Question 28
In addition to a beta particle, which of the following directly results from the beta decay of iodine-131?
A. xenon-131
B. bromine-80
C. tellurium-130
D. xenon-132
Question 29
How do catalysts increase the rate of chemical reactions?
A. by reducing activation energy
B. by increasing molecular velocity
C. by shifting equilibrium toward products
D. by stabilizing temperature and pressure

Answer

  1. Question 28:

    The correct answer is A. xenon-131. In beta decay, a neutron is converted into a proton, resulting in an increase in atomic number by one, transforming iodine-131 into xenon-131.

  2. Question 29:

    The correct answer is A. by reducing activation energy. Catalysts work by lowering the activation energy required for a reaction, thereby increasing the rate of the reaction.
