Terbium-147 undergoes positron emission to become a stable atom. What is that stable atom?

Chemistry
1 answer:
ivanzaharov [21]3 years ago
7 0

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

60 grams of ice will require _____ calories to raise the temperature 1°C.
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

60 grams of ice will require 30.26 calories to raise the temperature 1°C.

Explanation:

The amount of heat (Q) to raise the temperature of 60.0 g of ice by 1°C can be calculated from:

<em>Q = m.c.ΔT,</em>

where, Q is the amount of heat released or absorbed by the system.

m is the mass of the ice (m = 60.0 g).

c is the specific heat capacity of ice (c = 2.108 J/g.°C).

ΔT is the temperature difference (ΔT = 1.0 °C).

∴ Q = m.c.ΔT = (60.0 g)(2.108 J/g.°C)(1.0 °C) = 126.48 J.

<em>It is known that 1.0 cal = 4.18 J.</em>

<em>∴ Q = (126.48 J)(1.0 cal / 4.18 J) = 30.26 cal.</em>

Briefly describe four ways that a beam can be strengthened?​
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

1. Changing Beam Material

2. Corrugation

3. Changing Beam form

4. Steel Reinforcing Bars

Explanation:

Changing Beam Material

Some materials are stronger when used in beams than others. Beams made of steel for instance are stronger than beams made of wood. Therefore changing material can improve the strength of the beam. It is quite important to take into account the weights of the material though as different structures have different requirements.

Corrugation.

You can fold the beam into triangular shapes to increase strength. If you look at roofs you will notice that they are folded and this increased their strength. The same logic can be applied to beams.

Changing Beam Form

Another way to make Beams stronger is to change their form or rather their shape. Straight beams are not as strong as I-beams for instance. I-beams look like the capital letter I with the lines at both ends. I-beams are usually used in construction which shows that they are quite strong.

Steel Reinforcing Bars

When placed in concrete beams, Steel Reinforcing Bars which are also called Rebar can help strengthen a beam by helping it withstand the forces of tension. A concrete beam with Rebar inside it is known as Reinforced Concrete.
