Which equation shows the beta decay of a transuranium element

Chemistry

GalinKa [24]3 years ago

1) Since you have not provided the equations to select the right one, I am going to explain you the relevant facts that are used to solve this question.



2) The transuranium elements are the chemiical elements with atomic number greater than that of the uranium.


The atomic number of uranium is 92. So, the transuranium elements are the elements with atomic number 93 or greater.



This are some of the transuranium elements:


Neptunio - 93

Plutonium - 94

Americium - 95

Curium - 96

Berkelium - 97

Californium - 98

Einstenium - 99



And so all the known elements (the last one is the 118).



3) In a nuclear reaction the total mass number ( shown as superscript to the left of the symbol) and total atomic number (shown as subscript to the left of the symbol) are conserved.



4) Beta decay is the release of a beta particle, which is an electron (considered massles and with charge - 1). So, the beta decay is represented with the symbol:


0

  β, which means 0 mass and charge - 1.

-1



5) This is, then, an example of a β decay equation for one transuranium element:


239              239            0

      Np    →         Pu   +      β

  93                94            -1



As you see 239 = 239 + 0 and 93 = 94 - 1, showing that the total mass number ( shown as superscript to the left of the symbol) and the total atomic number (shown as subscript to the left of the symbol) are conserved.

When KNO3 dissolved in water, what is the intermolecular attraction between NO3 ions
Snezhnost [94]
Ion-dipole forces

H2O has hydrogen bonding, which is a form of dipole-dipole forces, and NO3- is an ion, so the intermolecular attraction is ion-dipole.

Calculate the molar solubility of CaF2 at 25°C in a solution that is 0.010 M in Ca(NO3)2. The Ksp for CaF2 is 3.9 x 10-11.
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Molar \ solubility=3.12x10^{-5}M

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the dissociation of calcium fluoride:

CaF_2(s)\rightleftharpoons Ca^{2+}+2F^-

The equilibrium expression is:

Ksp=[Ca^{2+}][F^-]^2

In such a way, via the ICE procedure, including an initial concentration of calcium of 0.01 M (due to the calcium nitrate solution), the reaction extent x is computed as follows:

3.9x10^{-11}=(0.01+x)(2*x)^2\\\\x=0.0000312M

Thus, the molar solubility equals the reaction extent x, therefore:

Molar \ solubility=3.12x10^{-5}M

Regards.
