In this decay process, beta particle is emitted. The emitted particle carries a charge of -1 units and has a mass of 0 units. The released beta particle is also known as electron.

The general equation for the beta decay process follows:

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

The chemical equation for the beta decay of an isotope that produces Sr-87 isotope follows:

$_{37}^{87}\textrm{Rb}\rightarrow _{38}^{87}\textrm{Sr}+_{-1}^0\beta$

The isotope that undergoes beta decay to form Strontium-87 isotope is Rubidium-87

Hence, the other isotope is $_{37}^{87}\textrm{Rb}$

if 6.02 x 10 23 molecules of N2 react according to the equation N2 +3h2 2NH3, the total number of molecules of NH3 is produced i

Scorpion4ik [409]

N2+3H2---->2NH3
6.02×10 23 equals to one mole. if one mole of N2 enters reaction 2NH3 isproduced , so 2×6.02 10 23
12.04 × 10 23
