Chemistry

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.

The properties of compounds are (what?) to the elements that make it up. *
Lana71 [14]

Answer:A compound is a unique substance that forms when two or more elements combine chemically. A compound always has the same elements in the same proportions. The properties of compounds may be very different from the properties of the elements that form them. Some compounds form rigid frameworks called crystals.

4 Recall What holds ionic compounds<br> together?
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The opposite charges of the atoms hold the atoms together. One atom can have a positive charge while the other can have a negative charge and this causes an electrostatic attraction causing the atoms to stick to each other like glue. For example, two magnets, can only be attracted to each other when one side of the magnet has a "-" while the other magnet on one side has a "+". They are attracted to each other by these varying charges. The same applies to ionic compounds which are held together by the varying charges of the ions.

2FeCl3 + MgO -&gt; Fe2O3 + 3MgCl2<br> Convert 3.00 moles of MgO to moles of Fe2O3
nikitadnepr [17]

71.8 g of iron (III) oxide (Fe₂O₃) were produced from 3 moles of magnesium oxide (MgO).

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction:

2 FeCl₃ + 3 MgO → Fe₂O₃ + 3 MgCl₂

We see from the chemical reaction that 3 moles of magnesium oxide (MgO) will produce 1 mole of iron (III) oxide (Fe₂O₃).

number of moles = mass / molar weight

mass = number of moles × molar weight

mass of Fe₂O₃ = 1 × 71.8 = 71.8 g

Will an object with a net force of zero acting on it move? Explain why or why not
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

If the object was already moving, then it will just keep moving. So, yes, the object can be moving when there is no force applied to it. Note: "force" in this discussion is to be interpreted as net force. Net force is the vector sum of all forces acting on the object.
