Chemistry

marissa [1.9K]2 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.

How many molecules are there in 4dm³ of nitrogen gas​
daser333 [38]

There are 1.078 x 10²³ molecules

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

4 dm³ = 4 L Nitrogen gas

Required

Number of molecules

Solution

Assumptions on STP (1 atm, 273 K), 1 mol gas = 22.4 L, so for 4 L :

mol = 4 : 22.4

mol = 0.179

1 mol = 6.02 x 10²³ particles(molecules, atoms)

For 0.179 :

= 0.179 x 6.02 x 10²³

= 1.078 x 10²³
