A 70.-kg person exposed to ⁹⁰Sr absorbs 6.0X10⁵ β⁻ particles, each with an energy of 8.74X10⁻¹⁴ J.

<h3>What is β⁻ particles ?</h3>

A beta particle, also known as a beta ray or beta radiation (symbol ), is a highly energetic, swiftly moving electron or positron that is released during the radioactive disintegration of an atomic nucleus. Beta decay occurs in two ways: decay and + decay, which result in the production of electrons and positrons, respectively.

In air, beta particles with an energy of 0.5 MeV have a range of roughly one meter; the range is energy-dependent.

Ionizing radiation of the sort known as beta particles is regarded, for the purposes of radiation protection, as being more ionizing than gamma rays but less ionizing than alpha particles. The damage to live tissue increases as the ionizing effect increases, but so does the radiation's penetration power.

What do cations and anions form?
melomori [17]

Answer: Cations (positively-charged ions) and anions (negatively-charged ions) are formed when a metal loses electrons, and a nonmetal gains those electrons. The electrostatic attraction between the positives and negatives brings the particles together and creates an ionic compound, such as sodium chloride.

Can someone help?? This is really hard.
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Let us consider the first two reactions, the initial concentration of CO was held constant and the concentration of Hbn was doubled.

2.68 * 10^-3/1.34 * 10^-3 = 6.24 * 10^-4/3.12 * 10^-4

2^1 = 2^1

The rate of reaction is first order with respect to Hbn

Let us consider the third and fourth reactions. The concentration of Hbn is held constant and that of CO was tripled.

1.5 * 10^-3/5 * 10^-4 = 1.872 * 10^-3/6.24 * 10^-4

3^1 = 3^1

The reaction is also first order with respect to CO

b) The overall order of reaction is 1 + 1=2

c) The rate equation is;

Rate = k [CO] [Hbn]

d) 3.12 * 10^-4 = k [5 * 10^-4] [1.34 * 10^-3]

k = 3.12 * 10^-4  /[5 * 10^-4] [1.34 * 10^-3]

k = 3.12 * 10^-4/6.7 * 10^-7

k = 4.7 * 10^2 mmol-1 L s-1

e) The reaction occurs in one step because;

1) The rate law agrees with the experimental data.

2) The sum of the order of reaction of each specie in the rate law gives the overall order of reaction.
