We have to get the stable atom formed after positron emission from Terbium-147.

The stable atom is (D) ₆₄Gd¹⁴⁷.

Positron is radioactive decay. Positron is a type of beta particle β⁺.

Positron emission decreases proton number relative to neutron number, positron decay results in nuclear transmutation, changing an atom of one chemical element with an atomic number that is less by one.

Terbium on positron emission produces Gadolinium with one atomic number less than Terbium. So, the positron emission reaction is as shown below:

Tb¹⁴⁷→ ₆₄Gd¹⁴⁷ + ₁e⁰

Which is the correctly balanced chemical equation for the reaction of KOH and H2SO4? Upper K upper O upper H right arrow upper H

sertanlavr [38]

Answer :

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$H_2SO_4+2KOH\rightarrow K_2SO_4+2H_2O$

Explanation :

Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.

If the amount of atoms of each type on the left and right sides of a reaction differs then to balance the equation by adding coefficient in the front of the elements or molecule or compound in the chemical equation.

The coefficient tell us about that how many molecules or atoms present in the chemical equation.

When sulfuric acid react with potassium hydroxide then it react to give potassium sulfate and water as a product. This reaction is known as acid-base reaction.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$H_2SO_4+2KOH\rightarrow K_2SO_4+2H_2O$

A scientist wants to predict the effect of rise of global air temperature on sea level around the world which method a controlle

Verizon [17]

A scientific model is a simplified version of some phenomenon that takes place in natural systems. A scientific model can be visual (flow charts), graphical, conceptual, or mathematical. These models are used to make predictions about how a set of conditions would change the present scenario in future. Scientific models can explain how the ongoing changes in the environment can show long term affect on our planet like the climate change. Therefore, a scientific model can be used to explain the phenomena like the effect of global air temperatures on the mean sea level around the world.
