<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given options:

  • <u>Option 1:</u> Alpha

Alpha decay is defined as the process in which alpha particle is emitted. In this process, a heavier nuclei decays into a lighter nuclei. The alpha particle released carries a mass of 4 units.

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

  • <u>Option 2:</u> Beta

Beta decay is defined as the process in which beta particle is emitted. In this process, a neutron gets converted to a proton and an electron. The beta particle does not have any mass.

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

  • <u>Option 3:</u> Gamma

Gamma decay is defined as the process in which an unstable nuclei gives off excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process and thus releases \gamma -radiations. These radiations does not have any mass.

_Z^A\textrm{X}^*\rightarrow _Z^A\textrm{X}+_0^0\gamma

  • <u>Option D:</u> Nuclear

Nuclear reactions are defined as the reactions in which change of nucleus takes place.

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.

6. Consider the reaction: CzHo (g) + 02 (8) - 4 CO2(g) + 6H2O (1)
deff fn [24]

Answer:

1120 gm

Explanation:

6. Consider the reaction: CzHo (g) + 02 (8) - 4 CO2(g) + 6H2O (1)

(a) Balance the equation.

(b) How many grams of oxygen are required to react with 10 moles of ethane for a complete

combustion reaction?

FIRST, CORRECT THE EQUATION THEN BALANCE

2C2H6(G) + 7O2------------>  4CO2  + 6H2O

so for 10 moles of ethane, we need

7 X 5 = 35 MOLES O2

=35 MOLES O2

O2 HAS A MOLAR MASS OF 2X16 = 32 gm

35 MOLES OF O2 HAS A MASS OF 35 X 32 =1120 gm
