Zinc-64 undergoes beta decay as shown:
1 answer:
Symbol for X :
Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,
- alpha α particles ₂He⁴
- beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
- gamma particles ₀γ⁰
- positron particles ₁e⁰
- neutron ₀n¹
Zinc-64 undergoes beta decay, so :
The atomic number will increase by +1, and the mass number will remain the same
So that the atomic number:
30 + 1 = 31
The element with atomic number 31 is Gallium

Answer:
1) When 6.97 grams of sodium(s) react with excess water(l), 56.0 kJ of energy are evolved.
2) When 10.4 grams of carbon monoxide(g) react with excess water(l), 1.04 kJ of energy are absorbed.
Explanation:
1) The following thermochemical equation is for the reaction of sodium(s) with water(l) to form sodium hydroxide(aq) and hydrogen(g).
2 Na(s) + 2H₂O(l) ⇒ 2NaOH(aq) + H₂(g) ΔH = -369 kJ
The enthalpy of the reaction is negative, which means that 369 kJ of energy are evolved per 2 moles of sodium. The energy evolved for 6.97 g of Na (molar mass 22.98 g/mol) is:
2) The following thermochemical equation is for the reaction of carbon monoxide(g) with water(l) to form carbon dioxide(g) and hydrogen(g).
CO(g) + H₂O(l) ⇒ CO₂(g) + H₂(g) ΔH = 2.80 kJ
The enthalpy of the reaction is positive, which means that 2.80 kJ of energy are absorbed per mole of carbon monoxide. The energy evolved for 10.4 g of CO (molar mass 28.01 g/mol) is:
