Chemistry

Aleks [24]3 years ago

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.

decide how to supersets these substances? If if is not possible, please write "cannot be separated" on the space provided​
abruzzese [7]

Answer: (although the question does not sate whether if you separate them physically or through energy. so i did both)

1. can be separated (When high-energy ultraviolet rays strike ordinary oxygen molecules (O2), they split the molecule into two single oxygen atoms, known as atomic oxygen)

2. can be separated, but through electrolysis, fiscally moving a crane to generate electricity to separate the molecules

3. Most solid particles, composed of diamagnetic or weak paramagnetic materials, cannot be extracted by a conventional magnetic separator. physically cannot be separated. but through heat yes

4. but there is a catch: doing so requires energy. ... If energy from coal were applied to drive the decomposition reaction, more CO2 would be released than consumed, because no process is perfectly efficient. so it cant be separated physically

5. it can be separated but it needs energy physically cannot be separated.
