Why is electron capture accompanied by the emission of an X-ray?

Chemistry
1 answer:
marissa [1.9K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

  During electron capture, an inner electron usually from K shell or L shell combines with proton of the nucleus thereby changing proton to neutron. The process of electron capture is also accompanied by the emission of neutrino. It generally occurs in proton rich nucleus. The capture of electron by the proton creates a hole in the electron shell. The hole created is generally filled by the dropping down of a higher level electron with the emission of X -ray.

Mr. Ragusa asks Hassan to make silver crystals from the following reaction.
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Percentage yield = 61.7%

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated:

2AgNO₃ + Cu —> Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag

Next, we shall determine the mass of AgNO₃ that reacted and the mass of Ag produced from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of AgNO₃ = 108 + 14 + (16×3)

= 108 + 14 + 48

= 170 g/mol

Mass of AgNO₃ from the balanced equation = 2 × 170 = 340 g

Molar mass of Ag = 108 g/mol

Mass of Ag from the balanced equation = 2 × 108 = 216 g

SUMMARY:

From the balanced equation above,

340 g of AgNO₃ reacted to produce 216 g of Ag.

Next, we shall determine the theoretical yield of Ag. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

340 g of AgNO₃ reacted to produce 216 g of Ag.

Therefore, 51 g of AgNO₃ will react to produce = (51 × 216)/340 = 32.4 g of Ag.

Thus, the theoretical yield of Ag is 32.4 g.

Finally, we shall determine the percentage yield of Ag. This can be obtained as follow:

Actual yield = 20 g

Theoretical yield = 32.4 g

Percentage yield =?

Percentage yield = Actual yield /Theoretical yield × 100

Percentage yield = 20 / 32.4 × 100

Percentage yield = 61.7%
