In the summer, in the southern hemisphere. when it is summer is the northern, it is winter in the southern. all year along, the most sun hits the equator, but when it is winter in the northern hemisphere (thats when Alaska goes dark because of no sun) there is summer in the southern Hemusphere such as continents like south america, india, africa, and places like that :)

Write a balanced nuclear equation for the formation of 28 Si 14 from beta-minus emission.
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Phosphorus-28 undergoes beta-minus decay to produce

  • an electron,
  • a Silicon-28 nuclei, and
  • an electron antineutrino.

\rm ^{28}_{13} Al \to ^{28}_{14} Si + ^{\phantom{-}0}_{-1}e + \bar{\mathnormal{v}}_{\rm e}

Explanation:

In simple words, when a nucleus undergoes beta-minus decay, a neutron is converted to a proton. An electron and an electron antineutrino will be released.

\rm ^{1}_{0}n^{0} \to ^{1}_{1}p^{+} + ^{\phantom{-}0}_{-1}e^{-} + \bar{\mathnormal{v}}_{\rm e}.

One way to tell whether a neutron is converted to a proton, but not vice versa, is to check the sum charges on the two sides of this equation.

  • Left-hand side: 0. Neutron is neutral.
  • Right-hand side: 1 + (-1) = 0. Each proton carries a charge of +1. Each electron (beta-minus particle) carries a charge of -1. Antineutrinos are neutral.

The charges on the two sides of this equation is the same. Hence this nuclear equation is possible (but not necessarily correct; however, if the proton and the neutron are in the wrong place the charge won't even be the same.)

Since the mass number of a proton and a neutron are both 1, the overall mass number of the atom will stay the same.

The atomic number is the number of protons in each atom. That number determines the symbol and the chemical properties of the atom. When one neutron in an atom is converted to a proton, the atomic number of the atom will increase by 1.

The atomic number of the daughter nucleus, silicon, is 14. It takes a parent nucleus with atomic number 14 - 1 = 13 to produce a silicon atom. Refer to a modern periodic table. Atomic number 13 corresponds to the element aluminum.

Also, the mass number of the daughter nucleus is 28. Since the mass number would stay the same in a beta decay, the mass number of the parent nucleus would also be 28. In other words, it takes an aluminum-28 atom to undergo beta-decay to produce a silicon-28 atom.

Complete the other details (electron and electron antineutrino) to obtain the equation

\rm ^{28}_{13} Al \to ^{28}_{14} Si + ^{\phantom{-}0}_{-1}e + \bar{\mathnormal{v}}_{\rm e}.

Define atmpospheric pressure
krok68 [10]

Answer:

that pressure is called atmospheric pressure or air pressure. It is the force exerted on a surface by the air above is as gravity pulls it to earth. atmospheric pressure is commonly measured with a barometer. In a barometer , a column of mercury is a glass tube rises ot falls as the weight of the atmospheric changes

Photo 1: Chemical Equation for Redox of Copper and Silver Nitrate. Note: Copper has a 2 oxidation number in the products.Silver
Mekhanik [1.2K]

The copper atom is oxidized while the silver is reduced.

<h3>What is a redox reaction?</h3>

A redox reaction is one that occurs between an oxidizing agent and a reducing agent. One specie is oxidized while the other specie is reduced in the reaction.

In this case, the oxidizing agent is the silver and the reducing agent is the copper atom. The copper atom is oxidized while the silver is reduced.

The complete equation is;

Cu(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) -----> Cu(NO3)2(aq) + Ag(s)

Ionically;

Cu(s) + 2Ag^+ -----> Cu^2+(aq) + Ag(s)
