Hydrogen-3 (3h) carbon-14 (14c) oxygen-16 (16o) which isotope(s) would most likely undergo nuclear decay, and why? hint: hydroge

n's atomic number = 1; carbon's atomic number = 6; oxygen's atomic number = 8 hydrogen-3 would most likely decay because odd-numbered isotopes are less stable. carbon-14 and oxygen-16 would most likely decay because their atomic numbers are higher. carbon-14 and hydrogen-3 would most likely decay because they have low atomic mass. oxygen-16 would most likely decay because its neutrons and protons are equal. carbon-14 and hydrogen-3 would most likely decay because their neutrons and protons are not equal. oxygen-16 would most likely decay because it has the largest atomic mass.

Answer:

The correct answer is "carbon-14 and hydrogen-3 would most likely decay because their neutrons and protons are not equal".

Explanation:

Nuclear decay, also known as radioactive decay, is a process at which an atom losses energy gradually in the form of radiation. This process occurs particularly in atoms with an unstable nucleus, which happens when the numbers of protons and neutrons are not equal. In this case, carbon-14 and hydrogen-3 would most likely decay because they have this characteristic. The difference between protons and neutrons is known as neutron-proton ratio, and the larger it is the most unstable the nucleus is.

What is the nuclear binding energy for thorium-234? 2.78 × 10-10 J 3.36 × 10-14 J 1.67 × 1017 J 5.35 x 10-23 J
grin007 [14]
The correct option is A.
To calculate the binding energy, you have to find the mass defect first.
Mass defect = [mass of proton and neutron] - Mass of the nucleus
The molar mass of thorium that we are given in the question is 234, the atomic number of thorium is 90, that means the number of neutrons in thorium is 
234 - 90 = 144.
The of proton in thourium is 90, same as the atomic number.
Mass defect = {[90 * 1.00728] +[144* 1.00867]} - 234
Note that each proton has a mass of 1.00728 amu and each neutron has the mass of 1.00867 amu.
Mass defect = [90.6552 + 145.24848] - 234 = 1.90368 amu.
Note that the unit of the mass is in amu, it has to be converted to kg
To calculate the mass in kg
Mass [kg] = 1.90368 * [1kg/6.02214 * 10^-26 = 3.161135 * 10^-27
To calculate the binding energy
E = MC^2
C = Speed of light constant = 2.9979245 *10^8 m/s2
E = [3.161135 * 10^-27] * [2.9979245 *10^8]^2
E = 2.84108682069 * 10^-10.
Note that we arrive at this answer because of the number of significant figures that we used.
So, from the option given, Option A is the nearest to the calculated value and is our answer for this problem.

Blood ph is kept near a value of 7.3 - 7.5 because of
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:  Neutral Value

Explanation:  pH of the blood is maintained at 7.0 to 7.5that is neutral value.

This is because if the pH of the is lower than the maintained value then it will become acidic .

Acidic pH can cause the medical urgency known as acidosis leading to vomiting, diarrhea etc.

If the pH becomes higher, then the blood will become basic in nature and it can also leas to the death of the person.

That is why the pH of the blood is maintianed at neutral value of 7.0 to 7.5
