Loss of a beta particle

1 answer:

3 0

When a beta particle is emitted from the nucleus the nucleus has one more proton and one less neutron. This means the atomic mass number remains unchanged and the atomic number increases by 1.
We can also say that beta decay is a type of radioactive decay in which a proton is transformed into a neutron inside an atomic nucleus.

a) converts a neutron into a proton

A bottle of wine contains 12.8% ethanol by volume. The density of ethanol (CH3OH) is 0.789 g/cm. Calculate the concentratic etha

Scrat [10]

Answer : The mass percent of ethanol is, 10.38 % and the molality of ethanol is, 2.52 mole/kg

Explanation :

In wine, the solute and solvent are ethanol and water respectively.

Given :

12.8 % ethanol by volume means 12.8 mL ethanol present in 100 mL solution.

Volume of ethanol = 12.8 mL

Volume of solution = 100 mL

Volume of water = 100 - 12.8 = 87.2 mL

Density of ethanol = $0.789g/cm^3=0.789g/mL$

Density of water = 1 g/mL

Now we have to calculate the mass of ethanol and water.

$\text{Mass of ethanol}=\text{Density of ethanol}\times \text{Volume of ethanol}=0.789g/mL\times 12.8mL=10.1g$

and,

$\text{Mass of water}=\text{Density of water}\times \text{Volume of water}=1g/mL\times 87.2mL=87.2g$

Now we have to calculate the total mass of 100 mL of wine.

Total mass of 100 mL of wine = 10.1 + 87.2 = 97.3 g

Now we have to calculate the mass percent of ethanol.

$\text{Mass of percent of ethanol}=\frac{\text{Mass of ethanol}}{\text{Total mass of solution}}\times 100$

$\text{Mass of percent of ethanol}=\frac{10.1g}{97.3g}\times 100=10.38\%$

The mass percent of ethanol is, 10.38 %

Now we have to calculate the molality.

$Molality=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Mass of solvent}}$

Molar mass of ethanol = 46 g/mole

$Molality=\frac{10.1g\times 1000}{46g/mole\times 87.2g}=2.52mole/kg$

The molality of ethanol is, 2.52 mole/kg

92 grams of ethanol,C2H5OH, is dissolved in 1 liter of solution. Determine the molarity (M)

const2013 [10]

Answer: 1.997 M

Explanation:

molarity = moles of solute/liters of solution or $M = \frac{mol}{L}$

first we have to find our moles of solute (mol), which you can find by dividing the mass of solute by molar mass of solute

mass of solute: 92 g

molar mass of solute: 46.08 g/mol

let's plug it in:

$\frac{92 g}{46.08 g/mol} = 1.997 mol$

next, we plug it into our original equation:

$\frac{1.997mol}{1 L} = 1.997 M$
