When K-37 undergoes positron emission, what is the resulting atom?

Chemistry

Answer:

C) Ar-37

Explanation:

A positron is a positively charged electron. It has the same mass as that of an electron, but opposite charge. It is the counterpart of an electron.

The reaction involving the emission of a positron by k-37 would produce a Ar-37, which is an unstable isotope of Argon. In this emission, there must not be a particle loss or creation, the addition of the mass number and proton number on LHS must be the sane as that on RHS of the equation.

An isotope is ability of an element to exist in two or more forms with the same atomic number but different mass number.

What is the Chemical Formula and Net Ionic Equations for all three solutions.

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

See answer below

Explanation:

As you are asking for chemical formula and ionic equation, then, I will assume that after the station #3 below, are the solutions you are requiring.

You are also not specifing if you want for example, result of solution 1 + solution 3. If you need that, please post that on another question.

Now for the chemical formula, you need to identify the elements in all 3 solutions, and also the type of compound.

<u>1. Solution 2 Potassium Iodide: </u>

In this case we have Potassium on one side, and Iodine on the other side, the symbol for those are K and l. As Potassium have the +1 oxidation state, cause is the only one that it can have, when it's next to an halide like chlorine or bromine, it will form a binary salt. The halides, usually work with the lowest oxydation state. In the case of Iodide it will be -1, so, the formula will be:

And the net ionic equation will be the chemical equation that shows how the charges and atoms are balanced. In this case it would be:

K⁺ + I⁻ ------> KI

<u>2. Solution 1 and 3, Lead (II) nitrate and Sodium carbonate: </u>

In this case I will work with both, because both of the solution are tertiary compounds. In this cases, we have two tertiary salt, The Sodium symbol is Na, and is working with it oxydation state +1. Carbonate is an anion and have the formula CO₃ working with the oxydation state -2. Lead can work with oxidation state +2 and +4. It's symbol is Pb. Nitrate is NO₃ and works with oxydation state -1 instead.

The chemical formula and ionic equation for both will be:

Lead(II) nitrate: Pb(NO₃)₂

Sodium Carbonate: Na₂CO₃

And the net equations:

Lead nitrate: Pb²⁺ + 2NO₃⁻ ------> Pb(NO₃)₂

Copper sulfate: 2Na⁺ + CO₃²⁻ -------> Na₂CO₃

Hope this helps

Which of the following must be the same in atoms of the same element? (Ex: all atoms of silver)

rewona [7]

Answer:

option b = atomic number

Explanation:

The atomic number of silver is 47. Its isotopes range from Ag⁹³ - Ag¹³² . The naturally occurring silver is made up of two stable isotopes i.e ₄₇Ag¹⁰⁷ and ₄₇Ag¹⁰⁹. The percentage of Ag¹⁰⁷ is 51.84% so it is more abundant than ₄₇Ag¹⁰⁹. Their atomic masses are different but the atomic number is same i.e 47.

A neutral atom have equal number of protons and neutrons. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example in case of silver 47 protons and 47 electrons are present. The number of protons or number of electrons are the atomic number of an atom while the number of protons and number of neutrons are the mass number of an atom. Every atom consist of nucleus or a positive center. The protons and neutrons are present with in the nucleus while electrons are present out side the nucleus. All these three subatomic particles construct an atom.
