What is the most likely decay for the fe-53 nucleus?

Chemistry
1 answer:
svetoff [14.1K]3 years ago
7 0
The element number of Fe is 26, which means that the number of neutrons of the following isotopes is: 

<span>53-Fe: 27 </span>
<span>54-Fe: 28 </span>
<span>56-Fe: 30 </span>
<span>57-Fe: 31 </span>
<span>58-Fe: 32 </span>
<span>59-Fe: 33 </span>

<span>Because 53-Fe has too few neutrons when compared to the other isotopes we can rule out any decay that involves losing a neutron: (alpha decay, beta decay) So, this isotope will prefer to decay by electron capture or positron emission (assuming the system has about 1 MeV to spare), but in each case the product will be the same: 53-Mn (long-lived radioisotope). </span>

Which solution would cause blue litmus paper to turn red?
True [87]
An acidic solution would turn a blue litmus paper red due to the mobile and free hydrogen (H+) ions. These hydrogen ions affect the colour property of the litmus papers and thus the colour change. A litmus paper dropped into a solution of hydrogen ions turns red to indicate that the solution is acidic.

juin [17]
<span>2Al + 3Br2 -------------> 2AlBr3

</span>3 g Al = 0.11 mol Al. 

<span>6 g Br2 = 0.0375 mole bromine (it is diatomic). </span>

<span>moles of aluminium will take part in reaction = 0.0375 X (2/3) = 0.025. </span>

<span>Gram-mole of AlBr3 will be produced = 0.025 mole = 6.6682 g. 
</span>moles of Al left = 0.11 - 0.025 = 0.086<span>
