Answer:

A: high neutron proton ratio

Explanation:

Radioactive decay occurs when unstable isotopes have their nuclei broken due to atomic instability. When this occurs, the radioactive decaying atom with a large nucleus probably contains a high ratio of neutron protons.

To understand why an isotope disintegrates we need to focus on the atomic nucleus. The nucleus is known to be charged with positive particles (protons), and they are very close to each other. It is also true that particles with equal charges repel each other. Therefore, the proximity of protons causes them to repel each other in an attempt to take as much space as possible. As a result, the core breaks because it cannot handle these repellent charges.

I believe the correct response would be A. More neutrons than protons.

What volume of concentrated (10.2 M) HCl would be required to prepare 1.11 x 104 mL of 1.5 M HC1? Enter your answer in scientifi

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

The required volume is 1.6 x 10³mL.

Explanation:

When we want to prepare a dilute solution from a concentrated one, we can use the dilution rule to find out the required volume to dilute. This rule states:

C₁ . V₁ = C₂ . V₂

where,

C₁ and V₁ are the concentration and volume of the concentrated solution

C₂ and V₂ are the concentration and volume of the dilute solution

In this case, we want to find out V₁:

C₁ . V₁ = C₂ . V₂

$V_{1} = \frac{C_{2}.V_{2}}{C_{1}} = \frac{1.5M \times1.11.10^{4}mL }{10.2M} =1.6\times10^{3} mL$

What mass in grams of Ag is produced from reaction of 31.75 g of Cu

wariber [46]

<span>Copper metal (Cu) reacts with silver nitrate (AgNO3) in aqueous solution to form Ag and Cu(NO3)2. An excess of AgNO3 is present. The balanced chemical equation is shown below.

Cu + 2AgNO3 ---> Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag

The molar mass of Cu is 63.5 g/mol. The molar mass of Ag is 107.9 g/mol. What mass, in grams, of Ag is produced from reaction of 31.75 g of Cu?
