Take zinc-73 through beta decay ; write a complete equation

Chemistry

Amiraneli [1.4K]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:Naturally occurring zinc (30Zn) is composed of the 5 stable isotopes 64Zn, 66Zn, 67Zn, 68Zn, and 70Zn with 64Zn being the most abundant (48.6% natural abundance). Twenty-five radioisotopes have been characterised with the most abundant and stable being 65Zn with a half-life of 244.26 days, and 72Zn with a half-life of 46.5 hours. All of the remaining radioactive isotopes have half-lives that are less than 14 hours and the majority of these have half-lives that are less than 1 second. This element also has 10 meta states.

Zinc has been proposed as a "salting" material for nuclear weapons. A jacket of isotopically enriched 64Zn, irradiated by the intense high-energy neutron flux from an exploding thermonuclear weapon, would transmute into the radioactive isotope 65Zn with a half-life of 244 days and produce approximately 1.115 MeV[2] of gamma radiation, significantly increasing the radioactivity of the weapon's fallout for several years. Such a weapon is not known to have ever been built, tested, or used.[3]

stira [4]

Answer:

First of all, it's KNO₃ not KNO.

Second, KNO₃ is neither an acid nor it is a base, infact, it is a salt and therefore it's neutral.

Heating up a reaction increases the speed of a reaction until the ____
Vesnalui [34]

Heating up a reaction increases the speed of a reaction until the enzyme denatures.

<h3>What is enzyme denaturation?</h3>

Enzyme denaturation occurs when a biological protein catalyst does not work anymore due to a high temperature that alters its tridimensional conformation.

This cellular process (denaturation) is well known to be one of the main causes of enzymatic failure.

In conclusion, heating up a reaction increases the speed of a reaction until the enzyme denatures.

Which theory describes the motion of and force driving earth’s plates?
swat32

The theory that describes the motion and force driving earth's plates is Plate tectonics

Explanation:

Plate tectonics states that the outer shell of the Earth is divided into plates that glide and move over the mantle which is the surface of the earth.

The mantle is the rocky inner layer above the core of the Earth.

Plate tectonics helped the geologists to explain how continents could move around the planet.

There are 9 major plate tectonics , namely North American, Pacific, Eurasian, Australian, African, Indo - Australian,Indian South American and Antarctic. These plates have been named after the land form found on them.
