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]

Since light waves can travel through an empty vaccum (which is what it is happening in this scenario) the sun radiates the light to us even though it takes 8 minutes to get here

also think of a lamp or a light on the ceiling as soon as you turn it on the light comes on to and if you were to put your hand on the light when it is on you will feel heat and the suns rays work the same way

Which of the following is not a theory supporting global warming?
ahrayia [7]

The correct answer is - d. Carbon dioxide is an insignificant greenhouse gas.

To say that the carbon dioxide is an insignificant greenhouse gas is not a theory that is supporting the global warming, not to mention the fact that it is the total opposite.

The carbon dioxide (CO2) is actually the gas the contributes the most to the greenhouse effect. The reason for that is that the CO2 is a gas that has the property to trap the heat, thus the heat instead going back to the space, it is actually remaining in the atmosphere. That results in warmer temperatures on a global scale, as we can witness in the past century with the increasing amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere because of the human activities.

What are the relevant equations for oxidation and reduction<br><br>​
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

There are many equations for oxidation and reduction, but the most relevant ones are the equations for the half-reactions. In general, the equation for oxidation is:

Oxidation: Reducing Agent + O2 → Oxidizing Agent

And the equation for reduction is:

Reduction: Oxidizing Agent + e- → Reducing Agent

These equations show the transfer of electrons that occurs during oxidation and reduction.
