Answer:

C. A neutron turns into a proton

D. An electron is ejected from the nucleus

Explanation:

Beta decay is a type of the three major types of decays, others being alpha decay and gamma decay.
During a beta decay the atomic number of an atom increases by one while the mass number remains the same.
Beta decay may be classified as; an electron emission, positron emission and electron capture.
During electron emission an energetic electron is emitted from the nucleus, together with an antineutrino and a neutron in the nucleus turns into a proton.

Who is Gregor Mendeſ, and what did he discover about traits?

shtirl [24]

Answer:

Gregor Mendel, through his work on pea plants, discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance. He deduced that genes come in pairs and are inherited as distinct units, one from each parent. Mendel tracked the segregation of parental genes and their appearance in the offspring as dominant or recessive traits.

Through his careful breeding of garden peas, Gregor Mendel discovered the basic principles of heredity and laid the mathematical foundation of the science of genetics.

A particular reaction, A- products, has a rate that slows down as the reaction proceeds. The half-life of the reaction is found

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Explanation:

Half life of zero order and second order depends on the initial concentration. But as the given reaction slows down as the reaction proceeds, therefore, it must be second order reaction. This is because rate of reaction does not depend upon the initial concentration of the reactant.

a. As it is a second order reaction, therefore, doubling reactant concentration, will increase the rate of reaction 4 times. Therefore, the statement a is wrong.

b. Expression for second order reaction is as follows:

$\frac{1}{[A]} =\frac{1}{[A]_0} +kt$

the above equation can be written in the form of Y = mx + C

so, the plot between 1/[A] and t is linear. So the statement b is true.

Expression for half life is as follows:

$t_{1/2}=\frac{1}{k[A]_0}$

As half-life is inversely proportional to initial concentration, therefore, increase in concentration will decrease the half life. Therefore statement c is wrong.

Plot between A and t is exponential, therefore there is no constant slope. Therefore, the statement d is wrong

A 5.00 L sample of air at 0 C is warmed to 100.0 C. What is the new volume of the air? First, identify V1.

Paladinen [302]

Answer : The new volume of the air is, 6.83 L

Explanation :

Charles' Law : It states that volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

$\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}$

where,

$V_1\text{ and }T_1$ are the initial volume and temperature of the gas.

$V_2\text{ and }T_2$ are the final volume and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

$V_1=5.00L\\T_1=0^oC=(0+273)K=273K\\V_2=?\\T_2=100^oC=(100+273)K=373K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{5.00L}{273K}=\frac{V_2}{373K}\\\\V_2=6.83L$

Therefore, the new volume of the air is, 6.83 L

What is the mass of the solid NH4Cl formed when 75.5 g of NH3 is mixed with an equal mass of HCl? What is the volume of the gas

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer : The volume of the gas remaining is 56.5 liters.

The gas is hydrochloric acid and the formula of the gas is HCl.

The mass of $NH_4Cl$ produced is, 110.7 grams.

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

$NH_3+HCl\rightarrow NH_4Cl$

First we have to calculate the moles of $NH_3$ and HCl

$\text{Moles of }NH_3=\frac{\text{Mass of }NH_3}{\text{Molar mass of }NH_3}$

Molar mass of NH_3 = 17 g/mole

$\text{Moles of }NH_3=\frac{75.5g}{17g/mole}=4.44mole$

and,

$\text{Moles of }HCl=\frac{\text{Mass of }HCl}{\text{Molar mass of }HCl}$

Molar mass of HCl = 36.5 g/mole

$\text{Moles of }HCl=\frac{75.5g}{36.5g/mole}=2.07mole$

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of HCl react with 1 mole of $NH_3$

So, 2.07 mole of HCl react with 2.07 mole of $NH_3$

From this we conclude that, $NH_3$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and HCl is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

The remaining moles of HCl gas = 4.44 - 2.07 = 2.37 moles

Now we have to calculate the volume of the gas remaining.

Using ideal gas equation :

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of gas = 752 mmHg = 0.989 atm (1 atm = 760 mmHg)

V = Volume of gas = ?

n = number of moles of gas = 2.37 moles

R = Gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

T = Temperature of gas = $14.0^oC=273+14.0=287K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.989atm\times V=2.37mole\times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times 287K$

V = 56.5 L

Now we have to calculate the moles of $NH_4Cl$

As, 1 mole of HCl react with 1 mole of $NH_4Cl$

So, 2.07 mole of HCl react with 2.07 mole of $NH_4Cl$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $NH_4Cl$

$\text{ Mass of }NH_4Cl=\text{ Moles of }NH_4Cl\times \text{ Molar mass of }NH_4Cl$

Molar mass of $NH_4Cl$ = 53.5 g/mole

$\text{ Mass of }NH_4Cl=(2.07moles)\times (53.5g/mole)=110.7g$

Thus, the volume of the gas remaining is 56.5 liters.

The gas is hydrochloric acid and the formula of the gas is HCl.

The mass of $NH_4Cl$ produced is, 110.7 grams.
