Answer to Problem 51UTC

Solution:

Basic Chemistry, Chapter 16, Problem 51UTC , additional homework tip  1

Explanation of Solution

Positron emission happens when a nucleus emits a positron e10 . A proton is turned into a neutron and a positron (with a positive charge) leaves the nucleus. In the following figure, orange spheres represent the protons and grey spheres represent the electrons:

Basic Chemistry, Chapter 16, Problem 51UTC , additional homework tip  2

At the beginning there are 6 protons and 5 neutrons, after the emission there are 5 protons and 6 neutrons.

Conclusion

Thus, positron emission happens when a nucleus emits a positron e10 .

You are a Quality Manager for a very well-known food ingredient company that produces umami powder, and you are responsible for setting specification limits. The net weight (in grams) of bags of unami powder is monitored by taking samples of six bags on an hourly basis during production. The label on every bag reports a contents of 1KG umami powder. The process mean is μ = 1012 g, and when the process is properly adjusted, it varies with σ = 11 g. QUESTION: Your organisation strives to ensure that >99.97% of bags of umami powder produced conforms to specification. What performance process index value is required to achieve this process yield? Calculate PPK using the following formula: Ppk = (USL – mean)/3 σ Ppk = (mean -LSL)/ 3 σ
