Neon -23 decays in the following way `""_(10)^(23)Nerarr""_(11)^(23)Ne+""_(-1)e^0+barv.` Find the minimum and maximum kinetic energy that the beta particle `(""_(-1)e^(0))` can have . The atomic masses of `""^(23)Ne and ""^(23)Na ` are 22.9945 u and 22.9898 u, respectively.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, atomic masses are given (not the nuclear masses ), but still We can be use them for Calculating the mass defect because mass of electrons get cancelled both sides. Thus, Mass defect
`Deltam = (22.9945-22.9898) = 0.0047u`
`:. Q = (0.0047u) (931.5 MeV//u) = 4.4 MeV`
Hence, the energy of beta poetical can range from 0.to 4.4 Me V.

Calculate the volume, mass and number of molecules of hydrogen liberated when 230 g of sodium reacts with excess of water at STP (atomic masses of Na = 23U, O = 16 U and H = 1U).

Electrolysis is the process in which electrical energy is converted to chemical energy. In electrolyte cell, oxidation takes place at anode and reduction at cathode. Electrode process depends on the electrode taken for electrolysis. Amount of substance liberated at an electrode is directly proportionation to the amount of charge passed through it. The mass of substance liberated at electrode is calculate using the following realation : m=(itE)/(96500) Here, E represent the equivalent mass and 96500 C is called the faraday constant. Faraday (96500 C) is the charge of 1 mole electron i.e., 6.023 xx 10^(23) electrons, it is used to liberate on gram equivalent of the substance. The platinum electrodes were immersed in a solution of cupric sulphate (CuSO_4) and electric current is passed through the solution. After sometimes, it was observed that the colour of copper sulphate disappeared with evolution of a gas at the electrode. The colourless solution contains.
