Answer:

33/16 S

Explanation:

In beta decay, the atomic number of the daughter nucleus increases by one unit while the mass of the daughter nucleus remains the same as that of the parent nucleus.

Hence, if we know that a beta decay has occurred, then the parent nucleus must have the same mass as its daughter nucleus but have an atomic number that is less than that of the daughter nucleus by only one unit, hence the answer above.

What is the fraction of the hydrogen atom's mass (11h) that is in the nucleus? the mass of proton is 1.007276 u, and the mass of

ololo11 [35]

Hello there!

To determine the fraction of the hydrogen atom's mass that is in the nucleus, we have to keep in mind that a Hydrogen atom has 1 proton and 1 electron. Protons are in the nucleus while electrons are in electron shells surrounding the nucleus. The mass of the nucleus will be equal to the mass of 1 proton and we can express the fraction as follows:

$Mass Fraction= \frac{mass 1 Proton}{mass H atom} = \frac{1,007276 u}{1,007825}=0,9995$

So, the fraction of the hydrogen atom's mass that is in the nucleus is 0,9995. That means that almost all the mass of this atom is at the nucleus.

Have a nice day!

3. What mass of copper could be deposited from a copper(II) Sulphate solution using a current of 5.0 A over 100 seconds? ( F =96

arsen [322]

Mass of copper : 0.165 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

5.0 A over 100 seconds

Required

Mass of copper

Solution

Faraday's law:

<em>The mass of the substance formed at each electrode is proportional to the electric current flowing in the electrolysis</em>

<em /> $\tt W=\dfrac{e.i.t}{96500}$ <em />

e = Ar / valence = eqivalent weight

i = current

t = time

W = weight

CuSO₄ ----> Cu²⁺ + SO₄²⁻

Cu ----> Cu²⁺ + 2e

e = Ar/2

= 63,5/2 = 31,75

$\tt W=\dfrac{31.75\times 5\times 100}{96500}=0.165~g$

Hey!<br> I need a simple connotation of how glowsticks glow.<br> Please and thank you.

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

simple

Explanation:

The glow stick's outer plastic tube holds a solution of an oxalate ester and an electron-rich dye along with a glass vial filled with a hydrogen peroxide solution. ... Glow sticks light up when oxalate esters react with hydrogen peroxide to form a high-energy intermediate

The liquid form of matter is usually more dense than its: solid form gas form both solid and gas forms

Julli [10]

<span>The liquid form of matter is usually more dense than its gas form. This is because liquid molecules are closer together compared to gas molecules. An exception, however, is water. Water's solid form or ice is less dense than its liquid form because of the orientation of hydrogen bonds that lowers its density.</span>

Elements in group 1 will (lose or gain) electrons to obtain a noble gas structure. How many electrons will the element gain or l

Whitepunk [10]

Answer is: elements in group 1 will lose electrons to obtain a noble gas structure. They will lose 1 electron.
For example ₃Li 1s²2s¹ will lose one electron from 2s oribtal to obtain helium structure ₂He 1s².
Or sodium ₁₁Na 1s²2s²2p⁶3s¹ will also lose one electron to obtain neon structure ₁₀Ne 1s²2s²2p⁶.
