What kind of nuclear reaction would result in the release of a beta particle

1 answer:

3 0

Beta decay converts a neutron to a proton and emits a high-energy electron, producing a daughter nucleus with the same mass number as the parent and an atomic number that is higher by 1.

If 5.58 g of iron reacts with sulfur to produce 8.79 g of iron sulfide, what is the mass of reacting sulfur? A) 3215 B) 14:37 C)

gogolik [260]

Answer: A) 3.21 g

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side.

$Fe+S\rightarrow FeS$

We are given:

Mass of iron = 5.58 g

Mass of iron sulphide = 8.79 g

Mass of sulphur = x g

Total mass on reactant side = 5.58 + x

Total mass on product side = 8.79 g

Applying law of conservation of mass, we get:

$5.58+x=8.79\\\\x=3.21g$

Hence, the mass of reacting sulfur is 3.21 g.

Which statement about relative motion is not true?

AURORKA [14]

Explanation:

laws of physics which apply when you are at rest on the earth also apply when you are in any reference frame which is moving at a constant velocity with respect to the earth. For example, you can toss and catch a ball in a moving bus if the motion is in a straight line at constant speed.

The acidity of normal rain water is due to ______.<br><br> a) SO2<br> b) CO2<br> c) NO2<br> d) NO

Viktor [21]

The correct answer choice is CO₂ (B)

Rainwater naturally contains acids derived from carbon dioxide in the air and reacts with water vapor to form weak acids

H₂O + CO₂ ---> H₂CO₃

<h3><em>Further Explanation</em></h3>

Rainwater can cause damage to buildings, animals or plants due to acid rain

Acid rain occurs because other gases in the air mix with toxic gases to form acids

Rainwater naturally contains acids derived from carbon dioxide in the air and reacts with water vapor to form weak acids

H₂O + CO₂ ---> H₂CO₃

However, due to exhaust gases from industry, motor vehicles, or power plants that use fossil fuels containing sulfur to produce sulfur dioxide gas which will produce sulfuric acid

Sulfur combustion from fossil fuels

S + O₂ ----> SO₂

SO₂ produced from this exhaust gas reacts with O₂ oxygen which oxidizes SO₂ to SO₃

SO₂ + O₂ ----> SO₃

SO3 formed reacts with water vapor in the air to produce sulfuric acid as acid rain

SO₃ + H₂O ---> H₂SO₄

To reduce the pollution from this fossil fuel, various studies are now carried out as substitute energy that is more environmentally friendly such as solar energy and so on
