Answer:

A beta particle

Explanation:

The radioactive particle must undergo a beta decay to have the mass number unchanged but the atomic number to have decreased by one.

This type of beta decay results in the emission of a positron which is a type of beta particle. It resembles an electron but it has a positive charge of 1.

What is the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution with a pH 5? *
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

In the same way, a solution with a pH of 5 contains 10-5mol/l of hydrogen ions, a solution with a pH of 6 contains 10-6mol/l of hydrogen ions, while the solution with a pH of 7 contains 10-7mol/l of hydrogen ions.

Students find the pH of Substance A to be 2.1 and Substance B to be 4.4. They are told Substance C is less acidic than Substance
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

the range should be 2.2 to 4.3

Explanation:

I think so because the numbers at the left side of the scale from 1 are more acidic so as it increases it's still acidic but lesser so 1 is more acidic than 2 so I used 2.2 as the beginning of the range because it's less acidic than A even though its a greater number and 4.3 is lesser than 4.4 but its still greater on the scale. frankly speaking I don't feel so correct because it's in decimal so try and compare facts thank you

Calculate the percent yield when 500 grams of carbon dioxide react with an excess of water to produce 640 grams of carbonic acid
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Percent yield =  90.5%

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of carbon dioxide = 500 g

Mass of water = excess

Actual yield of carbonic acid = 640 g

Percent yield = ?

Solution:

Balanced chemical equation:

CO₂ + H₂O  → H₂CO₃

Number of moles of carbon dioxide

Number of moles  = Mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 500 g/ 44 g/mol

Number of moles = 11.4 mol

Now we will compare the moles of H₂CO₃ with CO₂.

                              CO₂          :              H₂CO₃

                                 1             :                  1

                               11.4           :                11.4

Mass of carbonic acid:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 11.4 mol × 62.03 g/mol

Mass = 707.14 g

Percent yield:

Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield × 100

Percent yield =  640 g/ 707.14 g × 100

Percent yield =  90.5%

Consider four different samples: aqueous LiBr , molten LiBr , aqueous AgBr , and molten AgBr . Current run through each sample p
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

a) Aqueous LiBr = Hydrogen Gas

b) Aqueous AgBr = solid Ag

c) Molten LiBr = solid Li

c) Molten AgBr = Solid Ag

Explanation:

a) Aqueous LiBr

This sample produces Hydrogen gas, because the H+ (conteined in the water) has a reduction potential higher than the Li+ from the salt. Therefore the hydrogen cation will reduce instead of the lithium one and form the gas.

b) Aqueous AgBr

This sample produces Solid Ag, because the Ag+ has a reduction potential higher than the H+ from the water. Therefore the silver cation will reduce instead of the hydrogen one and form the solid.

c) Molten LiBr

In a molten binary salt like LiBr there is only one cation present in the cathod. In this case the Li+, so it will reduce and form solid Li.  

c) Molten AgBr

The same as the item above: there is only one cation present in the cathod. In this case the Ag+, so it will reduce and form solid Ag.

The energy of a photon is ________ proportional to its wavelength. The energy of a photon is ________ proportional to its freque
topjm [15]

Answer: Inversely  ,   Directly

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is inversely proportional to its wavelength and directly proportional to its frequency.

As can be seen from this equation;

E = hv  = h c / ∧

Where E = Energy of a photon

           v = Frequency

           h = Planck Constant

           c = speed of light

           ∧  = Wave length
