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.

Describe what you know about this chemical formula: 4CO2
Setler79 [48]

Answer:i hope im not too late

Explanation:

4CO2 also known as 4CO2 is a chemical compound occurring as an acidic colorless gas with a density about 53% higher than that of dry air. Carbon dioxide molecules consist of a carbon atom covalently double bonded to two oxygen atoms. It occurs naturally in Earth's atmosphere as a trace gas. It also helps trap earths heat inside the earth so i doesnt escape back to outer space.

Which of the following is not true? a. The freezing point of sea water is lower than the freezing point of pure water. b. The bo
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The false statement is b.

The boiling point of a water sample from the Salt Lake is lower than the boiling point of pure water

Explanation:

This excersise refers to colligative properties.

Boiling point refers to the property of boiling point elevation. In a solution of ions, as water sea or water from lakes, the boiling point will be higher than water pure.

It is logical to say that, because these sort of water have ions. Remember that colligative properties depends on the solute particles.

T° boiling solution - T° pure solvent = Kb . m . i

In the freezing point depression, we have the oppossite of boiling point elevation. Freezing point of solution is lower than pure solvent, according to this:

T° freezing pure solvent - T° freezing solution = Kc . m . i

We have to always consider the i, which means Van't Hoff factor, number of ions dissolved in solution. As the i is higher, the freezing point of solution will be lower, and the boiling point of solution will be higher.

They are true statement a and c.

In solution of., [NaCl] = 0.1M, as it is a higher concentration, the molality is also higher than a solution of [NaCl] = 0.05.

As water sample form Salt Lake has certain ions, it is logical to say that the boiling point of this water is higher than boiling point of pure water.

What is the connection of ascorbic acid when one tablet is dissolved in 200cm cubed of water ?
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

              Option-D: 2.3 × 10⁻³ mol/dm³

Explanation:

Calculate moles of ascorbic acid,

Moles = Mass / M.Mass

Moles = 0.080 g / 176 g/mol

Moles = 0.00045 mole

Also,

Molarity = Moles / Vol. in dm³

Molarity = 0.00045 mol / 0.20 dm³

Molarity = 0.00227 mol.dm⁻¹ or 2.3 × 10⁻³ mol/dm³
