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

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>

13. A mixture of MgCO3 and MgCO3.3H2O has a mass of 3.883 g. After heating to drive off all the water the mass is 2.927 g. What
rjkz [21]

Answer:

63.05% of MgCO3.3H2O by mass

Explanation:

<em>of MgCO3.3H2O in the mixture?</em>

The difference in masses after heating the mixture = Mass of water. With the mass of water we can find its moles and the moles and mass of MgCO3.3H2O to find the mass percent as follows:

<em>Mass water:</em>

3.883g - 2.927g = 0.956g water

<em>Moles water -18.01g/mol-</em>

0.956g water * (1mol/18.01g) = 0.05308 moles H2O.

<em>Moles MgCO3.3H2O:</em>

0.05308 moles H2O * (1mol MgCO3.3H2O / 3mol H2O) =

0.01769 moles MgCO3.3H2O

<em>Mass MgCO3.3H2O -Molar mass: 138.3597g/mol-</em>

0.01769 moles MgCO3.3H2O * (138.3597g/mol) = 2.448g MgCO3.3H2O

<em>Mass percent:</em>

2.448g MgCO3.3H2O / 3.883g Mixture * 100 =

<h3>63.05% of MgCO3.3H2O by mass</h3>
