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.

Which of the following would shift the following equilibrium system to the right? C2H2(g) + H2O(g) ⇌ CH3CHO(g) Removing H2O(g) f

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Adding H₂O(g) to the system.

Explanation:

Le Châtelier's principle states that when there is an dynamic equilibrium, and this equilibrium is disturbed by an external factor, the equilibrium will be shifted in the direction that can cancel the effect of the external factor to reattain the equilibrium.

1) Removing H₂O(g) from the system:

This will decrease the concentration of the reactants side, so the reaction will be shifted to the left side to suppress the removal of H₂O(g) from the system.

2) Adding CH₃CHO(g) to the system :

This will increase the concentration of the products side, so the reaction will be shifted to the left side to suppress the adding CH₃CHO(g) to the system.

3) Removing C₂H₂(g) from the system:

This will decrease the concentration of the reactants side, so the reaction will be shifted to the left side to suppress the removal of C₂H₂(g) from the system.

4) Adding H₂O(g) to the system:

This will increase the concentration of the reactants side, so the reaction will be shifted to the right side to suppress the addition of H₂O(g) to the system.
So, it is the right choice.
