Hi There!

<span>How do the mass number and charge of a nucleus change when it emits a gamma ray?


</span><span>The charge doesn't change as a result of emitting a photon (which is what a gamma ray is). The mass does change by a small amount (due to the energy-mass equivalence relationship; a photon has no rest mass, but does have energy), but not by enough to make any real difference in the mass number.</span><span>

Hi,Mykayla647!
The mass number and charge do not change because Gamma rays have no charge or mass. 
I hope this helps;)

What is the mass in grams of 5.00moles of CH4?
anastassius [24]

Answer:

1. 80g

2. 1.188mole

Explanation:

1. We'll begin by obtaining the molar mass of CH4. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of CH4 = 12 + (4x1) = 12 + 4 = 16g/mol

Number of mole of CH4 from the question = 5 moles

Mass of CH4 =?

Mass = number of mole x molar Mass

Mass of CH4 = 5 x 16

Mass of CH4 = 80g

2. Mass of O2 from the question = 38g

Molar Mass of O2 = 16x2 = 32g/mol

Number of mole O2 =?

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Number of mole of O2 = 38/32

Number of mole of O2 = 1.188mole
