Aleks [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

⁴⁰₂₀Ca + ⁰₋₁e

Explanation:

Beta decay:

Beta radiations are result from the beta decay in which electron is ejected. The neutron inside of the nucleus converted into the proton an thus emit the electron which is called β particle.

Properties of beta radiations:

The mass of beta particle is smaller than the alpha particles.

They can travel in air in few meter distance.

These radiations can penetrate into the human skin.

The sheet of aluminium is used to block the beta radiation

⁴⁰₁₉K → ⁴⁰₂₀Ca + ⁰₋₁e

The beta radiations are emitted in this reaction. The one electron is ejected and neutron is converted into proton.

How many moles are in 128.9 grams of Cr2(SO3)2?
Dominik [7]

Answer: 0.5 moles

Explanation:

Cr2(SO3)2 is the chemical formula for chromium sulphate.

Given that,

Amount of moles of Cr2(SO3)2 (n) = ?

Mass of Cr2(SO3)2 in grams = 128.9g

For molar mass of Cr2(SO3)2, use the atomic masses:

Chromium, Cr = 52g;

Sulphur, S = 32g;

Oxygen, O = 16g

Cr2(SO3)2 =

(52g x 2) + [(32g + 16g x 3) x 2]

= 104g + [(32g + 48g) x 2]

= 104g + [80g x 2]

= 104g + 160g

= 264g/mol

Since, n = mass in grams / molar mass

n = 128.9g / 264g/mol

n = 0.488 mole [Round the value of n to the nearest tenth which is 0.5

Thus, there are 0.5 moles in 128.9 grams of Cr2(SO3)2

10. A 2.36-gram sample of NaHCO3 was completely decomposed in an
Airida [17]

Answer:

0.79 g

Explanation:

Let's introduce a strategy needed to solve any similar problem like this:

  • Apply the mass conservation law (assuming that this reaction goes 100 % to completion): the total mass of the reactants should be equal to the total mass of the products.

Based on the mass conservation law, we need to identify the reactants first. Our only reactant is sodium bicarbonate, so the total mass of the reactants is:

m_r=m_{NaHCO_3}=2.36 g

We have two products formed, sodium carbonate and carbonic acid. This implies that the total mass of the products is:

m_p=m_{Na_2CO_3}+m_{H_2CO_3}

Apply the law of mass conservation:

m_r=m_p

Substitute the given variables:

m_{NaHCO_3}=m_{Na_2CO_3}+m_{H_2CO_3}

Rearrange for the mass of carbonic acid:

m_{H_2CO_3}=m_{NaHCO_3}-m_{Na_2CO_3}=2.36 g - 1.57 g=0.79 g

How many phases are in a homogeneous mixture??
Mars2501 [29]
Technically there is only one phase unless you account for a solution where you have a pure liquid with something dissolved in it. Unless you count aqueous as a phase which is just dissolved. Since you are in high school the answer you are looking for is one.  <span />
