The yttrium- nuclide radioactively decays by electron capture. Write a balanced nuclear chemical equation that describes this pr
1 answer:
Answer:
See explanation and image attached
Explanation:
Yttrium has many isotopes, the lowest mass number of Yttrium is 89Y.
Recall that electron capture converts an electron into a proton and then into a neutron with a consequent emission of a neutrino (v).
In electron capture, the mass number of the daughter nucleus remains the same as that of the parent nucleus while the atomic number of the daughter nucleus is less than that of the parent by one unit.

The rate of disappearance of chlorine gas : 0.2 mol/dm³
<h3>Further explanation</h3>The reaction rate (v) shows the change in the concentration of the substance (changes in addition to concentrations for reaction products or changes in concentration reduction for reactants) per unit time.
For reaction :
The rate reaction :
Reaction for formation CCl₄ :
<em>CH₄+4Cl₂⇒CCl₄+4HCl</em>
<em />
From equation, rate of reaction = rate of formation CCl₄ = 0.05 mol/dm³
Rate of formation of CCl₄ = reaction rate x coefficient of CCCl₄
0.05 mol/dm³ = reaction rate x 1⇒reaction rate = 0.05 mol/dm³
The rate of disappearance of chlorine gas (Cl₂) :
Rate of disappearance of Cl₂ = reaction rate x coefficient of Cl₂
Rate of disappearance of Cl₂ = 0.05 x 4 = 0.2 mol/dm³
