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).

How many moles of chromium(iii) nitrate are produced when chromium reacts with 0.85 moles of lead(iv) nitrate to produce chromiu
Alexxandr [17]
The  moles  of  chromium (iii)  nitrate  produced  is  calculated  as   follows

write  the  equation  for  reaction

 3  Pb(NO3)2  +  2 Cr  =  2 Cr(NO3)3  +  3  Pb

by  use  of  mole  ratio  between  Pb(NO3)2  to  Cr(NO3)3  which  is  3  :  2  the  moles  of  Cr(NO3)3  is therefore  
=  0.85  x2  /3  =  0.57   moles

An ice cube is dropped into a glass of milk at 20°C. Which statement explains the transfer of kinetic energy (KE)?
hoa [83]

Answer:

Because milk has higher KE than ice, KE is transferred from the milk to the molecules of ice.

Explanation:

The best statement that expresses the transfer of kinetic energy(K.E) is that kinetic energy is transferred from the milk to the ice.

Kinetic energy is form of energy due to motion of the particles of a medium. In this regard, we are dealing with heat energy.

  • Heat energy is dissipated from a body at higher temperature to one at a lower temperature.
  • Ice is at a lower temperature which is 0°C
  • Heat will be transferred in form of thermal energy from the body at higher temperature to one with a lower temperature.
  • This is from the milk to the molecules of ice.

the half life of the radioactive element strontium-90 is 29.1 years. If 16 grams of strontium-90 are initially present, how many
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

4 g after 58.2 years

0.0156 After 291 years

Explanation:

Given data:

Half-life of strontium-90 = 29.1 years

Initially present: 16g

mass present after 58.2 years =?

Mass present after 291 years =?

Solution:

Formula:

how much mass remains =1/ 2n (original mass) ……… (1)

Where “n” is the number of half lives

to find n

For 58.2 years

n = 58.2 years /29.1 years

n= 2

or  291 years

n = 291 years /29.1 years

n= 10

Put values in equation (1)

Mass after 58.2 years

mass remains =1/ 22 (16g)

mass remains =1/ 4 (16g)

 mass remains = 4g

Mass after 58.2 years

mass remains =1/ 210 (16g)

mass remains =1/ 1024 (16g)

mass remains = 0.0156g
