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.

(You do) If you have 47.2 mol of Na available, along with an excess of Cl₂, how many grams of NaCl can you produce?
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

2,760 grams NaCl

Explanation:

To find grams of NaCl, you need to (1) convert moles of Na to moles of NaCl (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction) and (2) convert moles of NaCl to grams (via molar mass from periodic table). The final answer should have 3 significant figures based on the given measurement.

2 Na + Cl₂ --> 2 NaCl

Molar Mass (NaCl) = 22.99 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol

Molar Mass (NaCl) = 58.44 g/mol

47.2 moles Na           2 moles NaCl              58.44 grams

----------------------  x  ---------------------------  x  -------------------------  =
                                   2 moles Na                   1 mole NaCl

= 2,758.368 grams NaCl

= 2,760 grams NaCl
