1.the balanced chemical equation is as below

cu + 2 ag(no)₃ → cu(no₃)₂ +2 ag

2.the much silver produced is 50.9 g

step 1: find the moles of cu

moles = mass÷ molar mass

from periodic table the molar mass of cu = 63.5 g/mol

moles is therefore = 15.00 g÷ 63.5 g/mol = 0.236 moles

step 2: use the mole ratio to determine the moles of ag

from equation above cu: ag is 1: 2

therefore the moles of ag =0.236 moles x 2/1 =0.472 moles

step 3: find the mass of ag

mass = moles x molar mass

from periodic table the molar mass of ag =107.87 g/mol

mass = 0.472 moles x 107.87 g/mol = 50.9 g

3. the much silver collected worth is 1.797 oz

convert 50.9 g to oz

that is 1 gram = 0.0353 oz

50.9 grams =? oz

by cross multiplication

={(50.9 grams x 0.0353 oz) / 1 gram} =1.797 oz

answer: the correct answer is 1.

explanation: there are various process in which a radioactive nuclei decays:

1) alpha decay: in this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. the mass number is reduced by 4 units.

$_a^z\textrm{x}\rightarrow _{a-2}^{z-4}+_2^4\alpha$

2) electron capture: in this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. mass number does not change in this process.

$_a^z\textrm{x}+_{-1}^0\textrm{e}\rightarrow _{z-1}^a\textrm{y}$

3) gamma ray emission: it is a decay process in which an unstable nuclei gives excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process. this decay releases $\gamma -radiations$ . this process does not change the mass number.

$_a^z\textrm{x}^*\rightarrow _a^z\textrm{x}+_0^0\gamma$

4) positron emission: it is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino. this is also known as $\beta ^+$ -decay. in this the mass number remains same.

$_a^z\textrm{x}\rightarrow _{z-1}^a\textrm{y}+_{+1}^0e$

from the above information, we see that only alpha-decay is producing a change in the mass number of the nucleus.

the skeletons of most mammals reach a certain size and then stop growing. however, many animals, including some mammals, keep growing throughout their lives. kangaroos, for example, just keep growing and growing until they die. also, the longer an animal lives the greater the chance it might catch some deadly disease.
