It would protect best against C) Alpha radiation, as Beta radiation is stopped by lighter metals such as aluminium, and Gamma radiation can only be stopped by heavier metals such as lead.

Mechanical twinning occurs in metals having which type(s) of crystal structure(s)?
kari74 [83]
Mechanical twinning occurs in metals having body center cubic and hexagonal closed packed structures. Twinning is said to occur when a portion of a crystal takes up an orientation that is related to the orientation of the untwinned lattice in a definite symmetrical manner.

2. Using the following data, calculate the average atomic mass of magnesium (give your answer to the nearest
arlik [135]

Answer:

24.32

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Isotope A:

Mass of A = 24

Abundance (A%) = 78.70%

Isotope B

Mass of B = 25

Abundance (B%) = 10.13%

Isotope C:

Mass of C = 26

Abundance (C%) = 11.17%

Average atomic mass of Mg =..?

The average atomic mass of Mg can be obtained as illustrated below:

Average atomic mass = [(Mass of A × A%)/100] + [(Mass of B × B%)/100] + [(Mass of C × C%)/100]

Average atomic mass = [(24 × 78.70)/100] + [(25 × 10.13)/100] + [(26 × 11.17)/100]

= 18.888 + 2.5325 + 2.9042

= 24.3247 ≈ 24.32

Therefore, the average atomic mass of magnesium (Mg) is 24.32

Determine the empirical formula of the following compound if a sample contains 0.104 molK, 0.052 molC, and 0.156 molO;?
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

K₂CO₃    

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of K = 0.104mol

Number of moles of C = 0.052mol

Number of moles of O = 0.156mol

Method

From the given parameters, to calculate the empirical formula of the elements K, C and O, we reduce the given moles to the simplest fraction.

Empirical formula is the simplest formula of a compound and it differs from the molecular formula which is the actual formula of a compound.

  • Divide the given moles through by the smallest which is C, 0.052mol.
  • Then approximate values obtained to the nearest whole number of multiply by a factor to give a whole number ratio.
  • This is the empirical formula

Solution

Elements                             K                       C                    O

Number of moles            0.104                0.052            0.156

Dividing by the

smallest                       0.104/0.052     0.052/0.052  0.156/0.052

                                            2                           1                     3

The empirical formula is K₂CO₃
