What type of radioactive decay will the isotopes 13B and 188Au most likely undergo?

Chemistry
1 answer:
scoundrel [369]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

b. Beta emission, beta emission

Explanation:

A factor to consider when deciding whether a particular nuclide will undergo this or that type of radioactive decay is to consider its neutron:proton ratio (N/P).

Now let us look at the N/P ratio of each atom;

For B-13, there are 8 neutrons and five protons N/P ratio = 8/5 = 1.6

For Au-188 there are 109 neutrons and 79 protons N/P ratio = 109/79=1.4

For B-13, the N/P ratio lies beyond the belt of stability hence it undergoes beta emission to decrease its N/P ratio.

For Au-188, its N/P ratio also lies above the belt of stability which is 1:1 hence it also undergoes beta emission in order to attain a lower N/P ratio.

1. Calculate the energy of a photon with a frequency of 3x1015 Hz.<br> ?????
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

1.99 x 10⁻¹⁸J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Frequency of the wave  = 3 x 10¹⁵Hz

Unknown:

Energy of the photon  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below;

     E  = hf

Where E is the energy, h is the Planck's constant and f is the frequency

Now insert the parameters and solve for E;

     E  = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ x 3 x 10¹⁵ = 19.9 x 10⁻¹⁹J or 1.99 x 10⁻¹⁸J

What is the purpose of the inert electrode?
azamat
The purpose for the "inert electrode" is quite obvious and also, it's spelled in it's name it's self. The purpose for this would be the first, "conduct electrons". This would be the purpose of this inert electrode, to conduct that electrons at the give time.

<span>A.to create a solution of anions
B. to create a solution of cations
C.to conduct electrons
D. to conduct protons</span>

A drop of vinegar ( a weak acid ) is placed on a sample of each of the materials below. Which will show the most active reaction
professor190 [17]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Marble is also known as calcium carbonate and its chemical formula is CaCO_{3}.

When it combines with vinegar then it results in the formation of calcium acetate which is a water soluble compound along with the release of carbon dioxide which occurs in the form of bubbles and water.

The reaction is as follows.

    CaCO_{3} + CH_{3}COOH \rightarrow Ca(CH_{3}COOH)_{2} + H_{2}O + CO_{2}

Whereas vinegar being a weak acid will not react with glass, copper and steel.

Select the correct use of the compound tms in nmr spectroscopy.a. it is a signal-to-noise enhancerb. it is an internal standard
SpyIntel [72]

TMS stands for Tetramethylsilane

Formula : Si(CH₃)₄

It is used as internal standard for chemical shift

In TMS all the four methyl groups are similar thus all the 12 hydrogen are chemically equivalent. They will show proton NMR at same level and which will appear as a singlet.

We have defined this singlet to be as reference set as zero.

Generally the other organic compounds show chemical shift downfield.So have positive chemical shift with respect to TMS shift.
