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.

<span>Answer: A 0.04403 g sample of gas occupies 10.0-mL at 289.0 K and 1.10 atm. Upon further analysis, the compound is found to be 25.305% C and 74.695% Cl. What is the molecular formula of the compound? --------------------------------------... Seems like I did a problem very similar to this--this must be the "B" test. But the halogen was different. 25.305% C/12 = 2.108 74.695% Cl/35.5 = 2.104 So the empirical formula would be CH. However, there are many compounds which fit this bill, so we have to use the gas data. (And I made, in the previous problem, the simplifying assumption that 289C and 1.10 atm would offset each other, so I'll do that, too.) 0.044 grams/10 ml = x/22.4 liters 0.044g/0.010 liters = x/22.4 liters 22.4 liters/0.010 liters = 2240 (ratio) 2240 x .044 = 98.56 (actual atomic weight) CCl = 35.5+12 or 47.5, so two of those is 95 grams/mole. This is sufficiient to distinguish C2CL2, (dichloroacetylene) from C6CL6 (hexachlorobenzene) which would mass 3 times as much.</span>

Calcium oxide and oxygen gas are produced by the thermal decomposition of limestone in the reaction CaCO (s) CaO(s) + CO (g). Wh
kozerog [31]
The mass of lime that  can  be produced  from  4.510 Kg of limestone  is calculated  as  below

calculate the moles  of CaCO3  used

that is  moles =mass/molar mass
convert  Kg  to g  = 4.510 x1000 =4510g
=  4510 / 100 =45.10 moles
CaCO3 = CaO  +O2

by use of mole ratio between CaCO3  to CaO  (1:1) the  moles of CaO  is also= 45.10 moles
mass of CaO = moles x molar  mass

45.10  x56 = 2525.6  g  of  CaO
