Technetium-99m, a “metastable” nuclide of

Chemistry
1 answer:
Bond [772]3 years ago
4 0
In beta decay, a neutron is transformed into a proton via emission of an electron. This means that the total nucleon number remains the same; however, the proton number is increased by one (and the neutron number decreases by one). Therefore, the parent atom must also have mass number 99 but be of one less atomic number.
The atomic number of Tc is 43 and proton number 42 is Mo. Therefore, the answer is:
99Mo

What is the change in internal energy for each of the following situations? 1. q-7.9 J out of the system and w 3.6 J done on the
adoni [48]

Answer:

A i. Internal energy ΔU = -4.3 J ii. Internal energy ΔU = -6.0 J B. The second system is lower in energy.

Explanation:

A. We know that the internal energy,ΔU = q + w where q = quantity of heat and w = work done on system.

1. In the above q = -7.9 J (the negative indicating heat loss by the system). w = 3.6 J (It is positive because work is done on the system). So, the internal energy for this system is ΔU₁ = q + w = -7.9J + 3.6J = -4.3 J

ii. From the question q = +1.5 J (the positive indicating heat into the system). w = -7.5 J (It is negative because work is done by the system). So, the internal energy for this system is ΔU₂ = q + w = +1.5J + (-7.5J) = +1.5J - 7.5J = - 6.0J

B. We know that ΔU = U₂ - U₁ where U₁ and U₂ are the initial and final internal energies of the system. Since for the systems above, the initial internal energies U₁ are the same, then we say U₁ = U. Let U₁ and U₂ now represent the final energies of both systems in A i and A ii above. So, we write ΔU₁ = U₁ - U and ΔU₂ = U₂ - U where ΔU₁ and ΔU₂ are the internal energy changes in A i and A ii respectively. Now from ΔU₁ = U₁ - U, U₁ = ΔU₁ + U and U₂ = ΔU₂ + U. Subtracting both equations U₁ - U₂ = ΔU₁ - ΔU₂

= -4.3J -(-6.0 J)= 1.7 J. Since U₁ - U₂ > 0 , U₂ < U₁ , so the second system's internal energy increase less and is lower in energy and is more stable.

How are isotopes defined? forms of different elements that have the same number of neutrons in each atom forms of different elem
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer : The correct option is, forms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons in each atom

Explanation :

Isotopes : It is defined as the forms of same element that have the same number of protons and electrons but differ in the number of neutrons.

For example : Carbon-12, carbon-13 and carbon-14 is an isotopes due to the same number of protons and electrons and different number of neutrons.

Carbon-12

Atomic number = 6

Atomic mass = 12

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 6

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Atomic number = 12 - 6 = 6

Carbon-13

Atomic number = 6

Atomic mass = 13

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 6

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Atomic number = 13 - 6 = 7

Carbon-14

Atomic number = 6

Atomic mass = 14

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 6

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Atomic number = 14 - 6 = 8
