The atomic mass number does<span> not change because a </span>beta<span> particle has a much smaller </span>mass<span> than the </span>atom<span>. The </span>atomic number<span> goes up because a neutron has turned into an extra proton. </span>Beta decay<span> is fundamentally different from alpha </span>decay<span>. An alpha particle is made of two protons and two neutrons.</span>
We assume that the volume of the molecules themselves in a gas sample is negligible compared to the bulk volume of the gas sample: this helps us to explain why gases are so compressible.
Answer:
The balanced equation tells us that 1 mole of Zn will produce 1 mole of H2.
1.566 g Zn x (1 mole Zn / 65.38 g Zn) = 0.02395 moles Zn
0.02395 moles Zn x (1 mole H2 / 1 mole Zn) = 0.02395 moles H2 produced
Now use the ideal gas law to find the volume V.
P = 733 mmHg x (1 atm / 760 atm) = 0.964 atm
T = 21 C + 273 = 294 K
PV = nRT
V = nRT/ P = (0.02395 moles H2)(0.0821 L atm / K mole)(294 K) / (0.964 atm) = 0.600 L
i just learnt this recently but i need to look through my notes again.
