It is desired to determine the concentration of arsenic in a lake sediment sample by means of neutron activation analysis. The n
uclide captures a neutron to form , which in turn undergoes β decay. The daughter nuclide produces the characteristic γ rays used for the analysis. What is the daughter nuclide?
1 answer:
Answer:
The daughter nuclide is selenium; 76:34 Se
Explanation:
The complete question is as follows;
is desired to determine the concentration of arsenic in a lake sediment sample by means of neutron activation analysis. The nuclide 75:33 As captures a neutron to form 76:33 As, which in turn undergoes beta decay. The daughter nuclide produces the characteristic gamma rays used for the analysis. What is the daughter nuclide?

The number of liters of 3.00 M lead (II) iodide : 0.277 L
<h3>Further explanation</h3>Reaction(balanced)
Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2KI(aq) → 2KNO₃(aq) + PbI₂(s)
moles of KI = 1.66
From the equation, mol ratio of KI : PbI₂ = 2 : 1, so mol PbI₂ :
Molarity shows the number of moles of solute in every 1 liter of solute or mmol in each ml of solution
Where
M = Molarity
n = Number of moles of solute
V = Volume of solution
So the number of liters(V) of 3.00 M lead (II) iodide-PbI₂ (n=0.83, M=3):
