1 answer:

3 0

Answer : The types of radiation known to be emitted by radioactive elements are, alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays.

Explanation :

Radioactive decay : It the process in which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by emitting the radiations like, alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays.

The naturally occurring radioactive elements are, radium, thorium, and uranium.

Alpha particle : It is also known as alpha radiation or alpha ray that consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons that are bound together into a particle that is identical to the helium nucleus. It is produced in the process of alpha decay.

Beta particle : It is also known as beta radiation or beta ray. During the beta decay process, a high energy and speed electron or positron are emitted by the radioactive decay of atomic nucleus.

Gamma particle : It is also a gamma radiation or gamma ray that is arising from the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei. It has shortest wavelength waves and imparts high photon energy can pass through most forms of matters because they have no mass.

Which set of numbers gives the correct possible values of I for n = 2?

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

0,1

Explanation:

There are four quantum numbers:

Principal quantum number (n)

Azimuthal quantum number (l)

Magnetic quantum number (ml)

Spin quantum number (ms)

All these four quantum numbers gives complete information about an electron like its spin, shells, subshells and orbitals.

For example:

If n=2 than possible sets of quantum numbers are:

Azimuthal quantum number (l)

The azimuthal quantum number describe the shape of orbitals. Its value for s, p, d, f... are 0, 1, 2, 3. l= n-1

(n-1)

2-1 = 1

For n=2 there are two subshell s and p.

s = 0

p= 1

Magnetic quantum number (ml)

It describe the orientation of orbitals. Its values are -l to +l. For l=1 the ml will be -1 0 +1

Spin quantum number (ms)

The spin quantum number tells the spin of electron either its clock wise (+1/2) or anti clock wise (-1/2).

If the electron is added in full empty orbital its spin will be +1/2 because it occupy full empty. If electron is already present and another electron is added then its spin will be -1/2.

Out of Br2 and NaBr which compound is more likely to be more soluble in CCl4

saul85 [17]

Br2 because it is non polar and so is CCl4 and like molecules dissolve like molecules therefore Br2 will dissolve in CCl4

A solution contains an unknown amount of dissolved magnesium. Addition of

Scrat [10]

Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, 2.13 grams of magnesium was dissolved in the solution.

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

Mg²⁺(aq) + Na₂CO₃(aq) → MgCO₃(s) + 2 Na⁺(aq)

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

Mg²⁺: 1 mole
Na₂CO₃: 1 mole
MgCO₃: 1 mole
Na⁺: 2 moles

The molar mass of the compounds is:

Mg²⁺: 24.3 g/mole
Na₂CO₃: 106 g/mole
MgCO₃: 84.3 g/mole
Na⁺: 23 g/mole

Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:

Mg²⁺: 1 mole ×24.3 g/mole= 24.3 grams
Na₂CO₃: 1 mole ×106 g/mole= 106 grams
MgCO₃: 1 mole ×84.3 g/mole=84.3 grams
Na⁺: 2 moles ×23 g/mole= 46 grams

<h3>Mass of magnesium dissolved</h3>

The following rule of three can be applied: If by reaction stoichiometry 1 mole of Na₂CO₃ react with 24.3 grams of magnesium, 0.0877 moles of Na₂CO₃ react with how much mass of magnesium?

$mass of magnesium=\frac{0.0877 moles of Na_{2}C O_{3}x24.3 grams of magnesium }{1 mole of Na_{2}C O_{3}}$

<u><em>mass of magnesium= 2.13 grams</em></u>

Finally, 2.13 grams of magnesium was dissolved in the solution.
