Chapter 20, Problem 20.38SP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

We have to show the 2 possible pathways to show how T43100c decays to M42100o

Concept Introduction:

We see that the nuclear decay process is one where the product nuclei has atomic number 1 less than the starting nuclei while the mass number does not change. There are 2 decays that give rise to such products:

Positron emissions are processes that occur when a nucleus emits a particle with same mass as electron but has a positive charge.
On the other hand electron capture is a process where the nucleus absorbs an electron from the nearest lying orbital (K or L) and hence decreases its atomic number by 1.

Blurred answer

In reactions whose kinetic equation is v = k[A]m, the rate coefficient k is always positive. Is this correct?
If the concentration of A decreases exponentially with time, what is the rate equation? (A). -d[A] (B). dt d[A] = k[A] e-kt dt
Given the first-order reaction: aA → products. State its kinetic equation.
