The type of nuclear decay an unstable nucleus will undergo depends on its ratio of neutrons to protons. The radioisotope cobalt-

65 has a ratio of neutrons to protons of 1.41, which is too high for a nucleus of this size. What nuclear changes could reduce this ratio? a. an increase in the number of protons b. removing electrons from the valence shellc. conversion of one or more protons to electrons d. a decrease in atomic number e. conversion of one or more neutrons to protons

Answer:

E

Explanation:

Beta decay refers to the conversion of a neutron to a proton, an electron and a neutrino. The conversion of a neutron to an proton reduces the N/P ratio. More protons implies a lesser ratio.

Answer:

a. an increase in the number of protons

c. conversion of one or more protons to electrons

d. a decrease in atomic number

e. conversion of one or more neutrons to protons

Explanation:

a. an increase in the number of protons will affect the ratio which relies on number of protons

b. removing electrons from the valence shell will not affect the ratio because electrons do not form part of the ratio

c. conversion of one or more protons to electrons will affect the ratio which relies on number of protons

d. a decrease in atomic number will will affect the ratio which relies on number of protons, which is another name for atomic number.

e. conversion of one or more neutrons to protons will affect the ratio which relies on number of protons

Answer:

C. 500 cm' of 1.0 mol dmº magnesium sulphate solution.

Explanation:

Let us look at each of the solutions individually;

CaCl2  has three particles

K2SO4 has three particles

MgSO4 has two particles

C2H5OH has only one particle

The number of moles of moles in 250 cm of 2.0 mol dm-3 potassium chloride is 250/1000 * 2 = 0.5 moles having two particles

Also; number of moles in 500 cm' of 1.0 mol dm-3 magnesium sulphate solution= 500/1000 * 1 = 0.5 moles having two particles

The compound tyrosine contains 59.66% C, 6.12% H, 7.73% N, and 26.49% O by mass. What is the empirical formula of tyrosine?
ycow [4]

Answer: C9H11O3N

Explanation:

The percentage by mass of each element is divided by its relative atomic mass. The lowest ratio is now observed. Each ratio is now divided by this lowest ratio and approximated to whole numbers. All these are shown in detail in the image attached.
