7 0
The correct answer is:
a positron is emitted when proton converts to a neutron.

The reaction can be described as following:
₁¹p (proton) → ₀¹n (neutron) + ₁°e (positron or ₁⁰β)
Positron is an antiparticle of a β particle (₋₁°β), which means it has an oposite charge to it, but same mass.

How many atoms are there in each of the following substances?
juin [17]

To know the number of atoms, it will be necessary to use the formula of avogadro. We calculate the number of moles then we can calculate the number of avogadro.

The molar mass of:

Phosphorus = 31g / mol

Mercury = 200 g / mol

Bismuth = 209 g / mol

Strontium = 87 g / mol.

The number of avogadro (N) is 6.023 10 ^ 23

n = m (mass) / M  (molar mass)

number of atoms = n. N = m / M  . N

number of phosphorus atoms = 5.14/31 . 6.023 10^23 = 9.98 10 ^ 22 atoms

Number of atoms of mercury = 2.16/200 . 6.023 10^23 = 6.5 10 ^ 21 atoms

Number of bismuth atoms = 1.8/209 . 6.023 10^23 = 5.18 10 ^ 21 atoms

Number of strontium atoms = 8.8 x 10-2 /87 . 6.023 10^23 = 6.09 10 ^ 20 atoms
