Identify the missing daughter nucleus in the β– emission decay of 106ru below.

1 answer:

8 0

β⁻ emission is an emission of an electron from the parent atom while converting a neutron into a proton. Hence, the formed daughter nucleus has the same number of mass but the atomic number is higher by 1 and number of neutrons is lower by one than the parent atom.

After a β⁻ emission of ¹⁰⁶Ru, the formed daughter nucleus should have 106 as mass number but (44 + 1) = 45 as the atomic number. 

Hence the daughter nucleus is Rh (Rhodium) which has 45 protons (atomic number).

20.0 g of Nitrogen is produced when oxygen gas reacts with NO gas. 29.8 L of oxygen is required at STP to produce this 20.0 g of

fiasKO [112]

The statement is false as 85675 grams of nitrogen dioxide is produced instead of 20 grams.

Explanation:

Balance equation for the reaction:

2NO + $O_{2}$ ⇒ 2N $O_{2}$

Data given:

mass of nitrogen produced = 20 gram

mass of oxygen = 29.8 litres or 29800 grams

0xygen is the limiting reagent so,

number of moles of oxygen: (atomic mass of 1 mole 32 grams/mole

number of moles = $\frac{mass}{atomic mass of 1 mole}$

putting the values in the equation:

= $\frac{29800}{32}$

= 931.5 moles

1 mole of oxygen reacts to give 2 moles of NO2

931.5 moles of oxygen will give x moles

$\frac{2}{1}$ = $\frac{x}{931.5}$

1862.5 moles of NO2 produced

in grams

mass = number of moles x atomic mass

mass = 1862.5 x 46.00

= 85675 grams

The statement is false as 85675 grams of nitrogen dioxide is produced instead of 20 grams as said in question.

What is a naturally occurring, solid mass of mineral or mineral-like matter?

Firdavs [7]

Rock is a combination of two or more minerals, and it does not possess any specific chemical composition. It is present naturally in the environment. Some examples of rocks are limestone, granite, etc.,Limestone may contain minerals like calcite and aragonite. Each mineral has a specific chemical composition with a well defined crystalline structure.

Therefore, the correct option would be a. rock as rock is the naturally occurring solid mass made up of different types of minerals.

What’s the difference between attractive forces and covalent bonds

Scrat [10]

Answer:

An intramolecular force is between that atoms makeup a molecule. An intermolecular force is between entire molecules. A non-polar covalent bond occurs when the electrons are equally shared between atoms.
