When 38^88Sr decays to 34^84Kr, a(n) ______________ is emitted

Chemistry

Answer:

The correct answer is - alpha particle and positron.

Explanation:

In this question, it is given that, 38^88Sr decays to 34^84Kr, which means there is an atomic number decrease by 4, 38 to 34, and atomic mass decreases by 4 as well 88 to 84.

A decrease in the atomic mass is possible only when there is an emission of the alpha particle as an alpha particle is made of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. If an atom emits an alpha particle, there is a change in atomic number as it decreases by two, and its mass number decreases by four.

So after the emission of an alpha particle, the new atom would be

38^88Sr=> 36^84X => 34^84Kr

so there is also two positron emission that leads to decrease in atomic number by one with each emission:

38^88Sr=> 2^4He+ 36^84X => 36^84X + 2(1^0β+) => 34^84Kr

Positron decay is the conversion of a proton into a neutron with the emission of a positron that causes the atomic number is decreased by one, which causes a change in the elemental identity of the daughter isotope.

The wavelength of a particular color of violet light is 433 nm. The energy of this wavelength of light is kJ/photon. (109 nm = 1
mash [69]

Answer:

4.59 × 10⁻³⁶ kJ/photon

Explanation:

Step 1: Given and required data

  • Wavelength of the violet light (λ): 433 nm
  • Planck's constant (h): 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s
  • Speed of light (c): 3.00 × 10⁸ m/s

Step 2: Convert "λ" to meters

We will use the conversion factor 1 m = 10⁹ nm.

433 nm × 1 m/10⁹ nm = 4.33 × 10⁷ m

Step 3: Calculate the energy (E) of the photon

We will use the Planck-Einstein's relation.

E = h × c/λ

E = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s × (3.00 × 10⁸ m/s)/4.33 × 10⁷ m

E = 4.59 × 10⁻³³ J = 4.59 × 10⁻³⁶ kJ

Consider the reaction 3X + 2Y 5C + 4D
xeze [42]

Answer:

This problem is providing a chemical equation between two hypothetical elements, X and Y and asks for the molesof X that are needed to 

produce 21.00 moles of D in excess Y. After the following work, the answer turns out to be 15.75 mol X:Mole ratios:In chemistry, one the most crucial branches is stoichiometry, which allows us to perform calculations with grams, moles and particles (atoms, molecules and ions). It is based on the concept of mole ratios, whereby the moles of a specific substance can be converted to moles of another one, say product to reactant, reactant to reactant, reactant to product and product to product.

Calculations:In such a way, since 21.00 moles of D are given, we need the mole ratio of D to X in order to get the answer, which according to the reaction is 3:4 based on their coefficients in the reaction. Hence, we calculate the required as follows:
