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

Chemistry

svetoff [14.1K]3 years ago

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>

Charra [1.4K]
Titration experiments require the use of a burette. It is a long graduated glass tube held in place by a clamp stand. It has a tap fixture on the end that regulates the delivery of small volumes of liquid into a beaker in the titration process. Bunsen burners are used to heat substances and crucibles are used to hold items to be heated to high temperatures.
