The type of nuclear decay an unstable nucleus will undergo depends on its ratio of neutrons to protons. The radioisotope cobalt-

65 has a ratio of neutrons to protons of 1.41, which is too high for a nucleus of this size. What nuclear changes could reduce this ratio

Answer:

Explanation:

In cobalt - 65 ,

no of protons is 27 ( p )

no of neutron = 65 - 27 ( n )

= 38

n / p ratio

=  38 / 27

= 1.41

If case of emission of alpha particle

no of proton p = 27 - 2 = 25

no of neutrons = 38 - 2 = 36

n / p ratio = 36 / 25

= 1.44

So it increases

In case of emission of beta particle

No of neutron n = 38 - 1 = 37

No of proton = 27 + 1 = 28

n / p ratio = 37 / 28

= 1.32

Hence ratio decreases.

Hence beta ray decay will result in decrease in n / p ratio.

Using the mass of the proton 1.0073 amu and assuming its diameter is 1.0×10−15m, calculate the density of a proton in g/cm3.
icang [17]

Answer : 3.2 X 10^{15} g/cm^{3}

Explanation :  To convert amu i.e. atomic mass unit in grams we have the conversion factor as 1 amu = 1.66054 X 10^{-24} g

we know the mass of the proton is 1.0073 amu

So converting it into grams we have to multiply;

1.0073 amu X  1.66054 X 10^{-24} g/amu = 1.673 X 10^{-24} g

Now, Volume = 1/6πd³ as diameter is given as 1.0 X 10^{-15} m converting it to cm will require to multiply with 100

∴ Volume  = 1/6π (1.0 X 10^{-15}mX 100 cm / 1 m)^{3}

Hence, volume =  5.236 X 10^{-40} cm^{3}

Therefore, Density = mass / volume

∴ Density =  1.673 X 10^{-24} g / 5.236 X 10^{-40} cm^{3}

Therefore, Density will be 3.2 X 10^{15} g/cm^{3}.

Functional group and bond hybridization of vanillin
lana66690 [7]

Vanillin is the common name for 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzaldehyde.

See attached figure for the structure.

Vanillin have 3 functional groups:

1) aldehyde group:  R-HC=O, in which the carbon is double bonded to oxygen

2) phenolic hydroxide group: R-OH, were the hydroxyl group is bounded to a carbon from the benzene ring

3) ether group: R-O-R, were hydrogen is bounded through sigma bonds to carbons

Now for the hybridization we have:

The carbon atoms involved in the benzene ring and the red carbon atom (from the aldehyde group) have a <u>sp²</u> hybridization because they are involved in double bonds.

The carbon atom from the methoxy group (R-O-CH₃) and the blue oxygen's have a  <u>sp³</u>  hybridization because they are involved only in single bonds.

When 24 mol of methanol and 15 mol of oxygen combine in the combustion reaction, 2 ch3oh(
umka21 [38]
The balanced equation for combustion is as follows;
2CH₃OH + 3O₂ ---> 2CO₂ + 4H₂O
The stoichiometry of CH₃OH to O₂ is 2:3
the limiting reagent is the reactant that is fully consumed during the reaction. The amount of product formed is directly proportional to the amount of limiting reactant produced. The excess reagent is the reactant that is provided in excess and is not fully used up, there will be an amount of this reagent remaining after the reaction.
If methanol is the limiting reactant,
If 2 mol of methanol reacts with 3 moles of O₂
Then 24 mol of methanol reacts with - 3/2 x 24 = 36 mol of O₂ should be present
But only 15 mol of O₂ is present, therefore O₂ is the limiting reactant and methanol is in excess.
3 mol of O₂ reacts with 2 mol of CH₃OH 
then 15 mol of O₂ reacts with 2/3 x 15 = 10 mol of CH₃OH

Excess reactant is methanol, 10 mol are used up therefore 24 - 10 mol = 14 mol are remaining at the end of the reaction
