Positron emission = emission of a positron and a neutrino when a
proton is convert into a neutron. The total number of particles in the
nucleus doesn't change, -1 proton +1 neutron
It's a spontaneous reaction for some nucleus.
eg:
Positron = e+
Neutrino=ve
O-15 --> N-15 + e+ +ve
Electron
capture= A nucleus absorb an electron while a proton is convert in a
neutron and emit a neutrino. The total number of particles in the
nucleus doesn't change, -1 proton +1 neutron
eg:
Al-26 +e- --> Mg-26 + ve
Electron
capture and positron emission are two mechanisms to explain the decay
of some unstable isotopes. Electron capture is usually observed when the
energy difference between the initial and final state is low. Mainly
because of the larger amount of kinetic energy need for the expulsion
two particles with the positron emission mechanism.

Percent yield is the compare of the amount of product obtained from a reaction with the amount you calculated
General formula:
Percent yield = (Actual yield / theoretical yield )x 100%
An actual yield is the amount of product actually produced by the reaction. A theoretical yield is the amount of product that you calculate from the reaction equation according to the product and reactant coefficients
Reaction
CaO + H₂O ⇒ Ca(OH)₂
mass CaO= 4.2 g
mol CaO(MW=56,0774 g/mol) :

mol Ca(OH)₂ based on mol CaO
mol ratio CaO : Ca(OH)₂,= 1 : 1, so mol Ca(OH)₂ = 0.075
mass Ca(OH)₂(MW=74,093 g/mol) ⇒ theoretical

Using the given formula, the density of the material is 2.015 g/mL
<h3>Calculating Density </h3>
From the question, we are to determine the density of the material
From the given formula
Density = Mass / Volume
And from the given information,
Mass = 65.5 g
and volume = 32.5 mL
Putting the parameters into the equation,
Density = 65.5/32.5
Density = 2.015 g/mL
Hence, the density of the material is 2.015 g/mL.
