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

Chemistry

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>

Maggie has 4 binders with 30 stamps in each binder. She has 3 binders with 36 baseball cards in each binder. If she gives away 4
Sliva [168]

Answer:

The number of stamps and cards Maggie has left if she gives 45 stamps to a friend is 183

Explanation:

If Maggie gives 45 stamps to a friend, you must calculate the number of stamps and cards she has left.

You know Maggie has 4 folders with 30 stamps in each folder. So the number of stamps she owns is calculated as:

4 folders*30 stamps in each folder= 120 stamps

If Maggie gives 45 stamps to a friend, then the number of stamps she has left will be calculated as the difference (the subtraction) between the stamps she owned and the ones she gives away:

120 stamps - 45 stamps= 75 stamps

On the other hand, she has 3 binders with 36 baseball cards in each binder. So the number of cards she owns is calculated as:

3 binders * 36 baseball cards in each binders= 108 baseball cards

The number of stamps and cards you have left is calculated as:

75 stamps + 108 baseball cards= 183

<em><u>The number of stamps and cards Maggie has left if she gives 45 stamps to a friend is 183</u></em>
