Why would an unstable radioactive isotope (nuclide) emit a beta particle (high energy electron)?

Chemistry
1 answer:
sasho [114]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A)It has too many neutrons

Explanation:

Electrons are emitted from the nucleus when a neutron is converted to a proton, an electron and a neutrino. This process is popularly known as beta emission. It reduces the neutron-proton ratio of a nuclide. The neutrino is a particle of zero mass and zero charge that carries off the excess energy and balances spins.

The loss of an electron from the nucleus occurs when there are too many neutrons in the nucleus. The process of beta emission usually reduces the number of neutrons in an atom thereby decreasing the neutron-proton ratio.

A piece of solid Fe metal is put into an aqueous solution of Cu(NO3)2. Write the net ionic equation for any single-replacement r
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Fe(s) + Cu^2+(aq) ---> Fe^2+(aq) + Cu(s)

Explanation:

The ionic equation shows the actual reaction that took place. It excludes the spectator ions. Spectator ions are ions that do not really participate in the reaction even though they are present in the system.

For the reaction between iron and copper II nitrate, the molecular reaction equation is;

Fe(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq)----> Fe(NO3)2(aq) +Cu(s)

Ionically;

Fe(s) + Cu^2+(aq) ---> Fe^2+(aq) + Cu(s)

A typical person has an average heart rate of 75.0 beats/min. Pay close attention to significant figures in this question.
frozen [14]

The number of beats  the person have in 1.7 years is  6.7 x 10⁷ beats.

<h3>Number of beats of the person</h3>

The number of beats of the person is calculated as follows;

n = bt

where;

  • b is the beat rate
  • n is number of beats
  • t is time or duration

b = 75 beats/min

t = 1.7 years = 893520 mins

n = 75 beats/min x 893520 mins

n = 67,014,000

n = 6.7 x 10⁷ beats

Thus, the number of beats  the person have in 1.7 years is  6.7 x 10⁷ beats.

Chlorofluorocarbons photodissociate to produce chlorine atoms, cl•, which have been implicated in decreasing the concentration o
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

The role that chlorine atoms have in increasing the depeltion rate ozone is that Cl acts as a catalyst.

Explanation:

  • From the two steps of the reaction:
  1. O₃ + Cl· → ClO· + O₂
  2. ClO· + O → Cl· + O₂
  • The overall reaction is: O₃ + O → 2O₂
  • It is clear that ClO· is an intermediate that has been produced within the first step and has been consumed in the second step.
  • Also, Cl· is considered as a catalyst in this reaction that it has been consumed in the first step and has been produced in the second step, which means that it does not get up in the reaction, that is the main characteristic of the catalyst.
  • The catalyst usually increases the rate of the reaction by lowering its energy of activation (The minimum energy that is required to initiate the reaction) by proceeding the reaction in an alternative pathway <em>(changing the reaction mechanism)</em>.
  • Hence, the role affecting the reaction rate that chlorine atoms have in increasing the depletion rate of ozone that it acts as a catalyst and does not get used up in the reaction.
