There is only one product in a synthesis reaction.
Distance = 1500m, time = 14min 34.56s = 14*60 + 34.56 = 874.56s
Speed = Distance / time = 1500/874.56 = 1.715 m/s
In order to swim 0.7 miles, 1 mile = 1609.344 m
Time = Distance / speed = 1609.344 m / 1.715 m/s = 938.393 seconds
938/60 = 15 minutes, 38 seconds.
= 15 minutes 38.393 seconds.

Answer:</h3>
8 alpha particles
4 beta particles
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
<u>We are given;</u>
- Neptunium-237
- Thallium-205
- Neptunium-237 undergoes beta and alpha decay to form Thallium-205.
We are required to determine the number of beta and alpha particles produced to complete the decay series.
- We need to know that when a radioisotope emits an alpha particle the mass number reduces by 4 while the atomic number decreases by 2.
- When a beta particle is emitted the mass number of the radioisotope increases by 1 while the atomic number remains the same.
In this case;
Neptunium-237 has an atomic number 93, while,
Thallium-205 has an atomic number 81.
Therefore;
²³⁷₉₃Np → x⁴₂He + y⁰₋₁e + ²⁰⁵₈₁Ti
We can get x and y
237 = 4x + y(0) + 205
237-205 = 4x
4x = 32
x = 8
On the other hand;
93 = 2x + (-y) + 81
but x = 8
93 = 16 -y + 81
y = 4
Therefore, the complete decay equation is;
²³⁷₉₃Np → 8⁴₂He + 4⁰₋₁e + ²⁰⁵₈₁Ti
Thus, Neptunium-237 emits 8 alpha particles and 4 beta particles to become Thallium-205.
