Answer:
a. A beta particle has a negative charge. d. A beta particle is a high-energy electron.
Explanation:
Identify the correct descriptions of beta particles.
a. A beta particle has a negative charge. YES. A beta particle is originated in the following nuclear reaction: ¹₀n ⇒ ¹₁H + ⁰₋₁e (beta particle.)
b. A beta particle contains neutrons. NO. It is a electron originated in the nucleus.
c. A beta particle is less massive than a gamma ray. NO. Gamma rays don't have mass while a beta particle has a mass which is half of one thousandth of the mass of a proton.
d. A beta particle is a high-energy electron. YES. Beta particles are nuclear originated hig-energy electrons.
As Density = Mass/Volume
Mass = 26.0g
Density = 1.44g/mL
Therefore Volume = Mass/Density
=> Volume = 26.0/1.44 = 18.055... = 18.1mL (to 3 sig figs)
The amount ( in moles of excess reactant that is left is 0.206 moles
Explanation
FeS(s) + 2HCl (aq) → FeCl2 (s) + H2S (g)
- by use of mole ratio of FeS: HCl which is 1:2 this means that 0.223 mole of FeS reacted completely with 0.223 x 2/1 =0.446 moles 0f FeCl2.
- HCl was in excess because 0.446 moles of HCl reacted and initially there was 0.652 moles.
- Therefore the amount that was left
= 0.652- 0.446 =0.206 moles
The most loosely held electrons in an atom are called valence electrons.
