The simple trick which one can consider in such problem where it is asked for positron emission is :
<span>When the atomic number goes DOWN by one and mass number remains unchanged, then a positron is emitted.
</span>
<span>a. </span>
<span>
Here the atomic number decreases by one.
Similarly, options b and d are eliminated.
Option c is also not the answer.
For c, Count the atomic number on left side and compare it with right side. You will see it is 9 on left and 8 on right. Atomic no. did go down by 1. But the atomic mass is changed as well.

An atom that has 13 protons and 15 neutrons is isotope of Aluminium (answer C)
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>
- Isotope is a form of the same element with the equal number of protons but difference number of neutrons in their nuclei.
- In other words isotope has the same atomic number but different mass number.
- Atomic number of a element is determined by number of protons of an element.
- from the periodic table Aluminum in atomic number 13 therefore it has 13 protons <em>therefore an atom that has 13 protons and 15 neutrons is a isotope of Aluminium. </em>
Mass box C is 10+5. (So C is 15)
But if C was 30, how many times could you put B (5) into it?
30/5 = 6
You would need 6 boxes of B to make 30 grams of C.
Answer:
The precipitate is CuS.
Sulfide will precipitate at [S2-]= 3.61*10^-35 M
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: </u>Data given
The solution contains 0.036 M Cu2+ and 0.044 M Fe2+
Ksp (CuS) = 1.3 × 10-36
Ksp (FeS) = 6.3 × 10-18
Step 2: Calculate precipitate
CuS → Cu^2+ + S^2- Ksp= 1.3*10^-36
FeS → Fe^2+ + S^2- Ksp= 6.3*10^-18
Calculate the minimum of amount needed to form precipitates:
Q=Ksp
<u>For copper</u> we have: Ksp=[Cu2+]*[S2-]
Ksp (CuS) = 1.3*10^-36 = 0.036M *[S2-]
[S2-]= 3.61*10^-35 M
<u>For Iron</u> we have: Ksp=[Fe2+]*[S2-]
Ksp(FeS) = 6.3*10^-18 = 0.044M*[S2-]
[S2-]= 1.43*10^-16 M
CuS will form precipitates before FeS., because only 3.61*10^-35 M Sulfur Ions are needed for CuS. For FeS we need 1.43*10^-16 M Sulfur Ions which is much larger.
The precipitate is CuS.
Sulfide will precipitate at [S2-]= 3.61*10^-35 M
