Why do isotope decay

Chemistry
1 answer:
BaLLatris [955]3 years ago
7 0

Instability

Explanation:

Isotopes decays because they are unstable. Stable isotopes do not decay.

  • For every atomic nucleus, there is a specific neutron/proton ratio.
  • This ratio ensure that a nuclide is stable.
  • For example, fluorine F, is 10/9 stable.
  • Any nucleus with a neutron/proton combination different from its stability ratio either too many neutrons or too many protons will become unstable.
  • Such nuclide will split into one or more other nuclei with the emission of small particles of matter and considerable amount of energy.

Answer:

Oxygen

Explanation:

 · Air decolorization makes use of chromophores’ instability on oxygen to decolorize the oil by air-oxidizing pigments. For example, the carotenoid and chlorophyll in the oil are very unstable because of their structure, which is easy to be discolored under the action of oxygen. However, air decolorization leads to thermal oxidation of the oil, too.

Based on the nature of the sub-atomic particles, the correct answers are:

5. No Charge

6. Negative

7. Neutrons and Protons

8. 35 electrons

9. atomic number is 5

10. atomic mass is 11

11. number of protons is 15

12. number of electrons is 20

13. number of neutrons is 30 (55 -25)

14. mass number is 7

15. number of neutrons is 11 (36 - 25)

<h3>What are the sub-atomic particles?</h3>

The sub-atomic particles are the electrons, protons, and neutrons.

The electron is negatively-charged, the proton is positively-charged, whereas, the neutron is neutral and has no charge.

The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons.

The sum of protons and neutrons gives the mass number of the atom.

Considering the given questions:

5. What type of charge does a neutron have?

Answer = No Charge

6. What type of charge does an electron have?

Answer =  Negative

7. Which two subatomic particles are located in the nucleus of an

Answer = Neutrons and Protons

8. If an atom has 35 protons in the nucleus, how many electrons will it have orbiting the nucleus?

Answer = 35 electrons

9. What is the atomic number of the atom in the diagram above?

Answer = atomic number is 5

10. What is the atomic mass/mass number of the atom in the diagram above?

Answer = atomic mass is 11

11. How many protons are in the nucleus of an atom with an atomic number of 15?

Answer = number of protons is 15

12. How many electrons are in the nucleus of an atom with an atomic number of 20?

Answer = number of electrons is 20

13. How many neutrons are in the nucleus of an atom with an atomic number of 25?

Answer = number of neutrons is 30 (55 -25)

14. What is the mass number of an atom with 3 protons, 4 neutrons, and 3 electrons?

Answer = mass number is 7

15. How many neutrons are in the nucleus of an atom that has an atomic mass of 36 and an atomic number of 25?

Answer = number of neutrons is 11 (36 - 25)

In conclusion, the mass number of an atom is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the an atom.

Calculate δg∘rxn and e∘cell for a redox reaction with n = 3 that has an equilibrium constant of k = 4.4×10−2. you may want to re
lapo4ka [179]
a) First, to get ΔG°rxn we have to use this formula when:

ΔG° = - RT ㏑ K 

when ΔG° is Gibbs free energy 

and R is the constant = 8.314 J/mol K

and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 25 °C+ 273 =  298 K 

and when K = 4.4 x 10^-2

so, by substitution:

ΔG°= - 8.314 * 298 *㏑(4.4 x 10^-2)

      = -7739 J  = -7.7 KJ


b) then, to get E
° cell for a redox reaction we have to use this formula:

ΔE° Cell = (RT / nF) ㏑K

when R is a constant = 8.314 J/molK

and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 25°C + 273 = 298 K

and n = no.of moles of e- from the balanced redox reaction= 3

and F is Faraday constant = 96485 C/mol

and K = 4.4 x 10^-2

so, by substitution:

∴ ΔE° cell = (8.314 * 298 / 3* 96485) *㏑(4.4 x 10^-2)

              = - 2.7 x 10^-2 V
