K-40 is a radioactive isotope of potassium that undergoes beta decay. What is the product of this decay

Chemistry
1 answer:
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.

irina [24]

If two different elements combine separately with a fixed mass of a third element, the ratio of the masses in which they do so are either the same as or a simple multiple of the ratio of the masses in which they combine with each other.

The relationship between moles and volume, when pressure and temperature of a gas are held constant, is: V/n =
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

If the moles of gas are tripled, the volume must also triple.

Explanation:

According to Avogadro law,

Equal volume of all the gases at same temperature and pressure have equal number of molecules.

The number of moles and volume are directly related to each other. By increasing the number of moles volume also goes to increase with same ratio.

When number of moles decreases the volume also goes to decrease at constant temperature and pressure.

Mathematical expression:

V ∝ n

V = Kn

V/n = k

When volume is changed from V₁ to V₂ by changing the number of moles from n₁ to n₂. Then expression will be,

V₁/n₁ = V₂/n₂

How many mL of 2M stock solution would I use to prepare 0.500 L of 0.1 M NaCl?
nordsb [41]

Answer:

25 mL

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Concentration of the concentrated solution (C₁): 2 M
  • Volume of the concentrated solution (V₁): ?
  • Concentration of the diluted solution (C₂): 0.1 M
  • Volume of the diluted solution (V₂): 0.500 L

Step 2: Calculate the volume of the concentrated NaCl solution

We will use the dilution rule.

C₁ × V₁ = C₂ × V₂

V₁ = C₂ × V₂ / C₁

V₁ = 0.1 M × 0.500 L / 2 M

V₁ = 0.025 L = 25 mL

Ok so the gravitational force the moon exerts on earth is very small. The ocean, however, is affected by it. How gravity works (in a simplistic sense) is that, when you are closer to something, the force is stronger. So, when the moon is close to Earth (at Perigee) the force of gravity is stronger. So the moon pulls the water more towards itself. This results in higher waves occurring when the moon is closer (at perigee) than at apogee.
