A beta particle is an electron and it has a -1 charge and zero mass.
Beta decay by
emitting an electron is called as β⁻
decay. When this happens, a neutron of the element converts into a proton by
emitting an electron. Hence, the mass of daughter nucleus is same as parent
atom but atomic number/number of protons is higher by 1 than atomic number of
parent atom.
In a β⁻ decay, the symbol is used as ₋₁⁰β or ₋₁⁰e.
-1 is for charge
<span> 0 is for the mass of the particle

Answer:
year 1 is 5.5%
year 2 is 7.5%
year 3 is 10.2%
Explanation:
since,
length of the transect covered in seaweed / total lenth of transect x 100
then,
0.55 / 10.0 x 100 = 5.5
and
0.75 / 10.0 x 100 = 7.5
and
1.02 / 10.0 x 100 = 10.2
you could also just move the decimal to the right once
:)
Answer:
Q = 8.8 kJ
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
The specific heat of a solution = 4.18 J/g°C
Volume = 296 mL
Density = 1.03 g/mL
The temperature increases with 6.9 °C
Step 2: Calculate the mass of the solution
mass = density * volume
mass = 1.03 g/mL * 296 mL
mass = 304.88 grams
Step 3: Calculate the heat
Q = m*c*ΔT
⇒ with Q = the heat in Joules = TO BE DETERMINED
⇒ with m = the mass of the solution = 304.88 grams
⇒ with c = the specific heat of the solution = 4.18 J/g°C
⇒ with ΔT = the change in temperature = 6.9 °C
Q = 304.88 g * 4.18 J/g°c * 6.9 °C
Q = 8793.3 J = 8.8 kJ
Q = 8.8 kJ
