Beta emission is occurring in the given nuclear reaction.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

In this equation, the reactant is the Thorium atom, which is reduced to palladium. As the atomic number get decreased by one, so an electron will be emitted. This process of emission of electrons by radiation or decaying the reactant nuclei to form a new product nuclei is termed as beta emission.

So, the electrons are generally termed as beta particles while the positrons are termed as positive beta particles. So this is a kind of radioactive reactions where the reactant changes to new element by releasing an electron and thus there is a change in the atomic number of the product by one.

135g of an unknown substance gains 9133 J of heat as it is heated from 25⁰C to 100⁰C. Using the chart below, determine the ident
telo118 [61]

Answer:

The unknown substance is Aluminum.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the change in the temperature of substance. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial temperature (T₁) = 25 ⁰C

Final temperature (T₂) = 100 ⁰C

Change in temperature (ΔT) =?

ΔT = T₂ – T₁

ΔT = 100 – 25

ΔT = 75 ⁰C

Finally, we shall determine the specific heat capacity of the substance. This can be obtained as follow:

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 75 ⁰C

Mass of the substance (M) = 135 g

Heat (Q) gained = 9133 J

Specific heat capacity (C) of substance =?

Q = MCΔT

9133 = 135 × C × 75

9133 = 10125 × C

Divide both side by 10125

C = 9133 / 10125

C = 0.902 J/gºC

Thus, the specific heat capacity of substance is 0.902 J/gºC

Comparing the specific heat capacity (i.e 0.902 J/gºC) of substance to those given in the table above, we can see clearly that the unknown substance is aluminum.
