Answer:

Explanation:

Electron capture is a form of beta decay in which the nucleus of a radionuclide captures an electron. In the case of mercury-201, the equation below illustrates that

²⁰¹₈₀Hg + ⁰₋₁e   ⇒  ²⁰¹₇₉Au

As can be seen above, the electron capture reduces the atomic number by one unit leading to the production of a new radioisotope (because of the change in atomic number).

How do I convert/scale a recipe using a t chart
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Obtain the conversion factor by dividing the required yield (from Step 2) by the old yield (from Step 1). That is, conversion factor = (required yield)/(recipe yield) or conversion factor = what you NEED ÷ what you HAVE.

The average mass of a kernel of popcorn is 0.125 g if one pound equals 16 oz, and 1 oz equals 28.3 g then how many kernels of po
Nikitich [7]
I won't give the answer, but here's the process: You have the weight of the object (0.500 lbs), and you want to convert that into the number of kernels. You are given the fact that 1 pound = 16 oz, and 1 oz=28.3 grams. So it should be apparent that you need to convert pounds to ounces first and then convert ounces to grams. Now that you the grams, you can easily figure out how many kernels there are because .125 grams equals the weight of one kernel.
