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

Chemistry
1 answer:
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]

Which statement is true about the compound ammonium sulfate [(NH4)2SO4] ?
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

It is a salt of two polyatomic ammonium ions and one polyatomic sulfate ion

Explanation:

Ammonium Sulfate is an ionic compound formed by two polyatomic ions, Ammonium NH+4 and Sulfate SO−4 . ... Therefore, it will take two +1 ammonium ions to balance the one -2 sulfate ion. This will make the formula for Ammonium Sulfate (NH4)2SO4

Calculate the unit cell edge length for an 85 wt% fe-15 wt% v alloy. All of the vanadium is in solid solution, and, at room temp
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer is 0.289nm.

Explanation: The wt % of Fe and wt % of V is given for a Fe-V alloy.

wt % of Fe in Fe-V alloy = 85%

wt % of V in Fe-V alloy = 15%

We need to calculate edge length of the unit cell having bcc structure.

Using density formula,

\rho_{ave}=\frac{Z\times M_{ave}}{a^3\times N_A}

For calculating edge length,

a=(\frac{Z\times M_{ave}}{\rho_{ave}\times N_A})^{1/3}

For calculating M_{ave}, we use the formula

M_{ave}= \frac{100}{\frac{(wt\%)_{Fe}}{M_{Fe}}+\frac{(wt\%)_{V}}{M_V}}

Similarly for calculating (\rho)_{ave}, we use the formula

\rho_{ave}= \frac{100}{\frac{(wt\%)_{Fe}}{\rho_{Fe}}+\frac{(wt\%)_{V}}{\rho_V}}

From the periodic table, masses of the two elements can be written

M_{Fe}= 55.85g/mol

M_{V}=50.941g/mol

Specific density of both the elements are

(\rho)_{Fe}=7.874g/cm^3\\(\rho)_{V}=6.10g/cm^3

Putting  M_{ave} and \rho_{ave} formula's in edge length formula, we get

a=\left [\frac{Z\left (\frac{100}{\frac{(wt\%)_{Fe}}{M_{Fe}}+\frac{(wt\%)_{Fe}}{M_{Fe}}}  \right )}{N_A\left (\frac{100}{\frac{(wt\%)_V}{\rho_V}+\frac{(wt\%)_V}{\rho_V}}  \right )}  \right ]^{1/3}

a=\left [\frac{2atoms/\text{unit cell}\left (\frac{100}{\frac{85\%}{55.85g/mol}+\frac{15\%}{50.941g/mol}}  \right )}{(6.023\times10^{23}atoms/mol)\left (\frac{100}{\frac{85\%}{7.874g/cm^3}+\frac{15\%}{6.10g/cm^3}}  \right )}  \right ]^{1/3}

By calculating, we get

a=2.89\times10^{-8}cm=0.289nm
