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).

Cu+2AgNO
baherus [9]

Answer:

Mass of Ag produced = 64.6 g

Note: the question is, how many grams of Ag is produced from 19.0 g of Cu and 125 g of AgNO3

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction:

Cu + 2AgNO3 ---> 2Ag + Cu(NO3)2

From the equation above, 1 mole of Cu reacts with 2 moles of AgNO3 to produce 2 moles of Ag and 1 mole of Cu(NO3)2.

Molar mass of the reactants and products are; Cu = 63.5 g/mol, Ag = 108 g/mol, AgNO3 = 170 g/mol, Cu(NO3)2 = 187.5 g/mol

To determine, the limiting reactant;

63.5 g of Cu reacts with 170 * 2 g of AgNO3,

19 g of Cu will react with (340 * 19)/63.5 g of AgNO3 =101.7 g of AgNO3.

Since there are 125 g of AgNO3 available for reaction, it is in excess and Cu is the limiting reactant.

63.5 g of Cu reacts to produce 108 * 2 g of Ag,

19 g of Cu will react to produce (216 * 19)/63.5 g of Ag = 64.6 g of Ag.

Therefore mass of Ag produced = 64.6g

Answer:

2H₂ + O₂       →     2H₂O

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

H₂ + O₂       →     H₂O

Balance chemical equation:

2H₂ + O₂       →     2H₂O

Step 1:

H₂ + O₂       →     H₂O

Left hand side                     Right hand side

H = 2                                    H = 2

O = 2                                    O = 1

Step 2:

H₂ + O₂       →     2H₂O

Left hand side                     Right hand side

H = 2                                    H = 4

O = 2                                    O = 2

Step 3:

2H₂ + O₂       →     2H₂O

Left hand side                     Right hand side

H = 4                                    H = 4

O = 2                                    O = 2
