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).

What amount of heat absorbs 50 g of steel (ce = 0.115 cal / g. ° C) that

does its temperature vary by 25 ° C?

Answer:

143.75cal

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of steel  = 50g

Specific heat capacity of the steel  = 0.115cal/g°C

Temperature  = 25°C

Unknown:

Amount of heat = ?

Solution:

The amount of heat to cause this temperature change is dependent on mass and specific heat capacity of the substance.

  Amount of heat  = m C (ΔT)

m is the mass

c is the specific heat capacity

ΔT is the temperature change

 Now insert the parameters and solve;

  Amount of heat  = 50 x 0.115 x 25

  Amount of heat  = 143.75cal
