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.

Answer:

-191.7°C

Explanation:

P . V = n . R . T

That's the Ideal Gases Law. It can be useful to solve the question.

We replace data:

2.5 atm . 8 L = 3 mol . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . T°

(2.5 atm . 8 L) / (3 mol . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K) = T°

T° = 81.3 K

We convert T° from K to C°

81.3K - 273 = -191.7°C

How did atomic theory develop and change?
Agata [3.3K]
The atomic theory started with Democritus, who stated that all space was made up of indivisible particles called atoms, though Aristotles refuted that statement by saying that matter didn’t exist, he believed in the four elements: air, fire, water, and earth. Then came Dalton, who revived Democritus’s ideas and proposed the law of multiple proportions, he revived the idea that all space was made of atoms. Soon after, J.J Thompson discovered the electron by using cathode rays. Max Planck developed the quantum theory by stating that electromagnetic radiation could only be emitted in quantized form (later called quanta). Einstein furthered this idea with studies of light. Robert Millikan eventually measured the charge of a single electron. Ernest Rutherford used a gold foil experiment and discovered the nuclei, considering his alpha particles were deflected by some object. Niels Bohr made the atomic model with electrons spinning around an atom’s nucleus, Erwin Schrodinger describes how electrons have wave like properties. James Chadwick then discovers the neutron!

Two objects of the same mass are moving at the same velocity. You give
vladimir1956 [14]
I would imagine they’d be equal.
F = ma
We can treat mass and force as constants because they do not change throughout both systems and they are the same on both systems. That would mean the acceleration would be the same for both systems.

An explanation of this could be the two forces are acting in different directions, so one is positively accelerating the object and the other is negatively accelerating it
