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.

Iron metal reacts with elemental oxygen to form rust according to the unbalanced reaction, Fe(s) + O2(g) → Fe2O3(s),. What is th
pochemuha

Answer:

c. 3

Explanation:

The unbalanced reaction expression is given as:

          Fe  +  O₂  →   Fe₂O₃  

To balance the expression gives the coefficient of oxygen.

Assign the coefficients a,b, c and use a mathematical approach to solve this problem:

             aFe  +  bO₂  →  cFe₂O₃

Conserving Fe: a  = 2c

                    O:  2b  = 3c

Now let c = 1, a  = 2, b  = \frac{3}{2}

  Multiply through by 2,

             a = 4, b = 3 and c  = 2

 

               4Fe  +  3O₂  →   2Fe₂O₃  

The coefficient of O₂ is 3

What is the net ionic equation for 2Sb(OH)3 (s) + 3Na2S (aq) = Sb2S3 + 6NaOH
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

2Sb^(+3) (aq) + 3S^(-2) (aq) = Sb_2•S_3

Explanation:

First of all, let us balance the equation to give;

2Sb(OH)3 (s) + 3Na2S (aq) = Sb2S3 + 3NaOH

Now, we can observe the presence of positive Sodium ions (Na+) and negative hydroxyl ions (OH-) on both left and right sides of the equation.

Now, the two ions will cancel out. These ions are not really involved in the overall reaction and thus do not require being written in the overall equation. Hence, the overall net ionic reaction can now be written as:

2Sb^(+3) (aq) + 3S^(-2) (aq) = Sb_2•S_3

How many moles of argon are contained in 58 L of At at STP?
Harman [31]

Answer:

n = 2.58 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of argon = ?

Volume occupy = 58 L

Temperature = 273.15 K

Pressure = 1 atm

Solution:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

1 atm × 58 L = n × 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K × 273.15 K

58 atm.L = n × 22.43 atm.L/ mol.

n = 58 atm.L / 22.43 atm.L/ mol

n = 2.58 mol
