The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the isobars Copper-64 and Zinc-64, we will analyze the information given about their masses and the nature of their decay. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Isobars**: - We have two isobars: Copper-64 \((^{64}_{29}Cu)\) and Zinc-64 \((^{64}_{30}Zn)\). Isobars are nuclides that have the same mass number but different atomic numbers. 2. **Analyze the Masses**: - The mass of Copper-64 is given as \(63.9298 \, u\) and the mass of Zinc-64 is \(63.9292 \, u\). - Since the mass of Copper-64 is greater than that of Zinc-64, this indicates that Copper-64 is less stable and is likely to undergo decay. 3. **Determine the Type of Decay**: - Since Copper-64 is decaying into Zinc-64, we can conclude that this is a beta decay process. In beta decay, a neutron in the nucleus is converted into a proton and an electron (beta particle) is emitted. - The atomic number increases by 1 (from 29 for Copper to 30 for Zinc), which is characteristic of beta negative decay. 4. **Write the Decay Equation**: - The decay can be represented as follows: \[ ^{64}_{29}Cu \rightarrow ^{64}_{30}Zn + \beta^{-} + \bar{\nu} \] - Here, \(\beta^{-}\) represents the emitted beta particle (electron), and \(\bar{\nu}\) represents the antineutrino. 5. **Conclude the Nature of the Isobars**: - From the above analysis, we conclude that Copper-64 is radioactive and decays into Zinc-64 through beta decay. - Since Zinc-64 is the product of this decay, it is stable and does not undergo further decay. ### Conclusion: From the data provided, we can conclude that Copper-64 is radioactive and decays into Zinc-64 through beta decay.

As part of his discovery of the neutron in 1932, James Chadwick determined the mass of the neutron (newly identified particle) by firing a beam of fast meutrons, all having the same speed, as two different targets and measuing the maximum recoil speeds of the target nuclei. The maximum speed arise when an elastic head-on collision occurs between a neutron and a stationary target nucleus. Represent the masses and final speeds of the two target nuclei as m_(1), v_(1), m_(2) and v_(2) and assume Newtonian mechanics applies. The neutron mass can be calculated from the equation: m_(n) = (m_(1)v_(1) - m_(2)v_(2))/(v_(2) - v_(1)) Chadwick directed a beam of neutrons on paraffin, which contains hydrogen. The maximum speed of the protons ejected was found to be 3.3 xx 10^(7) m//s . A second experiment was performed using neutrons from the same source and nitrogen nuclei as the target. The maximum recoil speed of the nitrogen nuclei was found to be 4.7 xx 10^(6) m//s . The masses of a proton and a nitrogen nucleus were taken as 1u and 14 u , respectively. What was Chadwick's value for the neutron mass?

The most pupular electrochemical cell, daniel cell was originally developed by the English chemist john F daniel the general assembly of the cell is as given below An undergraduate student made a Daniel cell using 100cm^(3) of 0.100MCuSO_(4) ad 0.100M ZnSO_(4) solution respectively. The two compartments are connected by suitable salt bridge. [given E_((Cu^(2+)//Cu))^(@)=0.34V,E_((Zn^(2+)//Zn))=-0.76V,(2.30RT)/(F)=0.06,log2=0.3] Q. A labmate of the student asked her for some solid CuCl_(2) . while she was lifting the bottle from a shelf, the lid of the bottle slipped and some amount of CuCl_(2) fell in the CuSO_(4) compartment at constant volume. She measured the emf of the cell again and found that it has increase by 9 mV. She used this data to calculate the amount of CuCl_(2) that had spilled in the compartment. Calculate the mass of CuCl_(2) that had spilled into the daniel cell? (molar mass of CuCl_(2)=135(g)/(mol))
