What is the isotope formed during radioactive decay

1 answer:

6 0

Answer: Except for gamma decay or internal conversion from a nuclear excited state, the decay is a nuclear transmutation resulting in a daughter containing a different number of protons or neutrons (or both). When the number of protons changes, an atom of a different chemical element is created.

How many moles of CO2 would be present in a gas sample of 10 L at 25.0oC and a pressure of .77 atm?

Step2247 [10]

Use PV=nRT to solve the equation. You need to solve for n (number of moles). Don’t forget to convert the temperature to kelvins by adding 25+273. Use 0.082057 for R.

Answer:

Mass = 42.8g

Explanation:

4 NH 3 ( g ) + 5 O 2 ( g ) ⟶ 4 NO ( g ) + 6 H 2 O ( g )

Observe that every 4 mole of ammonia requires 5 moles of oxygen to obtain 4 moles of Nitrogen oxide and 6 moles of water.

Step 1: Determine the balanced chemical equation for the chemical reaction.

The balanced chemical equation is already given.

Step 2: Convert all given information into moles (through the use of molar mass as a conversion factor).

Ammonia = 63.4g × 1mol / 17.031 g = 3.7226mol

Oxygen = 63.4g × 1mol / 32g = 1.9813mol

Step 3: Calculate the mole ratio from the given information. Compare the calculated ratio to the actual ratio.

If all of the 1.9831 moles of oxygen were to be used up, there would need to be 1.9831 × 4 / 5 or 1.5865 moles of Ammonia. We have 3.72226 moles of ammonia - Far excess. Because there is an excess of Ammonia, the Oxygen amount is used to calculate the amount of the products in the reaction.

Step 4: Use the amount of limiting reactant to calculate the amount of H2O produced.

5 moles of O2 = 6 moles of H2O

1.9831 moles = x

x = (1.9831 * 6 ) / 5

x = 2.37972 moles

Mass of H2O = Molar mass * Molar mass

Mass = 2.7972 * 18

Mass = 42.8g

A ball is equipped with a speedometer and launched straight upward. The speedometer reading four seconds after launch is shown a

Andrew [12]

Answer:

Question 1: 1 s after the motion starts

Question 2: 0 (just when the motion starts)

Explanation:

You will need to work with approximates values because the precision of the speedometers is low and you are requested to find approximate times.

1. From the speedometer shown at the right.

You can obtain how long the ball has been falling from the highest altitute it reached using the speed of 10 m/s shown by the speedometer at the right.

Free fall equation: Vf = Vo - gt

Vo = 0 ⇒ Vf = gt ⇒ t = Vf / g

For this problem, I recommend to work with a rough estimate of g: g = 10 m/s² ( I will tell you why soon)/

t = [10 m/s] / [10 m/s²] = 1 s

That is the time falling. Since four seconds after launch have elapsed, the upward time was 3 seconds. This will let you to calculate the launching speed.

2. Time when the speedometer displays a reading of 20 m/s

First, calculate the launching speed:

Vf = Vo - gt

Since the ball was 3 seconds going upward and the speed at the maximum altitude is 0 you get:

0 = Vo - gt

Vo = gt = 10 m/s² × 3 s = 30 m/s

Now, use the initial velocity to calculate when the ball is going upward with the speedometer reading is 20 m/s

20 m/s = 30 m/s - 10 m/s² × t

t = [ 30 m/s - 20 m/s] / [10 m/s²] = 1 s

Thus, the first answer is t = 1 s.

3. Time when the speedometer displays a reading of 30 m/s

This is the same speec estimated for the launching: 30 m/s.

So, this reading corresponds to the moment when the ball was launched.

Thus time is 0, i.e. it is the same instant of the launch.

If you had worked with g = 9.80 m/s², the time had been negative. This is due to the precision of the instruments.

That is why I recommended to work with g = 10 m/s².
