Symbol for X : $\tt _{31}^{64}Ga$

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

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

Reaction

$\tt _{30}^{64}Zn\Rightarrow _{31}^{64}Ga+~_{-1}^0\beta$

Calculate the molarity 20ml of 3.5 m kci in to a final volume of 100 ml

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Molarity = 0.7 M

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of KCl = 20 mL ( 0.02 L)

Molarity = 3.5 M

Final volume = 100 mL (0.1 L)

Molarity in 100 mL = ?

Solution:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / volume in litter.

First of all we will determine the number of moles of KCl available.

Number of moles = molarity × volume in litter

Number of moles = 3.5 M × 0.02 L

Number of moles = 0.07 mol

Molarity in 100 mL.

Molarity = number of moles / volume in litter

Molarity = 0.07 mol /0.1 L

Molarity = 0.7 M

What is the overall charge of a Aluminum atom that loses 3 electrons

Rudik [331]

It’s charge was neutral due to the equal number of protons and electrons. when it becomes an ion it loses 3 electrons leaving behind only 10. the answer is 10. the equation is +13 +(-10)=+3

g Ammonium nitrate was the oxidizing agent used that damaged the New York World Trade Center in 1993 and the Federal Building in

Cloud [144]

Answer: $51.3\times 10^3$ kJ

Explanation:

The thermochemical equation for decomposition of ammonium nitrate is:

$NH_4NO_3(s)\rightarrow N_2O(g)+2H_2O(g)$ $\Delta H=-82.1kJ$

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass= 50.0 kg = $50.0\times 10^3g$ (1kg=1000g)

$\text{Number of moles of ammonium nitrate}=\frac{50.0\times 10^3g}{80g/mol}=0.625\times 10^3moles$

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of $NH_4NO_3$ gives = 82.1 kJ of heat

Thus $0.625\times 10^3moles$ of $NH_4NO_3$ give = $\frac{82.1}{1}\times 0.625\times 10^3=51.3\times 10^3$ kJ of heat

Thus $51.3\times 10^3$ kJ of heat is evolved from the decomposition of 50.0 kg of ammonium nitrate.
