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.

If 16.00 g of O₂ reacts with 80.00 g NO, how many the excess reactant are left over? (enter only the value, round to whole numbe
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

50

Explanation:

We will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses of the compounds involved.

1. Gather all the information in one place with molar masses above the formulas and masses below them.  

Mᵣ:           30.01     32.00   46.01

               2NO   +   O₂ ⟶ 2NO₂

Mass/g:  80.00     16.00

2. Calculate the moles of each reactant  

\text{moles of NO} = \text{80.00 g NO} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol NO}}{\text{30.01 g NO}} = \text{2.666 mol NO}\\\\\text{moles of O}_{2} = \text{16.00 g O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol O}_{2}}{\text{32.00 g O}_{2}} = \text{0.5000 mol O}_{2}

3. Calculate the moles of NO₂ we can obtain from each reactant

From NO:

The molar ratio is 2 mol NO₂:2 mol NO

\text{Moles of NO}_{2} = \text{2.333 mol NO} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol NO}_{2}}{\text{2 mol NO}} = \text{2.333 mol NO}_{2}

From O₂:

The molar ratio is 2 mol NO₂:1 mol O₂

\text{Moles of NO}_{2} =  \text{0.5000 mol O}_{2}\times \dfrac{\text{2 mol NO}_{2}}{\text{1 mol Cl}_{2}} = \text{1.000 mol NO}_{2}

4. Identify the limiting and excess reactants

The limiting reactant is O₂ because it gives the smaller amount of NO₂.

The excess reactant is NO.

5. Mass of excess reactant

(a) Moles of NO reacted

The molar ratio is 2 mol NO:1 mol O₂

\text{Moles reacted} = \text{0.500 mol O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol NO}}{\text{1 mol O}_{2}} = \text{1.000 mol NO}

(b) Mass of NO reacted

\text{Mass reacted} = \text{1.000 mol NO} \times \dfrac{\text{30.01 g NO}}{\text{1 mol NO}} = \text{30.01 g NO}

(c) Mass of NO remaining

Mass remaining = original mass – mass reacted = (80.00 - 30.01) g = 50 g NO

Calculate the pH of a 3.58x10^-9 M Nitric acid (a strong acid) solution
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

pH= 8.45

Explanation:

when working with strong accids pH = -log(Concentration)

so -log(3.58e-9) = 8.446
