Answer: The correct option is 4.

Explanation: All the options will undergo some type of radioactive decay processes. There are 3 decay processes:

1) Alpha decay: It is a decay process in which alpha particle is released which has has a mass number of 4 and a charge of +2.

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}\textrm{Y}+_2^4\alpha

2) Beta-minus decay: It is a decay in which a beta particle is released. The  beta particle released has a mass number of 0 and a charge of (-1).

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

3) Beta-plus decay: It is a decay process in which a positron is released. The positron released has a mass number of 0 and has a charge of +1.

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

For the given options:

Option 1: This nuclei will undergo beta-plus decay process to form _{25}^{53}\textrm{Mn}

_{26}^{53}\textrm{Fe}\rightarrow _{25}^{53}\textrm{Mn}+_{+1}^0\beta

Option 2: This nuclei will undergo beta-minus decay process to form _{80}^{198}\textrm{Hg}

_{79}^{198}\textrm{Au}\rightarrow _{80}^{198}\textrm{Hg}+_{-1}^0\beta

Option 3: This nuclei will undergo a beta minus decay process to form _{56}^{137}\textrm{Ba}

_{55}^{137}\textrm{Cs}\rightarrow _{56}^{137}\textrm{Ba}+_{-1}^0\beta

Option 4: This nuclei will undergo an alpha decay process to form _{85}^{216}\textrm{At}

_{87}^{220}\textrm{Fr}\rightarrow _{85}^{216}\textrm{At}+_2^4\alpha

Hence, the correct option is 4.

If 120.3 mL of water is shaken with oxygen gas at 2.1 atm, it will dissolve 0.0043 g O2. Estimate the Henry's law constant for t
nikklg [1K]

<u>Answer:</u> The Henry's law constant for oxygen gas in water is 1.702\times 10^{-5}g/mL.atm

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:

C_{O_2}=K_H\times p_{O_2}

where,

K_H = Henry's constant = ?

C_{O_2} = solubility of oxygen gas = 0.0043g/120.3mL

p_{O_2 = partial pressure of oxygen gas = 2.1 atm

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.0043g/120.3mL=K_H\times 2.1atm\\\\K_H=\frac{0.0043g}{120.3mL\times 2.1atm}=1.702\times 10^{-5}g/mL.atm

Hence, the Henry's law constant for oxygen gas in water is 1.702\times 10^{-5}g/mL.atm

Write the balanced COMPLETE ionic equation for the reaction when Na₂CO₃ and AgNO₃ are mixed in aqueous solution. If no reaction
alexdok [17]

Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

Write the balanced COMPLETE ionic equation for the reaction when Na₂CO₃ and AgNO₃ are mixed in aqueous solution. If no reaction occurs, simply write only NR.

Ag (+1) + NO3(-1) + 2 Na(+1) + Co3 (-2)--> Ag2CO3 (s) + 2 Na (+1) + 2NO3(-1)
