₈O¹⁸ + ₁¹H(proton) ⇒ ₉F¹⁸ + ₀n¹(neutron) + ₀γ⁰ (gamma)

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Fluorine-18

Oxygen-18

Required

Nuclear equation

Solution

Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,  

  • alpha α particles ₂He⁴
  • beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
  • gamma particles ₀γ⁰
  • positron particles ₁e⁰
  • neutron ₀n¹

The principle used is the sum of the atomic number and mass number before and after the decay reaction is the same

The reaction

₈O¹⁸ + ₁¹H(proton) ⇒ ₉F¹⁸ + ₀n¹(neutron) + ₀γ⁰ (gamma)

Correct way for calculating atomic mass
kolezko [41]

Answer:

mass number = protons + neutrons.

Explanation:

Together, the number of protons and the number of neutrons determine an element's mass number: mass number = protons + neutrons. If you want to calculate how many neutrons an atom has, you can simply subtract the number of protons, or atomic number, from the mass number.

what is the concentration of each of these solutions expressed as a percent sucrose by mass? a) 17g sucrose mixing in 183g water
storchak [24]
A) mass of solute = 17 g

mass of solvent = 183 g

% = mass of solute / total   x 100

% = 17 / ( 17 + 183 ) x 100

% = ( 17 / 200 ) x 100

% = 0.085 x 100

= 8.5 %
________________________________

b) mass of solute = 30.0 g

mass of solvent =300.0 g

% = mass of solute / total   x 100

% = 30.0 / ( 30.0 + 300.0 ) x 100

% = (30.0 / 330.0 ) x 100

% = 0.090 x 100

When you sweat a lot the water content of your blood can drop. Your cells have to maintain a certain level of water and salt in
inn [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are key organs and system that assist in ensuring the body maintains homeostasis in the case of water-salt balance.

The excretory system: When one sweats, a lot of water content of the blood can drop (this is what causes the individual to be thirsty). In order to maintain a certain water-salt balance, the excretory system passes some salt out of the body in the form of urine (this is the reason the urine is usually yellowish but small in volume during the summer).

Endocrine system: When water content of the blood drops, vasopressin (also called antidiuretic hormone) is released into the bloodstream stimulating the kidneys to conserve water and release less urine (as said earlier). However, if the body is hydrated, less vasopressin is released and more water is passed in the urine.
