During a phenomenon called beta decay the neutron of the isotope uranium 237 emits/releases an electron causing an increase of atomic number. With the reference of a periodic table the "new" element is Neptunium or Np-237.
Answer:
a. Kp=1.4


b.Kp=2.0 * 10^-4


c.Kp=2.0 * 10^5


Explanation:
For the reaction
A(g)⇌2B(g)
Kp is defined as:

The conditions in the system are:
A B
initial 0 1 atm
equilibrium x 1atm-2x
At the beginning, we don’t have any A in the system, so B starts to react to produce A until the system reaches the equilibrium producing x amount of A. From the stoichiometric relationship in the reaction we get that to produce x amount of A we need to 2x amount of B so in the equilibrium we will have 1 atm – 2x of B, as it is showed in the table.
Replacing these values in the expression for Kp we get:

Working with this equation:

This last expression is quadratic expression with a=4, b=-(4+Kp) and c=1
The general expression to solve these kinds of equations is:
(equation 1)
We just take the positive values from the solution since negative partial pressures don´t make physical sense.
Kp = 1.4


With x1 we get a partial pressure of:


Since negative partial pressure don´t make physical sense x1 is not the solution for the system.
With x2 we get:


These partial pressures make sense so x2 is the solution for the equation.
We follow the same analysis for the other values of Kp.
Kp=2*10^-4
X1=0.505
X2=0.495
With x1


Not sense.
With x2


X2 is the solution for this equation.
Kp=2*10^5
X1=50001

With x1


Not sense.
With x2


X2 is the solution for this equation.
Answer:
has Two oxygen atoms
Explanation:
Oxygen is a diatomic element hence exists as O2 for majority of its existence in our atmosphere. Although small portion does exist in form of O3 which protects earth from sun's harmful ray, the majority portion of oxygen has O2 which is the oxygen we breathe.
