Chemistry
1 answer:
lesya692 [45]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

a. What is the mass number of the particle emitted from the nucleus during beta minus (β–) decay?

zero

The beta radiations are emitted in this reaction. The one electron is ejected and neutron is converted into proton.

⁴₆C → ¹⁴₇N + ⁰₋₁e

b. What kind of charge does the particle emitted from the nucleus during beta minus (β–) decay have?

Negative charge

Electron is emitted during beta decay and it carry negative charge.

c. What is another name for a beta minus (β–) particle?

Electron

During beta minus decay electron is emitted and neutron is converted into proton.

d. Write the balanced equation for the alpha decay that is below the “Show Equation.” Label the parent, daughter, and beta particle.

Equation is missing

a. What happens in the nucleus of an atom when an alpha particle is emitted?

When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number less than 4  and atomic number less than 2 as compared to the starting atom.

b. b. What happens in the nucleus of an atom when a beta particle is emitted?

When nucleus emit the beta particle neutron is converted into proton and this proton stay into the nucleus while at the same time electron is emitted. Thus atomic number is increased by one.

⁴₆C → ¹⁴₇N + ⁰₋₁e

calculate how many milliliters of 0.142 M NaOH are needed to completely neutralize 21.4 mL of 0.294 M H2C4H4O6.
Flura [38]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 88.7 ml

Explanation:

Data

Volume = ?

Concentration of NaOH = 0.142 M

Volume of H₂C₄H₄O₆ = 21.4 ml

Concentration of H₂C₄H₄O₆ = 0.294 M

Balanced chemical reaction

               2 NaOH + H₂C₄H₄O₆  ⇒  Na₂C₄H₄O₆  +  2H₂O

1.- Calculate the moles of H₂C₄H₄O₆

Molarity = moles/volume

Solve for moles

moles = Molarity x volume

Substitution

moles = 0.294 x 21.4/1000

Result

moles = 0.0063

2.- Use proportions to calculate the moles of NaOH

              2 moles of NaOH ------------------ 1 moles of H₂C₄H₄O₆

               x                           ------------------ 0.0063 moles

               x = (0.0063 x 2) / 1

               x = 0.0126 moles of NaOH

3.- Calculate the volume  of NaOH

Molarity = moles / volume

Solve for volume

Volume = moles/Molarity

Substitution

Volume = 0.0126/0.142

Result

Volume = 0.088 L or 88.7 ml

To balance the equation, both side have same number of elements. Here,</span>

In left hand side has                                            in right hand side has

           4 H atoms                                                       2 H atoms

First, we have to balance number of C atoms and number of H atoms in both side.  
To balance C atoms, '2' should be added before CO</span>₂ and to balance H atoms, '2' should be added before H₂<span>O.
