Which missing item would complete this beta decay reaction? PLATO

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer: $_{-1}^0\beta$

Explanation:

General representation of an element is given as: $_Z^A\textrm{X}$

where,

Z represents Atomic number

A represents Mass number

X represents the symbol of an element

Beta decay : In this process, a neutron gets converted into a proton and an electron releasing a beta-particle. The beta particle released carries a charge of -1 units.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta$

The given reaction would be represented as:

$_{43}^{98}\textrm{Tc}\rightarrow_{44}^{98}\textrm{Pb}+_{-1}^0\beta$

Why did hurricane Katrina slow down at data point 7 ?

adell [148]

Answer:

Because the hot air from the equator is balance with the cold air from the polar region, meaning the temperature is the right degree, therefore it causes the slowing down of that hurricane.

Magnesium has an atomic mass of 24.3. there are two isotopes of magnesium - one contains 12 neutrons and the other contains 13 n

Juli2301 [7.4K]

So what we know:
-Atomic Mass = Protons + Neutrons
-Atomic Number is the number of protons

Magnesium's atomic number is 12, so the natural occurring isotope for magnesium is Mg-12 (12 protons and 12 neutrons). Added up we have an atomic mass of 24 amu. Which means if we added one neutron in Mg-13, our atomic mass would be 25 amu.

We can use the equation:
(amu of isotope 1)x + (amu of isotop 2)(x-1) = Average atomic mass
where isotope 1 is the fractional abundance we're solving for.

Plugged in it looks like this:
24x + 25(1-x) = 24.3

Now to solve for x:
24x + 25 - 25x = 24.3
-x + 25 = 24.3
-x = -.7
x = .7

So in this case, the fractional abundance of Mg-12 would be .7, or 70%.

penicillin. an important antibiotic (antibacterial agent), was discovered accidentally by the scottish bacteriologist alexander

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

mass percent of carbon = 57.78 %

mass percent of hydrogen = 6.40 %

mass percent of nitrogen = 8.96 %

mass percent of oxygen = 20.49 %

mass percent of sulfur = 10.24 %

Explanation:

Given data

Molecular formula = C₁₄H₂₀N₂O₄S

molecular mass (total mass) = 312.39 g/mol

Percentage of carbon = ?

Percentage of hydrogen = ?

Percentage of oxygen = ?

Percentage of nitrogen = ?

Percentage of sulfur = ?

Solution

1st we find out number of moles of each element from the molecular formula

Number of moles of carbon = 14 mol

Number of moles of hydrogen = 20 mol

Number of moles of nitrogen = 2 mol

Number of moles of oxygen = 4 mol

Number of moles of sulfur = 1 mol

Now we find out the mass of each element

as we know that

mass = number of moles × molecular mass

mass of carbon = 14 mol × 12 g/mol

mass of carbon = 168 g

mass of hydrogen = 20 mol × 1 g/mol

mass of hydrogen = 20 g

mass of nitrogen = 2 mol × 14 g/mol

mass of nitrogen = 28 g

mass of oxygen = 4 mol × 16 g/mol

mass of oxygen = 64 g

mass of sulfur = 1 mol × 32 g/mol

mass of sulfur = 32 g

now we find out the mass percent of each element

mass percent = ( mass ÷ total mass ) × 100

mass percent of carbon = ( 168 g ÷ 312.39 g/mol ) × 100

mass percent of carbon = 57.78 %

mass percent of hydrogen = ( 20 g ÷ 312.39 g/mol ) × 100

mass percent of hydrogen = 6.40 %

mass percent of nitrogen = ( 28 g ÷ 312.39 g/mol ) × 100

mass percent of nitrogen = 8.96 %

mass of oxygen =( 64 g ÷ 312.39 g/mol ) × 100

mass percent of oxygen = 20.49 %

mass percent of sulfur = ( 32 g ÷ 312.39 g/mol ) × 100

mass percent of sulfur = 10.24 %

When you apply heat energy to a substance, where does the energy go? Think about the law of conservation of energy.

MAVERICK [17]

The energy is transformed into kinetic energy which makes the substance to move. The law of conservation of energy which is the first law of thermodynamics states that in a closed system energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can change from one form to another
