Electron capture occurs when one of the electrons in the atom is captured by the atom's nucleus. The captured electron combines with one proton to form a neutron.
We have to find the nuclide that is produced when the aluminum-28 undergoes an electron capture.
If we look for the atomic number of Al in the periodic table we will see that it is 13. That means that it has 13 protons. Then we are given the atomic mass of aluminum, it is 28. That means that if we add the number of protons and the number of neutrons we get 28.
atomic mass = n° of protons + n° of neutrons = 13 + 15 = 28
atomic number = n° of protons = 13
The nucleus of the aluminum atom will capture one electron that will combine with a proton of the nucleus to form a neutron. So the atomic number will change because it will have 1 proton less. But the atomic mass won't change because we are losing one proton but winning a neutron, so it remains the same. After the electron capture, the new nuclide will have:
atomic mass nuclide = n° of protons + n° of neutrons = 12 + 16 = 28
atomic number nuclide = n° of protons = 12
If we look for the element that has an atomic number of 12 in the periodic table we will see that it is magnesium.
Finally we can express this like a reaction:
28 0 28
Al + e --------> Mg
13 -1 12
Answer:
28
Mg
12
Answer:
33.5 g/mol
Explanation:
PV=nRT
(1.40 atm)(8.00 L)=n(0.08206)(295 K)
n=0.463 mol
15.50 g/0.463 mol=33.5 g/mol
Answer:
a. Yes, it is flammable.
b. It can cause hazard and carcinogenic effect.
Explanation:
A. Yes, the vapor in the vessel is flammable because it is an organic solvent with a very low boiling point. For this reason, less energy can vaporize it. Therfore, a little high temperature or energy causes it to be very reactive and flammable.
B. - Being flammable makes it hazardous, that is, it is capable of being ignited and can burn easily, which makes it really dangerous.
- It results in carcinogenic effect on the body. Substances that cause carcinogenic effect are capable of increasing the risk of cancer. They might contain compounds that can initiate tumor.
When the temperature is high, the risk of explosion increases. Due to the fact that at higher temperature, the kinetic energy of the atoms which result in an increase in the volume and finally blasting of the vessel.
The number of sandwiches that can made with 6 pieces of bread and 4 slices of cheese is 3 sandwiches.
<h3>What are limiting reactants?</h3>
Limiting reactants are those reactants which determine the amount of product that can be formed since they get used up in a reaction.
In the making of sandwiches from bread and cheese, the limiting reactant is the material that is used up.
The formula for making a sandwich is given below;
2 pieces of bread + 1 slice of cheese = 1 sandwich
6 pieces of bread can make 3 sandwiches
4 slices of cheese can make 4 sandwiches
Thus, bread is the limiting reactant.
Therefore, the number of sandwiches that can made with 6 pieces of bread and 4 slices of cheese is 3 sandwiches.

Hey there!
2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl
This is a balanced chemical equation.
There are 2 atoms of sodium (Na) on the left, and 2 atoms of sodium (Na) on the right.
There are 2 atoms of chlorine (Cl) on the left, and 2 atoms of chlorine (Cl) on the right.
This means the equation is balanced since there are the same amount of each element on both sides.
Hope this helps!
