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.

17) A 0.20 M solution of HCl with a volume of 15.0 mL is exactly neutralized by the 0.10 M solution of NaOH with what volume? HI
galina1969 [7]

Answer: A 0.20 M solution of HCl with a volume of 15.0 mL is exactly neutralized by the 0.10 M solution of NaOH with 3 mL volume.

Explanation:

Given: M_{1} = 0.20 M,      V_{1} = 15.0 mL

M_{2} = 0.10 M,            V_{2} = ?

Formula used is as follows.

M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}

Substitute the values into above formula s follows.

M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}\\0.20 M ]times 15.0 mL = 0.10 M ]times V_{2}\\V_{2} = 30 mL

Thus, we can conclude that a 0.20 M solution of HCl with a volume of 15.0 mL is exactly neutralized by the 0.10 M solution of NaOH with 3 mL volume.
