When a beta particle is released from the nucleus of an atom:

Chemistry
2 answers:
Travka [436]3 years ago

Answer: c. the mass number of the atom remains the same

Explanation:

General representation of an element is given as: _Z^A\textrm{X} where,

Z represents Atomic number

A represents Mass number

X represents the symbol of an element

Beta-decay: In this process, a neutron gets converted into a proton and an electron releasing a beta-particle. The beta particle released carries a charge of -1 units.  Thus the number of electrons

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

How to balance lead and silver acetate yields lead (||) acetate and silver
arsen [322]
The given elements put into an equation using their symbols  are as follows:
Pb + AgC_{2}H_{3}O_{2} = Pb(II){(C_{2}H_{3}O_{2})_2} + Ag

Since there are 2 Pb on the right side of the equation, you would change the coefficient of Pb on the left side to 2:
2Pb + AgC_{2}H_{3}O_{2} = Pb(II){(C_{2}H_{3}O_{2})_2} + Ag

Since there are 2 Acetate on the right side of the equation, you would change the coefficient of Silver Acetate on the left side to 2:
2Pb + 2AgC_{2}H_{3}O_{2} = Pb(II){(C_{2}H_{3}O_{2})_2} + Ag

Now there are 2 Silver on the left side, so you change the coefficient of Silver on the right side to 2:
2Pb + 2AgC_{2}H_{3}O_{2} = Pb(II){(C_{2}H_{3}O_{2})_2} + 2Ag

That is your final equation

The coefficients are 2 + 2 = 1 + 2

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), the intoxicant in alcoholic beverages, is also used to make other organic compounds. In concentrated sulfuri
Fed [463]

Answer:

a) 88.48%

b) 0.05625 mol

Explanation:

2CH₃CH₂OH(l) → CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃(l) + H₂O(g)         Reaction 1

CH₃CH₂OH(l) → CH₂═CH₂(g) + H₂O(g)                        Reaction 2

a) CH₃CH₂OH = 46.0684 g/mol

   CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃ = 74.12 g/mol

1 mol CH₃CH₂OH ______  46.0684 g

x                            ______   50.0 g

x = 1.085 mol  CH₃CH₂OH

1 mol  CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃ ______  74.12 g g

y                           ______   35.9 g

y = 0.48 mol   CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃

100% yield _____ 0.5425 mol CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃

w                _____  0.48 mol CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃

w = 88.48%

b) Only 0.96 mol of ethanol reacted to form diethyl ether. This means that 0.125 mol of ethanol did not react. 45% of 0.125 mol reacted to form ethylene. Therefore, 0.05625 mol of ethanol reacted by the side reaction (reaction 2). Since 1 mol of ethanol leads to 1 mol of ethylene, 0.05625 mol of ethanol produces 0.05625 mol of ethylene.

Due to the low specific heat capacity of water the temperature of water changes much more quickly than the temperature of
Sholpan [36]

This statement is <u>TRUE.</u>

Explanation:

Due to the high heat capacity of water, it takes much more energy to have a gram of water raised by one degree compared to one gram of land. This is why during a hot day, the ground gets hotter faster than the adjacent oceans or adjacent lakes. It also takes water to lose the same amount of energy to have its temperatures drop by one degree as compared to land. During the night, therefore, this is why adjacent water bodies remain relatively warmer than land.

And electro chemical cell has the following standard cell notation:
pochemuha

2Ag⁺(aq) + Mg(s)→ 2Ag(s) + Mg²⁺ (aq)

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Standard cell notation:

Mg(s) | Mg2+ (aq) || Ag+(aq)| Ag(s)

Required

a balanced redox reaction

Solution

At the cathode the reduction reaction occurs, the anode oxidation reaction occurs

In reaction:  

Ag⁺ + Mg → Ag + Mg²⁺  

half-reactions

  • at the cathode (reduction reaction)

Ag⁺ (aq) + e⁻ ---> Ag (s)  x2

2Ag⁺ (aq) + 2e⁻ ---> 2Ag (s)

  • at the anode (oxidation reaction)

Mg (s) → Mg²⁺ (aq) + 2e−

a balanced cell reaction

<em>2Ag⁺(aq) + Mg(s)→ 2Ag(s) + Mg²⁺ (aq) </em>

Enough of a monoprotic acid is dissolved in water to produce a 1.35 M solution. The pH of the resulting solution is 2.93. Calcul
Ede4ka [16]
The acid dissociation constant is defined as Ka = [H+][A-]/[HA] where [H+], [A-] and [HA] are the concentrations of protons, conjugate base, and acid in solution respectively. Assuming this is a weak acid as the pH is quite high for a 1.35 M solution, we can assume that the change in [HA] is negligible and therefore [HA] = 1.35 M.
To calculate [H+] we can use the relationship pH = -log[H+], rearranging to give: [H+] = 10^(-pH) = 10^(-2.93) = 1.17 x 10^(-3).
Since the acid is relatively concentrated we can assume therefore that       [H+] = [A-] as for each proton dissociated, a conjugate base is formed.
Therefore, we can calculate Ka as:
Ka = [H+]^2/[HA] = (1.17 x 10^-3 M)^2/1.35 = 1.01 x 10^-6 M
