Answer:
0.51M
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial volume of NaBr = 340mL
Initial molarity = 1.5M
Final volume = 1000mL
Unknown:
Final molarity = ?
Solution;
This is a dilution problem whereas the concentration of a compound changes from one to another.
In this kind of problem, we must establish that the number of moles still remains the same.
number of moles initially before diluting = number of moles after dilution
Number of moles = Molarity x volume
Let us find the number of moles;
Number of moles = initial volume x initial molarity
Convert mL to dm³;
1000mL = 1dm³
340mL gives = 0.34dm³
Number of moles = initial volume x initial molarity = 0.34 x 1.5 = 0.51moles
Now to find the new molarity/concentration;
Final molarity = =
= 0.51M
We can see a massive drop in molarity this is due to dilution of the initial concentration.
Answer:
Phosphorus-28 undergoes beta-minus decay to produce
- an electron,
- a Silicon-28 nuclei, and
- an electron antineutrino.
Explanation:
In simple words, when a nucleus undergoes beta-minus decay, a neutron is converted to a proton. An electron and an electron antineutrino will be released.
.
One way to tell whether a neutron is converted to a proton, but not vice versa, is to check the sum charges on the two sides of this equation.
- Left-hand side: 0. Neutron is neutral.
- Right-hand side: 1 + (-1) = 0. Each proton carries a charge of +1. Each electron (beta-minus particle) carries a charge of -1. Antineutrinos are neutral.
The charges on the two sides of this equation is the same. Hence this nuclear equation is possible (but not necessarily correct; however, if the proton and the neutron are in the wrong place the charge won't even be the same.)
Since the mass number of a proton and a neutron are both 1, the overall mass number of the atom will stay the same.
The atomic number is the number of protons in each atom. That number determines the symbol and the chemical properties of the atom. When one neutron in an atom is converted to a proton, the atomic number of the atom will increase by 1.
The atomic number of the daughter nucleus, silicon, is 14. It takes a parent nucleus with atomic number to produce a silicon atom. Refer to a modern periodic table. Atomic number
corresponds to the element aluminum.
Also, the mass number of the daughter nucleus is 28. Since the mass number would stay the same in a beta decay, the mass number of the parent nucleus would also be 28. In other words, it takes an aluminum-28 atom to undergo beta-decay to produce a silicon-28 atom.
