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).

A student has a 2.123 g sample of a hydrated salt. she heats it to drive off all the water. after heating to constant mass, the
morpeh [17]
The mass of hydrated salt - 2.123 g
mass of anhydrous salt - 1.861 g
mass that has been reduced is the mass of water that has been heated and lost from the compound thereby making the salt anhydrous.
therefore mass of water lost - 2.123 - 1.861 = 0.262 g
number of moles of water lost - 0.262 g / 18 g/mol = 0.0146 mol 
number of moles of salt - 1.861 g / 380.6 g/mol = 0.00490 mol 
molar ratio of moles of water to moles of salt 
molar ratio = 0.146 mol / 0.00490 mol = 2.98 rounded off to 3
for every 1 mol of salt there are 3 moles of water
therefore empirical formula - Cu₃(PO₄)₂.3H₂O

What is the H+ concentration for an aqueous solution with pOH = 4.01 at 25 ∘C? Express your answer to two significant figures an
EleoNora [17]

I believe pH = -log[H+]

Also, 14 = pH + pOH

Therefore pH = 14 - pOH

pH = 14 - 4.01

pH = 9.99

9.99 = -log[H+]

Solve for H+

Which type of data have elements in common but do not fit into rigid rows and columns in a table?.
Talja [164]

Answer: Semi-structured data is a type of data that has some consistent and definite characteristics. It does not confine into a rigid structure such as that needed for relational databases that which is why  it will not fit into row and columns in a table .
