Answer: _{-1}^0\beta

Explanation:  

General representation of an element is given as:   _Z^A\textrm{X}

where,

Z represents Atomic number

A represents Mass number

X represents the symbol of an element

Beta decay : In this process, a neutron gets converted into a proton and an electron releasing a beta-particle. The beta particle released carries a charge of -1 units.

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta

The given reaction would be represented as:

_{43}^{98}\textrm{Tc}\rightarrow_{44}^{98}\textrm{Pb}+_{-1}^0\beta

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The high energy electrons are known as beta particles. Charge on a beta particle is -1, that is, similar to the charge present in an electron.

Hence, symbol that represents a beta particle is ^{0}_{-1}\beta.

For example, ^{98}_{43}Tc \rightarrow ^{98}_{44}Ru + ^{0}_{-1}\beta

This reaction is a radioactive decay rection when ^{98}_{43}Tc on decaying gives ^{98}_{44}Rualong with emission of a beta particle.

Whereas ^{4}_{2}He is an alpha particle,  ^{0}_{0}\gamma is a gamma particle, and ^{1}_{0}n is a neutron.

Thus, we can conclude that the particle ^{0}_{-1}\beta would complete this given beta decay reaction.

A mixture of gases at a total pressure of 95 kPa contains N₂, CO₂, and O₂. The partial pressure of the CO₂ is 24 kPa and the par
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

23 kPa = Partial pressure O₂

Explanation:

In a mixture of gases, the sum of partial pressure of each gas that contains the mixture = Total pressure

Total pressure = Partial pressure N₂ + Partial pressure CO₂ + Partial pressure O₂

95 kPa = 48 kPa + 24 kPa + Partial pressure O₂

95 kPa - 48 kPa - 24 kPa = Partial pressure O₂

23 kPa = Partial pressure O₂

Using the van der waals equation, the pressure in a 22.4 L vessel containing 1.50 mol of chlorine gas at 0.00 c is____________at
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

D. 1.48atm

Explanation:

Van der waals equation is given as:

(P +an²/v²) (v - nb) = nRT

Where;

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (L)

R = gas constant (0.0821 Latm/molK)

a and b = gas constant specific to each gas

T = temperature (K)

n = number of moles

According to the given information; V = 22.4L, T = 0.00°C (273.15K), R = 0.0821 Latm/molK, a = 6.49L^2-atm/mol^2, b = 0.0562 L/mol, n = 1.5mol

Hence;

(P + 6.49 × 1.5²/22.4²) (22.4 - 1.5×0.0562) = 1.5 × 0.0821 × 273.15

(P + 6.49 × 2.25/501.76) (22.4 - 0.0843) = 33.638

(P + 0.0291) (22.316) = 33.638

22.316P + 0.649 = 33.638

22.316P = 33.638 - 0.649

22.316P = 32.989

P = 32.989/22.316

P = 1.478

P = 1.48atm
