Answer:

(a)   ¹⁴₆ C ⇒         ¹⁴₇ N +  ⁰₋₁ e

(b) ¹⁴⁰₅₅ Cs ⇒  ¹⁴⁰₅₆ Ba + ⁰₋₁ e

(c) ²³⁴₉₀ Th ⇒  ²³⁴₉₁ Pa + ⁰₋₁ e

Explanation:

In a beta decay the nuclide emits a beta particle which are high enery electrons. The number of neutrons decreases by one and the atomic number increases also by one moving the nuclide one place to the right in the periodic table. The mass of the nuclide does not change since the mass of electron is negligible compared to the proton and neutron.

(a)   ¹⁴₆ C ⇒         ¹⁴₇ N +  ⁰₋₁ e

(b) ¹⁴⁰₅₅ Cs ⇒  ¹⁴⁰₅₆ Ba + ⁰₋₁ e

(c) ²³⁴₉₀ Th ⇒  ²³⁴₉₁ Pa + ⁰₋₁ e

Suppose 0.245 g of sodium chloride is dissolved in 50. mL of a 18.0 m M aqueous solution of silver nitrate.
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{ 0.066 mol/L}}

Explanation:

We are given the amounts of two reactants, so this is a limiting reactant problem.

1. Assemble all the data in one place, with molar masses above the formulas and other information below them.

Mᵣ:       58.44  

            NaCl + AgNO₃ ⟶ NaNO₃ + AgCl

m/g:     0.245

V/mL:                 50.

c/mmol·mL⁻¹:       0.0180

2. Calculate the moles of each reactant  

\text{Moles of NaCl} = \text{245 mg NaCl} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mmol NaCl}}{\text{58.44 mg NaCl}} = \text{4.192 mmol NaCl}\\\\\text{ Moles of AgNO}_{3}= \text{50. mL AgNO}_{3} \times \dfrac{\text{0.0180 mmol AgNO}_{3}}{\text{1 mL AgNO}_{3}} = \text{0.900 mmol AgNO}_{3}

3. Identify the limiting reactant  

Calculate the moles of AgCl we can obtain from each reactant.

From NaCl:  

The molar ratio of NaCl to AgCl is 1:1.

\text{Moles of AgCl} = \text{4.192 mmol NaCl} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mmol AgCl}}{\text{1 mmol NaCl}} = \text{4.192 mmol AgCl}

From AgNO₃:  

The molar ratio of AgNO₃ to AgCl is 1:1.  

\text{Moles of AgCl} = \text{0.900 mmol AgNO}_{3} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mmol AgCl}}{\text{1 mmol AgNO}_{3}} = \text{0.900 mmol AgCl}

AgNO₃ is the limiting reactant because it gives the smaller amount of AgCl.

4. Calculate the moles of excess reactant

                   Ag⁺(aq)  +  Cl⁻(aq) ⟶ AgCl(s)

 I/mmol:      0.900        4.192            0

C/mmol:    -0.900       -0.900        +0.900

E/mmol:      0                3.292          0.900

So, we end up with 50. mL of a solution containing 3.292 mmol of Cl⁻.

5. Calculate the concentration of Cl⁻

\text{[Cl$^{-}$] } = \dfrac{\text{3.292 mmol}}{\text{50. mL}} = \textbf{0.066 mol/L}\\\text{The concentration of chloride ion is $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.066 mol/L}}$}

WHAT MASS OF WATER WILL BE PRODUCED FROM 2.70 MOLES OF CA(OH)2 REACTING WITH HCI
Keith_Richards [23]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of water produced in the reaction is 97.2 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Moles of calcium hydroxide = 2.70 moles

The chemical equation for the reaction of calcium hydroxide and HCl follows:

Ca(OH)_2+HCl\rightarrow CaCl_2+2H_2O

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of calcium hydroxide produces 2 moles of water

So, 2.70 moles of calcium hydroxide will produce = \frac{2}{1}\times 2.70=5.40mol of HCl

To calculate mass for given number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Moles of water = 5.40 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

5.40mol=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{18g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=(5.40mol\times 18g/mol)=97.2g

Hence, the mass of water produced in the reaction is 97.2 grams

A geochemist in the field takes a small sample of the crystals of mineral compound X from a rock pool lined with more crystals o
dedylja [7]

Answer:

1. <u>No, you cannot calculate the solubility of X in water at 26ºC.</u>

Explanation:

You cannot calculate the solubility of X in <em>water at 26 degrees Celsius </em>because you do not know whether the solution formed by dissolving the crystals in 3.00 liters of water is saturaed or not.

The only way to determine the solubility of the compound X is by dissolving the crystals in certain (measured) amount of water and making sure that some crystals remain undissolved, as a solid on the bottom of the beaker.

Next, you should filter the solution to remove the undissolved crystals. Then, weigh the solution, evaporate, wash, dry, and weigh the crystals.

Then you have the mass of the crystals dissolved and the mass of the solution which will let you calculate the mass of pure water, and then the solubility.

What did Rutherford’s scattering experiment reveal about the structure of atoms?
Stels [109]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

This experiment by Rutherford involved the firing of alpha particles at gold foils. It is also. called the gold foil experiment.

He fired these alpha particles at different points. He noticed that at some points, there were deflections, while at some other points, there were no deflections. It is necessary to state that these alpha particles are positively charged. For there to be a deflection, there must have been a kind of repulsion between the gold foil and the alpha particles.

From the basic physics of like repels like, he knew for sure that there must be dense positive core in the atom that is causing the deflection of the alpha particles. This enabled him to come up with the theory that the atom contained a small dense positive core called the nucleus
