Answer: The correct option is C.

Explanation: Beta minus ( $\beta ^-$ ) decay is the decay in which a neutron is converted into proton and releases beta particle or generally known as electron.

There is an increase in the Atomic number because one protons is being formed.

In the case of beta-minus decay of phosphorous, the P-nucleus gets changed to Sulfur nucleus. The balanced Chemical equation for this process is:

$^{32}_{15}\textrm{P}\rightarrow ^{32}_{16}\textrm{S}+^0_{-1}\beta$

Hence, the correct option is C.

Answer : Option C) $P^{32}_{15} ---> S^{32}_{16} +e^ {0}_{-1}$

Explanation : The balanced equation for the beta minus decay for emission of Phosphorus-32 is $P^{32}_{15} ---> S^{32}_{16} +e^ {0}_{-1}$

Where, it is clearly seen that in the beta minus emission a neutron decays into a proton, an electron, and an anti-neutrino.

So, in the phosphorus-32 beta minus decay the product is sulfur-32 along with an electron created from the anti-neutrino.

Therefore, option C is the correct option.

Which statement is a valid conclusion about the activation energy of the reverse reaction if the forward reaction is exothermic?

babunello [35]

Answer:

e) The activation energy of the reverse reaction is greater than that of the forward reaction.

Explanation:

Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that is required by the reactants to start a reaction.
An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases heat energy to the surrounding while an endothermic reactions is a reaction that absorbs heat from the surrounding.
In reversible reactions, when the forward reaction is exothermic it means the reverse reaction will be endothermic, therefore the reverse reaction will have a higher activation energy than the forward reaction. The activation energy of the reverse reaction will be the sum of the enthalpy and the activation energy of the forward reaction.

Leni [432]

Answer: $(27.81,\ 29.39)$

Explanation:

Given : Sample size : n= 30 , it means it is a large sample (n≥ 30), so we use z-test .

Significance level : $\alpha: 1-0.95=0.05$

Critical value: $z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$

Sample mean : $\overline{x}=28.6$

Standard deviation : $\sigma=2.2$

The formula to find the confidence interval is given by :-

$\overline{x}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

i.e. $28.6\pm (1.96)\dfrac{2.2}{\sqrt{30}}$

i.e. $28.6\pm 0.787259889321$

$\approx28.6\pm 0.79=(28.6-0.79,28.6+0.79)=(27.81,\ 29.39)$

Hence, the 95% confidence interval for the mean mpg in the entire population of that car model = $(27.81,\ 29.39)$

The reaction is first order in cyclopropane and has a measured rate constant of k=3.36×10−5 s−1 at 720 k. if the initial cyclopr

sergey [27]

Answer:

0.0277 M.

Explanation:

The integral rate law of a first order reaction:

Kt = ln ([A₀]/[A]),

where, k is the rate constant of the reaction (k = 3.36 × 10⁻⁵ s⁻¹),

t is the time of the reaction (t = 235.0 min = 14100 s),

[A₀] is the initial concentration of cyclopropane ([A₀] = 0.0445 M)

∵ Kt = ln ([A₀]/[A]),

∴ (3.36 × 10⁻⁵ s⁻¹)(14100 s) = ln (0.0445 M)/[A]

Taking the exponential of both sides:

1.6 = (0.0445 M)/[A]

∴ [A] = (0.0445 M)/1.6 = 0.0277 M.

In an endothermic reaction what is true of the enthalpy

charle [14.2K]

Answer is: a) is has increased.

There are two types of reaction:

1) endothermic reaction (chemical reaction that absorbs more energy than it releases).

For example, the breakdown of ozone is an endothermic process. Ozone has lower energy than molecular oxygen (O₂) and oxygen atom, so ozone need energy to break bond between oxygen atoms.

2) exothermic reaction (chemical reaction that releases more energy than it absorbs).

For example, ΔH(reaction) = -225 kJ/mol; this is exothermic reaction.
