The formula for mole fraction is:
-(1)
The solubility of oxygen gas = 1.0 mmol/L (given)
1.0 mmol/L means 1.0 mmol are present in 1 L.
Converting mmol to mol:
So, moles of oxygen = 0.001 mol
For moles of water:
1 L of water = 1000 mL of water
Since, the density of water is 1.0 g/mL.
So, the mass of water is 1000 g.
Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol.
Number of moles of water =
Substituting the values in formula (1):
Hence, the mole fraction is .
Answer: The net change in the atoms is the conversion of a neutron to a proton, turning Carbon (6 protons) into Nitrogen (7 protons).
Explanation:
Carbon-14, generated from the atmosphere, has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. That's where the 14 comes from, called the mass number, is the sum of protons and neutrons (6+8=14).
Carbon-14 is radioactive and decays by beta decay. That means one of its neutrons spontaneously turns into a proton, an electron, and a neutrino, according to:
After that, the atom has 7 protons and 7 neutrons, maintaining its mass number but changing its atomic number from 6 to 7, turning into Nitrogen.
