Which one item of the list below does not describe part of beta decay? A. The nucleus of the atom is unstable.
B. A neutron turns into a proton.
C. A proton turns into an electron.
D. An electron is ejected from the nucleus.

C

Explanation:

When Beta decay happens, the atomic number of an element goes up, and that means there is an extra proton. A is not the answer because unstable atoms cause decay. B is also not correct because this is what happens in Beta decay: a neutron becomes a proton. D is not correct because an electron is actually emitted from the nucleus.

a). in this case, dh> 0 and sd> 0. if t becomes larger, the term "-tds" will become more negative. at some point, it is possible that -dts will be more negative than the dh is positive, and the reaction will become spontaneous. this is probably the correct answer, but you should look at all of the other possibilities and make sure of that.
