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

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>

Answer:

When nitric acid combine with sodium hydroxide the salt formed is called sodium nitrate. option B

Explanation:

It is the strong acid strong base reaction. When acid and base react with each other salt and water are formed.

In given reaction  nitric acid combine with sodium hydroxide base and form sodium nitrate salt and water.

Chemical equation:

HNO₃(aq) + NaOH(aq)       →      NaNO₃(aq) + H₂O(l)

Ionic equation:

H⁺NO₃⁻(aq) + Na⁺OH⁻(aq)       →      Na⁺NO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l)

Net ionic equation:

H⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)   →   H₂O(l)

The Na⁺(aq) and NO₃⁻(aq) are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The water can not be splitted into ions because it is present in liquid form.

Spectator ions:

These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation.

If the density of an object is 5.2g/cm3, and it’s volume is 3.7 cm3, what is it’s mass?
lord [1]
Here's the equation you use: Density = mass/volume 

1) 5.2g/cm^3 = m/3.7cm^3 

2) m = 5.2g/cm^3 x 3.7cm^3 

3) m = 19.24g 

You can check the answer by plugging it in 

19.24g/3.7cm^3 
= 5.2g/cm^3

A 45 mL sample of nitrogen gas is cooled from 135ºC to 15C in a container that can contract or expand at constant pressure. Wha
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

V₂ =31.8 mL

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial  volume of gas = 45 mL

Initial temperature = 135°C (135+273 =408 K)

Final temperature = 15°C (15+273 =288 K)

Final volume of gas = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solve through the Charles Law.

According to this law, The volume of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant number of moles and pressure.

Mathematical expression:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

V₂ = Final volume  

T₂ = Final temperature

Now we will put the values in formula.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₂ = V₁T₂/T₁  

V₂ = 45 mL × 288 K / 408 k

V₂ = 12960 mL.K / 408 K

V₂ =31.8 mL
