Answer:

C. A neutron turns into a proton

D. An electron is ejected from the nucleus

Explanation:

Beta decay is a type of the three major types of decays, others being alpha decay and gamma decay.
During a beta decay the atomic number of an atom increases by one while the mass number remains the same.
Beta decay may be classified as; an electron emission, positron emission and electron capture.
<em><u>During electron emission an energetic electron is emitted from the nucleus, together with an antineutrino and a neutron in the nucleus turns into a proton. </u></em>

How many grams of NH3 can be prepared from the synthesis of 77.3 grams of nitrogen and 14.2 grams of hydrogen gas?

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

80.41 g

Explanation:

Data Given:

Mass of Nitrogen (N₂) = 77.3 g

Mass of Hydrogen (H₂) = 14.2 g

many grams of NH₃ = ?

Solution:

First we look at the balanced synthesis reaction

N₂ + 3 H₂ ------—> 2 NH₃

1 mol 3 mol

As 1 mole of Nitrogen react with 3 mole of hydrogen

Convert moles to mass

molar mass of N₂ = 2(14) = 28 g/mol

molar mass of H₂ = 2(1) + 2 g/mol

Now

N₂ + 3 H₂ ------—> 2 NH₃

1 mol (28 g/mol) 3 mol(2g/mol)

28 g 6 g

28 grams of N₂ react with 6 g of H₂

if 28 grams of N₂ produces 6 g of H₂ so how many grams of N₂ will react with 14.2 g of H₂.

Apply Unity Formula

28 g of N₂ ≅ 6 g of H₂

X g of N₂ ≅ 14.2 g of H₂

Do cross multiply

X g of N₂ = 28 g x 14.2 g / 6 g

X g of N₂ = 66.3 g

As we have given with 77. 3 g of N₂ but from this calculation we come to know that 66.3 g will react with 14.2 g of hydrogen and the remaining 10 g N₂ will be in excess

So, Hydrogen is limiting reactant in this reaction and the amount of NH₃ depends on the amount of hydrogen.

Now

To find mass of NH₃ we will do following calculation

Look at the reaction

As we Know

N₂ + 3 H₂ ------—> 2 NH₃

6 g 2 mol

So, 6 g of hydrogen gives 2 moles of NH₃, then how many moles of NH₃ will be produce by 14.2 g

Apply Unity Formula

6 g of H₂ ≅ 2 mol of NH₃

14.2 g of H₂ ≅ X mol of NH₃

Do cross multiply

X mol of NH₃= 14.2 g x 2 mol / 6 g

X mol of NH₃ = 4.73 mol

So, 14.2 g of hydrogen gives 4.73 moles of NH₃

Now

Convert moles of NH₃ to mass

Formula will be used

mass in grams = no. of moles x molar mass . . . . . . (2)

Molar mass of NH₃

Molar mass of NH₃ = 14 + 3(1)

Molar mass of NH₃ = 14 + 3 = 17 g/mol

Put values in equation 2

mass in grams = 4.73 mole x 17 g/mol

mass in grams = 80.41 g

mass of NH₃= 80.41 g

Like many other organic solvents we will use this semester, ethanol is flammable and caution needs to be exercised when heating

laiz [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A flammable solvent refers to a solvent that catches fire easily. The precautions to be taken when working with flammable solvents are;

1) heat the solvent at a low to medium hot plate setting.

2) if you need to boil the solvent, use a condenser rather than a flask or beaker without a cover.

3) make sure that the hotplate is larger than the vessel containing the mixture that is being heated.

4) do not use strong oxidizing agents

State whether each of the following will be more soluble in water or hexane i. Butane ii. Ch3cooh iii. K2so4

ioda

Explanation:

Solubility is determined by the principle , "like dissolves like" .

i.e. , if a compound is polar then it will dissolve in a polar compound only , and

if a compound is non - polar then it will dissolve in a non - polar compound only .

Hence , from the question ,

Water is a polar molecule , and hence it will dissolve only the polar molecule , i.e. , from the given options the polar molecule is , iii. K₂SO₄

Hexane , is a non - polar molecules , hence it will dissolve only the non polar molecule , i.e. , from the given options the non polar molecule is i. Butane .
