What is the equation for when an iron -53 goes through alpha decay and beta decay

Chemistry
1 answer:
Semenov [28]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

β decay is a process in which a nucleus emits an electron.

The nuclear symbol for a β particle is

l

0

-1

e

.

In any nuclear equation, the sum of the subscripts (atomic numbers,

Z

) and the sum of the superscripts (atomic masses,

M

) must be equal on each side of the equation.

For the β decay of iodine 131, we have

131

53

I

→

l

M

Z

X

+

l

0

-1

e

Hence

131

=

M

+

0

, so

M

=

131

53

=

Z - 1

, so

Z

=

53

+

1

=

54

The element

X

with

Z = 54

is

Xe

.

So the equation is

131

53

I

→

131

54

Xe

+

l

0

-1

e

Note that in β decay, the product has the same mass number but an atomic number that has increased by 1.

Nady [450]

Answer:

Gaps are produced in the light spectra that correspond to wavelengths of absorbed photons.

Explanation:

When electrons in atoms absorb energy, they move from a lower energy level to a higher energy level. With time, they revert to the their original energy state emitting a photon of light of appropriate wavelength.

The absorbed photons do not show up in the spectrum. They appear as dark lines in the spectrum. Hence, the absorption spectrum is the exact inverse of the emission spectrum. The  dark lines in the spectrum indicates that the colors that ought to occupied those points there have been absorbed.

Consider the reaction H2SO4 + 2 NaOH -> Na2SO4 + 2H2O. In an acid-base tritration, the stoichiometric point happens when 43.4
Dvinal [7]
            moles NaOH = c · V = 0.2753 mmol/mL · 43.44 mL = 11.959032 mmol
            moles H2SO4 = 11.959032 mmol NaOH · 1 mmol H2SO4 / 2 mmol NaOH = 5.979516 mmol
Hence
            [H2SO4]= n/V = 5.979516 mmol / 54.69 mL = 0.1093 M
The answer to this question is  [H2SO4] = 0.1093 M
