The answer is: D. Sodium (Na).

Beta decay is radioactive decay in which a beta ray and a neutrino are emitted from an atomic nucleus.

There are two types of beta decay: beta minus and beta plus.

In beta plus decay (atomic number Z is decreased by one), a proton is converted to a neutron and positron and an electron neutrino, so mass number does not change.

In this example, magnesium (atomic number 12) is converted to dosium (atomic number 11).

A 32.5 g piece of aluminum (which has a specific heat capacity of 0.921 J/g°C) is heated to 82.4°C and dropped into a calorimete
N76 [4]

Answer:

The mass of water = 219.1 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of aluminium = 32.5 grams

specific heat capacity aluminium = 0.921 J/g°C

Temperature = 82.4 °C

Temperature of water = 22.3 °C

The final temperature = 24.2 °C

Step 2: Calculate the mass of water

Heat lost = heat gained

Qlost = -Qgained

Qaluminium = -Qwater

Q = m*c*ΔT

m(aluminium)*c(aluminium)*ΔT(aluminium) = -m(water)*c(water)*ΔT(water)

⇒with m(aluminium) = the mass of aluminium = 32.5 grams

⇒with c(aluminium) = the specific heat of aluminium = 0.921 J/g°C

⇒with ΔT(aluminium) = the change of temperature of aluminium = 24.2 °C - 82.4 °C =  -58.2 °C

⇒with m(water) = the mass of water = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with c(water) = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒with ΔT(water) = the change of temperature of water = 24.2 °C - 22.3 °C = 1.9 °C

32.5 * 0.921 * -58.2 = -m * 4.184 * 1.9

-1742.1 = -7.95m

m = 219.1 grams

The mass of water = 219.1 grams

Relate dark matter to the development of the universe after the Big Bang. In 3-5 sentences, speculate on how the development of
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Without dark matter galaxies would loose an extreme amount of gas required to create stars.

Without dark matter the universe wont have as many galaxies clumped together forming larger versions of those galaxies. This would cause a change in the structure of the "skeleton" of the web.

(Hope this can help, I didn't do exactly as it is said to because that is your job)

:)

Explanation:

Forbes gives somewhat of an explanation if you are curious.

175 mL of Cl2 gas is held in a flexible vessel at
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

V₂ = 15.6 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 175 mL  (0.175 L)

Initial pressure = 1 atm

Initial temperature = 273 K

Final temperature = -5°C (-5+273 = 268 K)

Final volume = ?

Final pressure = 1.16 kpa (1.16/101=0.011 atm)

Formula:  

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂  

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

P₂ = Final pressure

V₂ = Final volume

T₂ = Final temperature

Solution:

V₂ = P₁V₁ T₂/ T₁ P₂  

V₂ = 1 atm × 0.175 L × 268 K / 273 K × 0.011 atm

V₂ = 46.9 L / 3.003

V₂ = 15.6 L
