Hi!

<u>The correct options would be: </u>

is an electron

is emitted from nucleus

has a -1 charge

Explanation:

A beta particle is a result of a neutron (a neutral particle) changing into two particles of opposite charges - a high energy electron (with a negative charge -1) and a positron (with a positive charge +1). Neutrons are present in the nucleus of an atom, and thus the beta particles are said to be emitted from the nucleus. They do have a charge, not zero, but it is not +2 and can only be either -1 or +1. This form of radiation is not electromagnetic energy because beta particles are massless, and do not travel at the speed of light (both being characteristics of electromagnetic radiation). Beta particles are not pure forms of energy.

Hope this helps.

A sample of limestone (calcium carbonate, CaCO3) is heated at 950 K until it is completely converted to calcium oxide (CaO) and

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Therefore, volume of CO₂ produced in the first step is 9141.404 L

Explanation:

Equations of reactions:

A: CaCO₃(s) ---> CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

B: CaO(l) + H₂O(l) ---> Ca(OH)₂(s)

Molar mass of CaCO₃ = 100 g; molar mass of CaO = 56 g; molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g molar mass of H₂P = 18 g; molar mass of Ca(OH)₂ = 74 g

From equation B, 1 mole of CaO produces 1 mole of Ca(OH)₂

This means that 56 g of CaO produces 74 g of Ca(OH)₂

mass of CaO that produces 8.47 kg or 8470 g of Ca(OH)₂ = 8470 g * 56/74 = 6409.73 g of CaO

Therefore, 6409.73 g of CaO were produced in reaction A

From reaction A, 1 mole of CaCO₃ produces 1 mole CaO and 1 mole of CO₂

Number of moles of CaO in 6409.73 g = 6409.73 g/56 g/mol = 114.46 moles

Therefore, 114.46 moles of CO₂ were produces as well.

Molar volume of gas at STP = 22.4 litres

Volume of CO₂ produced at STP = 114.46 * 22.4 L =2563.904 L

However, the above reaction took place at 950 K and 0.976 atm, therefore volume of CO₂ produced under these conditions are obtained using the general gas equation

Using P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

P₁ = 1.0 atm, V₁ = 2563.904 L, T₁ = 273 K, P₂ = 0.976 atm, T₂ = 950 K, V₂ = ?

V₂ = P₁V₁T₂/P₂T₁

V₂ = (1.0 * 2563.904 * 950)/(0.976 * 273)

V₂ = 9141.404 L

Therefore, volume of CO₂ produced in the first step is 9141.404 L

For the reaction 2 HCl + Ca ( OH ) 2 ⟶ CaCl 2 + 2 H 2 O how many grams of calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2, are needed to react comple

kari74 [83]

Answer: 65.38g of Ca(OH)2 is needed

Explanation:

From The equation of reaction

2 HCl + Ca ( OH ) 2 ⟶ CaCl 2 + 2 H 2 O

NB: Molar mass of HCl= 1+35.5=36.5

Ca(OH)2= 74

From The stoichiometric equation

2mol of HCl(36.5×2=73) require 1mol of Ca(OH)2 (74g)

Hence 64.5g of HCl will require 64.5×74/73= 65.38g of Ca(OH)2

which state of matter is made up of atoms and molecules that are held closely together by attractive forces between them

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

In solid state all the atoms and molecules are held very closely together by strong attractive forces.

Explanation:

Solids have definite volume and shape.

In solids molecules are tightly pack and very close to each other.

Their melting and boiling point are every high.

The densities of solids are also very high as compared to the liquid and gas.

There are very strong inter molecular forces are present between solid molecules.

Consider the example of water. Which is present in three state solid, liquid and gas. In the form of ice its volume is less as compared to the liquid and gas, because molecules are tightly packed. If we melt the same ice we observe the volume is increase because molecules are now apart from each other. The distance between the molecules of water increased. If the same amount of water is evaporated the molecule of water will occupy all available space , and the distance between the water molecules get increased and inter molecular forces becomes negligible.

What are the reasons for existence of large number of organic compounds in nature.Explain

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

because of catenation of carbon.

Explanation:

Catenation is the binding of an element to its self through covalent bonds to form chain or ring molecules. carbon is able to form continuous links with other carbon atoms which is the reason for the existence of a large number of organic compounds.

The diagram below is an artist’s impression of a single atom of element Be. The neutrons are shown with stripes, the protons are

Ahat [919]

Answer is: beryllium-10.

The diagram shows that atom has 4 protons, 5 neutrons and 2 valence electrons.

Atomic number is the number of protons, which is characteristic of a chemical element, beryllium (Be) is an element with atomic number 4.

Two valence electrons means that atom is from 2. group of periodic table, only beryllium is from that group; sodium (1. group), boron (13. group) and carbon (14. group).

Beryllium-10 has 6 neutrons, so it is isotope (different number of neutrons or mass number).
