Answer is: beta decay.

Nuclear reaction: ⁴⁰K → ⁴⁰Ca + e⁻.

Beta decay is radioactive decay in which a beta ray and a neutrino are emitted from an atomic nucleus.  

There are two types of beta decay: beta minus and beta plus.  

In beta minus decay, neutron is converted to a proton and an electron and an electron antineutrino.

In this nuclear reaction, potassium (atomic number 19) changes to calcium (atomic number 20), atomic number Z is increased by one.

The decay process that is demonstrated by the equation above would be a beta decay. This type of radioactive decay involves the emission of a beta particle. It happens when one of the protons is transformed in the other. The beta particle here is represented by <span>0 -1e.</span>

babymother [125]

A 1. 30 m solution of the weak acid ha is created. if the ka of the weak acid is 3. 06×10−9, the pH of the solution is 3.71.

Firstly we will get the equilibrium concentration, we will write the ICE chart for the reaction.

HA ------ (H+) + (A-)

1.30 0 0

1.30-x x x

Now,

the equilibrium expression can be given as

Ka = [H+] [A-]/[HA]

3. 06×10−9 = x^2/(1.30-x)

x = 1.99 × 10^(-4)

Therefore, the concentration of [H+] is 1.99 × 10^(-4).

<h3>Calculation of pH</h3>

pH = -log[H+]

pH = -log(1.99 × 10^(-4))

pH = 4-0.29

pH = 3.71

Thus, we find that the value pH of the solution is 3.71.

What is the mass of a piece of iron that releases 179.85 joules of heat as it cools from 51.29 degrees Celsius to 31.42 degrees
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

20.11 g.

Explanation:

What is given?

c (specific heat of iron) = 0.450 J/g °C.

Q (heat energy) = 179.85 J.

ΔT (change of temperature) = |31.42 °C - 51.29 °C| = 19.87 °C.

What do we need? Mass of iron (m)

Step-by-step solution:

Let's see the formula of specific heat:

c=\frac{Q}{m\cdot\Delta T}

Where c is specific heat, Q is heat energy, m is mass and ΔT is the change of temperature.

We just have to solve for 'm' to find the mass of iron and replace the given data that we have, like this:

m=\frac{Q}{c\cdot\Delta T}=\frac{179.85\text{ J}}{0.450\text{ }\frac{J}{g\cdot\degree C}\cdot19.87\degree C}=20.11\text{ g.}

The mass of the iron would be 20.11 g.
