To determine:
The process of transformation of
(a)
Explanation of Solution
Consider the transformation:
Thus, balancing the atomic number on both sides, we get that unknown particle ejected has atomic number of
(b)
To determine:
The process of transformation of
(b)
Explanation of Solution
Atomic numbers of Cs and Ba are 55 and 56, respectively.
Consider the transformation:
Thus, balancing the atomic number on both sides, we get that unknown particle ejected has atomic number of
(c)
To determine:
The process of transformation of
(c)
Explanation of Solution
Atomic numbers of K and Ar are 19 and 18, respectively.
Consider the transformation:
Thus, balancing the atomic number on both sides, we get that unknown particle ejected has atomic number of
(d)
To determine:
The process of transformation of
(d)
Explanation of Solution
Atomic numbers of Zr and Nb are 40 and 41, respectively.
Consider the transformation:
Thus, balancing the atomic number on both sides, we get that the unknown particle ejected has atomic number of
Therefore, if one of the species from the radioactive decay equation is missing, it can be determined by balancing atomic numbers and atomic mass numbers. Thus, the type of radioactive decay process can be determined if the atomic mass and atomic number of transforming nuclei is given.

EBK CHEMISTRY FOR ENGINEERING STUDENTS,
- 2) (4 pt) After the reaction was completed, the student collected the following data. Crude product data is the data collected after the reaction is finished, but before the product is purified. "Pure" product data is the data collected after attempted purification using recrystallization. Student B's data: Crude product data "Pure" product data after recrystallization Crude mass: 0.93 g grey solid Crude mp: 96-106 °C Crude % yield: Pure mass: 0.39 g white solid Pure mp: 111-113 °C Pure % yield: a) Calculate the crude and pure percent yields for the student's reaction. b) Summarize what is indicated by the crude and pure melting points.arrow_forwardDon't used hand raitingarrow_forwardDon't used hand raitingarrow_forward
