How are beta particles similar to alpha particles?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Irina-Kira [14]3 years ago
5 0
Alpha particles consist of a clump of two neutrons and two protons. Beta particles are single electrons (or positrons, e+). Both kinds of particles are emitted from atomic nuclei. Alpha particles change the atom into one with a lower atomic number by ejecting protons. Beta particles change a neutron into a proton, raising the atomic number if an electron is emitted; and change a proton into a neutron, lowering the atomic number if a positron is emitted.

Hope this helps!

A 52.0-mL volume of 0.35 M CH3COOH (Ka=1.8×10−5) is titrated with 0.40 M NaOH. Calculate the pH after the addition of 23.0 mL of
Rus_ich [418]
<span> 52.0ml of 0.35M CH3COOH : 0.052 L(0.35M) = .0182 mol of CH3COOH. 
</span>
<span>31.0ml of 0.40M NaOH : .031 L(0.40M) = .0124 mol of NaOH. 
</span>
<span>After the  reaction, .0124 Mol CH3COO- is generated and .058 mol CH3COOH is left un-reacted. The concentration would be 12.4/V and 5.8/V, respectively. Therefore:

 </span>
<span>pH = -log([H+]) = -log(Ka*[CH3COOH]/[CH3COO-]) </span>
<span>= -log(1.8x10^-5*5.8/12.4) = 5.07</span>

What is the molarity of the solution formed by mixing 0.20mol of sodium hydroxide with enough water to make 150 ml of solution?
bixtya [17]
Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution 
number of NaOH moles present - 0.20 mol 
volume of solution - 150 mL 
since molarity is taken as number moles of solute in 1000 mL
if 150 mL contains - 0.20 mol 
then 1000 mL should contain - 0.20 / 150 x 1000 = 1.33 mol 
therefore molarity is 1.33 M

  • Atoms that loss or gain electrons are called ions. There are two types of ions: cations and anions.
  • Here, 2+ represents that Calcium (Ca) should gain 2 more electrons so that its number equals to that of protons.
  • 3- represents that Nitrogen (N) should loss 3 electrons to equivalent with the number of protons.
  • Here, anions are S^2-, P^3-, Se^2-, Br^-.
  • While cations are Cr^3+, Ag^+, Li^+, Ba^2+.
  • The number of protons of Magnesium (Mg) = 12
  • The number of nuetrons of Mg = 12
  • The number of electrons of Mg = 12

Hope you could get an idea from here.
