<h3>The balanced nuclear equation</h3>

₂₇⁶⁰Co ⇒ ₂₈⁶⁰Ni + ₋₁⁰e

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

the beta minus decay of Co-60

Required

The reaction

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

Beta minus : ₋₁e⁰ particles

so the reaction :

Co-60 ⇒ X + beta minus

₂₇⁶⁰Co ⇒ X + ₋₁⁰e

In a nuclear decay reaction, the mass number and atomic number of the left (reactant / decayed) and right (product) sides will be the same

mass number = constant = 60

atomic number = 27 - (- 1) = 28

So the element X = ₂₈⁶⁰Ni

₂₇⁶⁰Co ⇒ ₂₈⁶⁰Ni + ₋₁⁰e

A serving of Frosted Flakes cereal contains 235,000 J of energy. Calculate the change in temperature (ΔT) that would occur if th
timama [110]

The change in temperature (ΔT) : 56.14 ° C

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Cereal energy = 235,000 J

mass of water = 1000 g

Required

the change in temperature (ΔT)

Solution

Heat can be formulated :

Q = m . c . ΔT

c = specific heat for water =  4.186 J / gram ° C

235000 = 1000 . 4.186 . ΔT

\tt \Delta T=\dfrac{235000}{1000\times 4.186}=56.14^oC

how many grams of oxygen gas are needed to produce 10.0 grams of carbon dioxide according to the balanced equation of CH4
Alinara [238K]
Molar mass of :

O2 = 16 * 2 = 32 g/mol

CO2 = 12 + 16 * 2 = 44 g/mol

<span>Balanced chemical equation :
</span>
1 CH4 + 2 O2 = 1 CO2 + 2 H2O
               ↓              ↓
             2 moles     1 mole

2* 32 g O2 ----------> 1* 44 g CO2
     x g O2 ------------> 10.0 g CO2

44 x = 2 * 32*10.0

44 x = 640

x =  \frac{640}{44}

x = 14.54 g of O2
