The particle that decomposes to produce beta radiation is NEUTRON.

The neutron decays (udd) into a proton (uud), an electron and an anti-neutrino. This process is known as neutron beta decay and here is how it happens.

The neutron that has a charge of zero is made up of up and two down quarks. One of the down quarks is transformed into an up quark. Since the down quark has a -1/3 charge and the up quarks has a positive charge of 2/3, it immediately follows that this process is mediated by a virtual W particle which carries away a negative charge. The new up quark rebounds away from the emitted W-. Then comes the formation of a proton. An electron and antineutrino them emerge from the virtual W-boson. The proton, electron, and antineutrino will finally move away from one another,

Find the volume of an object that has a density of 3.14 g/mL and a mass of 52.9 g.
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>16.8 mL</h2>

Explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

volume =  \frac{mass}{density}  \\

From the question

mass of object = 52.9 g

density = 3.14 g/mL

The volume of the object is

volume =  \frac{52.9}{3.14}  \\   = 16.847133757...

We have the final answer as

<h3>16.8 mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

A gas sample has a temperature of 19 °C with an unknown volume. The
andreev551 [17]

Answer: 373 mL

Explanation:

Since there is no change in pressure, the formula: V / T = V / T can be used.

However, you must first convert the temperatures to Kelvin by adding 273 to them:

(19 + 273) = 292K and (90 + 273) = 363K.

Now, plug in: V / 292 = 464 / 363 → V = 373 mL :)

Consider this reaction:

Answer : The oxidation state of Mg in Mg(s) is (0).

Explanation :

Oxidation number or oxidation state : It represent the number of electrons lost or gained by the atoms of an element in a compound.

Oxidation numbers are generally written with the sign (+) and (-) first and then the magnitude.

Rules for Oxidation Numbers are :

The oxidation number of a free element is always zero.

The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.

The oxidation number of  Hydrogen (H)  is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electronegative elements.

The oxidation number of  oxygen (O)  in compounds is usually -2.

The oxidation number of a Group 17 element in a binary compound is -1.

The sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in a neutral compound is zero.

The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.

The given chemical reaction is:

Mg(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow Mg(OH)_2(s)+H_2(g)

In the given reaction, the oxidation state of Mg in Mg(s) is (0) because it is a free element and the oxidation state of Mg in Mg(OH)_2 is (+2).

Hence, the oxidation state of Mg in Mg(s) is (0).

Consider the reaction.
N76 [4]

Answer: m = 50 g ZnSO4

Explanation: First is convert the moles of Zn to the moles of ZnSO4 by having their mole ratio which is 2:2 based from the balanced equation. Next is convert the moles of ZnSO4 to mass using its molar mass.

0.311 mole Zn x 2 moles ZnSO4 / 2 moles Zn

= 0.311 moles ZnSO4

0.311 moles ZnSO4 x 161 g ZnSO4 / 1 mole ZnSO4

= 50 ZnSO4
