₈O¹⁸ + ₁¹H(proton) ⇒ ₉F¹⁸ + ₀n¹(neutron) + ₀γ⁰
(gamma)
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Fluorine-18
Oxygen-18
Required
Nuclear equation
Solution
Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,
- alpha α particles ₂He⁴
- beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
- gamma particles ₀γ⁰
- positron particles ₁e⁰
- neutron ₀n¹
The principle used is the sum of the atomic number and mass number before and after the decay reaction is the same
The reaction
₈O¹⁸ + ₁¹H(proton) ⇒ ₉F¹⁸ + ₀n¹(neutron) + ₀γ⁰

Answer:</h3>
Empirical formula is CrO
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
<u>We are given;</u>
- Mass of sample of Chromium as 7.337 gram
- Mass of the metal oxide formed as 9.595 g
We are required to determine the empirical formula of the metal oxide.
<h3>Step 1 ; Determine the mass of oxygen used </h3>
Mass of oxygen = Mass of the metal oxide - mass of the metal
= 9.595 g - 7.337 g
= 2.258 g
<h3>Step 2: Determine the moles of chromium and oxygen</h3>
Moles of chromium metal
Molar mass of chromium = 51.996 g/mol
Moles of Chromium = 7.337 g ÷ 51.996 g/mol
= 0.141 moles
Moles of oxygen
Molar mass of oxygen = 16.0 g/mol
Moles of Oxygen = 2.258 g ÷ 16.0 g/mol
= 0.141 moles
<h3>Step 3: Determine the simplest mole number ratio of Chromium to Oxygen</h3>
Mole ratio of Chromium to Oxygen
Cr : O
0.141 mol : 0.141 mol
1 : 1
Empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of elements in a compound.
Thus the empirical formula of the metal oxide is CrO
