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

Chemistry
1 answer:
scoundrel [369]2 years ago

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.

nikklg [1K]
The reaction between the reactants would be:

CH₃NH₂ + HCl ↔ CH₃NH₃⁺ + Cl⁻

Let the conjugate acid undergo hydrolysis. Then, apply the ICE approach.

             CH₃NH₃⁺ + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + CH₃NH₂
I                0.11                       0             0
C               -x                          +x           +x
E            0.11 - x                     x             x

Ka = [H₃O⁺][CH₃NH₂]/[CH₃NH₃⁺]

Since the given information is Kb, let's find Ka in terms of Kb.

Ka = Kw/Kb, where Kw = 10⁻¹⁴

So,
Ka = 10⁻¹⁴/5×10⁻⁴ = 2×10⁻¹¹ = [H₃O⁺][CH₃NH₂]/[CH₃NH₃⁺]
2×10⁻¹¹ = [x][x]/[0.11-x]
Solving for x,
x = 1.483×10⁻⁶ = [H₃O⁺]

Since pH = -log[H₃O⁺],
pH = -log(1.483×10⁻⁶)
<em>pH = 5.83</em>

What is the formula for CO3 2- and Al3+ ?
Goryan [66]

Answer is: formula is Al₂(CO₃)₃.

Aluminium carbonate (Al₂(CO₃)₃) has neutral charge. Because aluminium cation has positive charge 3+ and carbonate anion has negative charge 2-, for right chemical formula, we need two aluminium cations and three carbonate anion:

charge of the molecule = 2 · (3+) + 3 · (-2).

charge of the molecule = 0.

How can air pollution affect plants?
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

C. air pollution absorbs carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide's role in the greenhouse effect is a major contributor to air pollution. Radiation and heat emanating from the earth's surface need to be released out into the atmosphere. But because carbon dioxide levels are so high, there is an ozone effect on the ground level.
