What's the equation of Francium – 223 returned to the ground state?

Chemistry

Answer:

22387Fr→22388Ra+0−1e+00ν

Explanation:

β-decay is the decay of a neutron into a proton, which keeps the total mass the same, but increases the number of protons by 1. β-decay does this by releasing an electron, which conserves charge, and a neutrino.

Francium-223 has an atomic number of 87, so is written as

22387Fr

If the atomic number then increases by 1 to become 88, then it is a new element. Looking at the periodic table, element 88 is radium, Ra.

In the form of an equation, this is shown as

22387Fr→22388Ra+0−1e+00ν

You can check this is correct by adding up the top numbers on each side and equating them, and doing the same with the bottom numbers.

223=223+0+0

87+88+(−1)+0

The ph of a 0.30 m solution of a weak acid is 2.67. what is the ka for this acid?
azamat
To determine the Ka of the acid, we can use the equation for the pH of weak acids which is expressed as:

pH = -0.5 log Ka
2.67 = -0.5 log Ka
Ka = 4.571x10^-6

Weak acids are acids that do not dissociate completely in solution. The solution would contain the cations, anions and the acid itself as a compound. Hope this helps.

Which of the following correctly describes the law of conservation of energy
egoroff_w [7]
Mass and energy can not be created or destroyed, they may be able to just be converted, and neither one seems without the opposite. For this reason in closed systems, both mass and energy are conserved individually. " I hope this helps "

How is a coefficient used to balance an equation
ludmilkaskok [199]

Let's start to understand this question by a simple combustion reaction involving oxidation of Ethane in the presence of Oxygen. When Ethane is burned in the presence of Oxygen it produces Carbon Dioxide and Water respectively. Therefore, the equation is as,

                                C₂H₆  +  O₂    →    CO₂  +  H₂O

Above reaction shows the reaction and the equation is unbalanced. Balancing chemical equation is important because according to law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed. Hence, we should balance the number of elements on both side.

                                       LHS                      RHS

Carbon Atoms                  2                            1

Hydrogen Atoms              6                           2

Oxygen Atoms                  2                           3

It means this equation is not obeying the law. Now, how to balance? One way is as follow,

                                C₂H₆  +  O₃    →    C₂O₂  +  H₆O

                                       LHS                      RHS

Carbon Atoms                  2                            2

Hydrogen Atoms              6                           6

Oxygen Atoms                  3                           3

We have balanced the equation by changing the subscripts. But, we have messed up the chemical composition of compounds and molecules like Oxygen is converted into Ozone.

Therefore, we will change the coefficients (moles) to balance the equation as,

                                C₂H₆  +  7/2 O₂    →    2 CO₂  +  3 H₂O

                                       LHS                      RHS

Carbon Atoms                  2                            2

Hydrogen Atoms              6                           6

Oxygen Atoms                  7                           7

Now, by changing the coefficients we have balanced the equation without disturbing the chemical composition of compounds and molecules.
