decay, a neutron is converted to a proton. An electron and an electron antineutrino will be released.

\rm ^{1}_{0}n^{0} \to ^{1}_{1}p^{+} + ^{\phantom{-}0}_{-1}e^{-} + \bar{\mathnormal{v}}_{\rm e}.

One way to tell whether a neutron is converted to a proton, but not vice versa, is to check the sum charges on the two sides of this equation.

  • Left-hand side: 0. Neutron is neutral.
  • Right-hand side: 1 + (-1) = 0. Each proton carries a charge of +1. Each electron (beta-minus particle) carries a charge of -1. Antineutrinos are neutral.

The charges on the two sides of this equation is the same. Hence this nuclear equation is possible (but not necessarily correct; however, if the proton and the neutron are in the wrong place the charge won't even be the same.)

Since the mass number of a proton and a neutron are both 1, the overall mass number of the atom will stay the same.

The atomic number is the number of protons in each atom. That number determines the symbol and the chemical properties of the atom. When one neutron in an atom is converted to a proton, the atomic number of the atom will increase by 1.

The atomic number of the daughter nucleus, silicon, is 14. It takes a parent nucleus with atomic number 14 - 1 = 13 to produce a silicon atom. Refer to a modern periodic table. Atomic number 13 corresponds to the element aluminum.

Also, the mass number of the daughter nucleus is 28. Since the mass number would stay the same in a beta decay, the mass number of the parent nucleus would also be 28. In other words, it takes an aluminum-28 atom to undergo beta-decay to produce a silicon-28 atom.

Complete the other details (electron and electron antineutrino) to obtain the equation

\rm ^{28}_{13} Al \to ^{28}_{14} Si + ^{\phantom{-}0}_{-1}e + \bar{\mathnormal{v}}_{\rm e}.

What is the observation of heating copper carbonate???.?
damaskus [11]

Answer:

1)This type of reaction is called thermal decomposition . Copper carbonate is green and copper oxide is black. You can see a colour change from green to black during the reaction. The carbon dioxide produced can be detected using limewater, which turns milky. 2) The extremely low pressure of the partial vacuum inside the can made it possible for the pressure of the air outside the can to crush it. A can is crushed when the pressure outside is greater than the pressure inside, and the pressure difference is greater than the can is able to withstand.

Explanation:

hope this helps you :)
