If an unshielded sample of radioactive material emits alpha particles, what effect will it have on a person sitting in the next

room? (Assume the wall between rooms is composed of concrete.)

Alpha radiation can only travel a few centi-metres in air and can be stopped (or absorbed) by a sheet of paper. Alpha particles can only penetrate a very thin sheet of paper and is totally blocked by the concrete. As these particles move through the air, it loses energy from the collisions with air molecules making it less penetrating.<span>
 
On the other hand:
Beta radiation can travel a bit further, around tens of centi-metres in air so a thicker substance is required to absorb the radiation. It can be stopped by a thin sheet of aluminium.

Gamma radiation however can travel for many meters so it requires a material much thicker to absorb it.</span>

Answer:

None, because the wall will block the radiation.

Beaker A contains 100.0 g of water initially at 10EC. Beaker B contains 100.0 g of water initially at 20°C. The contents of the
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

(A) 15.0 °C

Explanation:

The water in beaker A gains heat because its initial temperature (10 °C) is less than the initial temperature of the water in beaker B (20 °C) which loses heat.

Let T3 be the final temperature

Heat gained by beaker A = heat loss by beaker B

mc(T3 - T1) = mc(T2 - T3)

The mass and specific heat of water in both beakers are the same. Therefore, (T3 - T1) = (T2 - T3)

T1 is initial temperature of beaker A = 10 °C

T2 is initial temperature of beaker B = 20 °C

T3 - 10 = 20 - T3

T3 + T3 = 20 + 10

2T3 = 30

T3 = 30/2 = 15 °C

To find time, t, the age of the universe, you must first isolate the variable t. Rewrite the velocity equation v = d / t so that
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

t = d/v

Explanation:

All you have to do is the inverse operation so that you multiply by "t" and it will be on the side with the "v" then you divide the v and it will be under the "d" so time = distance/ velocity (speed)

vova2212 [387]

To insert a thermometer into an adapter, use <u>mineral oil</u> to prepare the thermometer. Then, hold the thermometer <u>close to</u> the adapter and<u> slowly turn</u> the thermometer into the adapter.

The term "temperature" refers to a measurement of how cold or hot an actual physical object is. It is measured with a thermometer, which gives readings in Celsius, Kelvin, and Fahrenheit (°C, K, and °F).

The average kinetic energy of the particles in a given substance is often measured by temperature. A thermometer is a tool used to gauge a substance's or a body's temperature (degree of hotness or coolness). It is a bulb-shaped piece of thin glass that usually contains either coloured alcohol or mercury.

In order to get readings throughout the distillation process, a thermometer adapter is used with a temperature probe. Use mineral oil to prepare or make the thermometer suitable before inserting it into the adapter. After that, slowly insert the thermometer into the adaptor while holding it close to it.

Calculate the number of moles of ethanol acid in 30 cm³of 1 mol dm-³ solution ​
muminat

Answer:

May I assume "ethanol acid is just ethanol (it has one slightly acidic H atom).  If so, the molar mass is 46.02 g/mole.

Explanation:

We have 30 cm^3 [30 ml] of 1.0 M (1 mole/liter)  [1 dm³ = 1 liter].

That is 1 mole/liter.  30 ml would contain (0.030 liter)*(1 mole/1 liter) = 0.03 moles.
