Answer: A. an electron

<u>Beta particles are electrons or positrons (electrons with positive electric charge or antielectrons).</u> Beta decay is a type of radioactive decay in which a beta ray is emitted from an atomic nucleus.

<u>Beta decay occurs when, in an unstable nucleus with too many protons or too many neutrons, one of the protons or neutrons transforms into the other.</u> In beta minus decay, a neutron is broken down into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino (the neutrino antiparticle, meaning it has an opposite charge to the neutrino). In beta decay plus, a prototype breaks down into a neutron, a positron and a neutrino.

Question 2 The metal molybdenum becomes superconducting at temperatures below 0.90K. Calculate the temperature at which molybden

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Temperature at which molybdenum becomes superconducting is-272.25°C

Explanation:

Conductor are those hard substances which allows path of electric current through them. And super conductors are those hard substances which have resistance against the flow of electric current through them.

As given, molybdenum becomes superconducting at temperatures below 0.90 K.

Temperature in Kelvins can be converted in °C by relation:

T(°C)=273.15-T(K)

Molybdenum becomes superconducting in degrees Celsius.

T(°C)=273.15-0.90= -272.25 °C

Temperature at which molybdenum becomes superconducting is -272.25 °C

How many grams of copper (II) hydroxide can be prepared from 2.4 grams of copper (II) nitrate (Cu(NO3)2 ) and excess sodium hydr

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

percentage yield = 67%

Explanation:

Mass of Cu(NO₃)₂ = 15.25 g

Mass of NaOH = 12.75 g

Percentage yield = ?

Solution:

Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2NaOH → Cu(OH)₂ + 2NaNO₃

Moles of Cu(NO₃)₂:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 15.25 g /187.56 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.08 mol

Moles of NaOH :

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 12.75 g / 40 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.32 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Cu(OH)₂ with NaOH and Cu(NO₃)₂. NaOH : Cu(OH)₂

2 : 1

0.32 : 1/2×0.32 = 0.16 mol

Cu(NO₃)₂ : Cu(OH)₂

1 : 1

0.08 : 0.08

The number of moles produced by Cu(NO₃)₂ are less so it will limiting reactant.

Mass of Cu(OH)₂:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.08 mol × 97.6 g/mol

Mass = 7.808 g

Theoretical yield = 7.808 g

Percent yield:

percentage yield = Actual yield/ theoretical yield × 100

percentage yield = 5.23 g/ 7.808 g × 100

percentage yield = 0.67 × 100

percentage yield = 67%

A substance decays so that the amount a of the substance left at time t is given by: a = a0 ∙ (0.8)t where a0 is the original am

Zolol [24]

The half-life of the substance is 3.106 years.

<h3>What is the formula for exponential decay?</h3>

The exponential decline, which is a rapid reduction over time, can be calculated with the use of the exponential decay formula.
The exponential decay formula is used to determine population decay, half-life, radioactivity decay, and other phenomena.
The general form is F(x) = a.

Here,

a = the initial amount of substance

1-r is the decay rate

x = time span

The equation is given in its correct form as follows:

a = $a_{0}$ × $(0.8)^{t}$

As this is an exponential decay of a first order reaction, t is an exponent of 0.8.

Now let's figure out the half life. Since the amount left is half of the initial amount at time t, that is when:

a = 0.5 a0

<h3>Substituting this into the equation:</h3>

0.5 $a_{0}$ = $a_{0}$ × $(0.8)^{t}$

0.5 = $(0.8)^{t}$

taking log on both sides

t log 0.8 = log 0.5

t = log 0.5/log 0.8

t = 3.106 years

The half-life of the substance is 3.106 years.
