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

Chemistry

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.

How does a tree speed up erosion? How can it slow erosion down?
GREYUIT [131]
A tree is able to speed up erosion because it break up rocks. This can happen as it’s roots grow through rocks, the water breaks through rocks, etc.
It can slow erosion down because it can act as a barrier to the elements that erode.

Study the reaction. NO(g) ⇌ 12N2(g) + 12O2(g) ΔH = −90.3 kJ Which statement about the reaction is correct? A) The reverse reacti
lozanna [386]

Answer:

The forward reaction is an exothermic reaction.

Explanation:

An exothermic reaction is one in which energy is released, usually in the form of heat hence the enthalpy of the reaction is negative. When a reaction exothermic, the energy of the reactants is greater than the energy of the products hence the excess energy is given out as heat. The reactants lie at a higher energy level in the reaction profile compared to the products.

When we look at the reaction given in the question, NO(g) ⇌ 12N2(g) + 12O2(g) ΔH = −90.3 kJ , we can easily see from the thermochemical reaction that the forward reaction is exothermic, energy is released by the reaction system as evidenced by the negative enthalpy of reaction.
