Answer:
Phosphorus-28 undergoes beta-minus decay to produce
- an electron,
- a Silicon-28 nuclei, and
- an electron antineutrino.
Explanation:
In simple words, when a nucleus undergoes beta-minus decay, a neutron is converted to a proton. An electron and an electron antineutrino will be released.
.
One way to tell whether a neutron is converted to a proton, but not vice versa, is to check the sum charges on the two sides of this equation.
- Left-hand side: 0. Neutron is neutral.
- Right-hand side: 1 + (-1) = 0. Each proton carries a charge of +1. Each electron (beta-minus particle) carries a charge of -1. Antineutrinos are neutral.
The charges on the two sides of this equation is the same. Hence this nuclear equation is possible (but not necessarily correct; however, if the proton and the neutron are in the wrong place the charge won't even be the same.)
Since the mass number of a proton and a neutron are both 1, the overall mass number of the atom will stay the same.
The atomic number is the number of protons in each atom. That number determines the symbol and the chemical properties of the atom. When one neutron in an atom is converted to a proton, the atomic number of the atom will increase by 1.
The atomic number of the daughter nucleus, silicon, is 14. It takes a parent nucleus with atomic number to produce a silicon atom. Refer to a modern periodic table. Atomic number
corresponds to the element aluminum.
Also, the mass number of the daughter nucleus is 28. Since the mass number would stay the same in a beta decay, the mass number of the parent nucleus would also be 28. In other words, it takes an aluminum-28 atom to undergo beta-decay to produce a silicon-28 atom.

0.3268 moles of PC15 can be produced from 58.0 g of Cl₂ (and excess
P4)
<h3>How to calculate moles?</h3>The balanced chemical equation is
The mass of clorine is m() = 58.0 g
The amount of clorine is n() = m(
)/M(
) = 58/70.906 = 0.817 mol
The stoichiometric reaction,shows that
10 moles of yield 4 moles of
;
0.817 of yield x moles of
n() = 4*0.817/10 = 0.3268 mol
