Here is what radioactive decay is:
<span>Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown
of an atomic nucleus resulting in the release of energy and matter from
the nucleus. Remember that a radioisotope has unstable nuclei that does
not have enough binding energy to hold the nucleus together.</span>
Answer:
B. a strongly basic solution
Explanation:
Kb is base dissociation constant, which indicates how completely a base dissociates into its component ions in water. The greater the Kb value, the greater the alkalinity of the solution and vice versa.
Therefore, a solution with a Kb value much greater than 1, indicates a strongly basic solution, while a solution with a Kb value less than 1, indicates a weakly basic solution.
Answer is: ph value of pyridine solution is 9.1.
Chemical
reaction: C₅H₅N +
H₂O → C₅H₅NH⁺ + OH⁻.<span>
c(pyridine - C</span>₅H₅N)
= 0.115M.<span>
Kb(C</span>₅H₅N)
= 1.4·10⁻⁹.
[C₅H₅NH⁺] = [OH⁻] = x; equilibrium concentration.<span>
[</span>C₅H₅N] =
0.115 M - x.
Kb = [C₅H₅NH⁺] · [OH⁻] / [C₅H₅N].
1.4·10⁻⁹ = x² / (0.115 M -x)
Solve quadratic equation: x = [OH⁻] = 0.0000127 M.<span>
pOH = -log(0.0000127 M) = 4.9</span>
<span>pH = 14 - 4.9 = 9.1.</span>
Answer:
An atom of Al which has 13 protons and 10 electrons is Al cation (Al⁺³)
Explanation:
An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.
All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other.
For example,
Al atom has 13 protons and 13 electrons. The number of positive and negative charge is equal thus it will be neutral atom.
While the atom of Al which have 13 proton and 10 electron is not neutral. The positive charge is greater than negative by 3. Which means 3 electrons are lose by Al atom and form cation "Al⁺³".
Thus an atom of Al which has 13 protons and 10 electrons is Al cation (Al⁺³)
