Answer:

₅₅Cs¹³⁷ → ₅₆Ba¹³⁷ + ⁰₋₁e

Explanation:

Beta radiations:

Beta radiations are result from the beta decay in which electron is ejected. The neutron inside of the nucleus converted into the proton an thus emit the electron which is called β particle.

Properties of beta radiations:

The mass of beta particle is smaller than the alpha particles.

They can travel in air in few meter distance.

These radiations can penetrate into the human skin.

The sheet of aluminium is used to block the beta radiation

₅₅Cs¹³⁷ → ₅₆Ba¹³⁷ + ⁰₋₁e

The beta radiations are emitted in this reaction. The one electron is ejected and neutron is converted into proton.

How many micrograms of iron were in the 8.0 mL sample of Greg's blood?
Alenkinab [10]
Answer is: there is 3,36 micrograms of iron in <span>sample of Greg's blood.
</span>m(Fe) = 42 mcg(micrograms).
V(Fe) = 1 dL = 1 dL · 100 mL/1dL.
V(Fe) = 100 mL.
Make proportion: m(Fe) : 8 mL = 42 mcg : 100 mL.
100 mL · m(Fe) = 8 mL · 42 mcg.
m(Fe) = 336 mL·mcg ÷ 100 mL.
m(Fe) = 3,36 mcg.
