Write a balanced nuclear equation for the formation of 28 Si 14 from beta-minus emission.
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Phosphorus-28 undergoes beta-minus decay to produce

  • an electron,
  • a Silicon-28 nuclei, and
  • an electron antineutrino.

\rm ^{28}_{13} Al \to ^{28}_{14} Si + ^{\phantom{-}0}_{-1}e + \bar{\mathnormal{v}}_{\rm e}

Explanation:

In simple words, when a nucleus undergoes beta-minus decay, a neutron is converted to a proton. An electron and an electron antineutrino will be released.

\rm ^{1}_{0}n^{0} \to ^{1}_{1}p^{+} + ^{\phantom{-}0}_{-1}e^{-} + \bar{\mathnormal{v}}_{\rm e}.

One way to tell whether a neutron is converted to a proton, but not vice versa, is to check the sum charges on the two sides of this equation.

  • Left-hand side: 0. Neutron is neutral.
  • Right-hand side: 1 + (-1) = 0. Each proton carries a charge of +1. Each electron (beta-minus particle) carries a charge of -1. Antineutrinos are neutral.

The charges on the two sides of this equation is the same. Hence this nuclear equation is possible (but not necessarily correct; however, if the proton and the neutron are in the wrong place the charge won't even be the same.)

Since the mass number of a proton and a neutron are both 1, the overall mass number of the atom will stay the same.

The atomic number is the number of protons in each atom. That number determines the symbol and the chemical properties of the atom. When one neutron in an atom is converted to a proton, the atomic number of the atom will increase by 1.

The atomic number of the daughter nucleus, silicon, is 14. It takes a parent nucleus with atomic number 14 - 1 = 13 to produce a silicon atom. Refer to a modern periodic table. Atomic number 13 corresponds to the element aluminum.

Also, the mass number of the daughter nucleus is 28. Since the mass number would stay the same in a beta decay, the mass number of the parent nucleus would also be 28. In other words, it takes an aluminum-28 atom to undergo beta-decay to produce a silicon-28 atom.

Complete the other details (electron and electron antineutrino) to obtain the equation

\rm ^{28}_{13} Al \to ^{28}_{14} Si + ^{\phantom{-}0}_{-1}e + \bar{\mathnormal{v}}_{\rm e}.

Suppose a grill lighter contains 50.0 g of butane. How many grams of butane in the lighter would have to be burned to produce 17
Hitman42 [59]

<span>Answer is: mass of burned butane is 11.6 g.</span>

Chemical reaction: 2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ → 8CO₂ + 10H₂O.

m(butane) = 50,0 g.

<span> V(CO</span>₂) = 17,9 L.<span>
n(CO</span>₂) = V(CO₂) ÷ Vm.<span>
n(CO</span>₂) = 17,9 L ÷ 22,4 L/mol.<span>
n(CO</span>₂) = 0,8 mol.<span>
From chemical reaction n(CO</span>₂) : n(C₄H₁₀) = 8 : 2.<span>
n(C</span>₄H₁₀) = 0,8 mol ÷ 4.<span>
n(C</span>₄H₁₀) = 0,2 mol.<span>
m(C</span>₄H₁₀) = n(C₄H₁₀) · M(C₄H₁₀).<span>
m(C</span>₄H₁₀) = 0,2 mol · 58 g/mol.<span>
m(C</span>₄H₁₀) = 11,6 g.

Can someone help with this please? My teacher isnt responding to any of mine or my classmates requests for help
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

CO2 consists of individual molecules with one central carbon atom double bonded to two oxygen atoms. Silicon does not form double bonds with oxygen. CO2 is gas but SiO2 is a solid because SiO2 has a giant molecular structure. CO2 has a simple molecular structure, and because of this, CO2 is gas but SiO2 is solid at room temperature.
