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>

The pressure on a 200-milliliter sample of CO2(g) at
motikmotik

Answer:

A) 100 mL

Explanation:

At constant temperature and number of moles, Using Boyle's law  

{P_1}\times {V_1}={P_2}\times {V_2}

Given ,  

V₁ = 200 mL

V₂ = ?

P₁ = 60 kPa

P₂ = 120 kPa

Using above equation as:

{P_1}\times {V_1}={P_2}\times {V_2}

{60\ kPa}\times {200\ mL}={120\ kPa}\times {V_2}

{V_2}=\frac{{60}\times {200}}{120}\ mL

{V_2}=100\ mL

Determine whether you can swim in 1.00 x 10^27 molecules of water.​
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

We can not swim in 1.00 × 10²⁷ molecules of water

Explanation:

The given number of molecules of water = 1.00 × 10²⁷ molecules

The Avogadro's number, N_A, gives the number of molecules in one mole of a substance

N_A ≈ 6.0221409 × 10²³ molecules/mol

Therefore

Therefore, we have;

The number of moles of water present in 1.00 × 10²⁷ molecules, n = (The number of molecules of water) ÷ N_A

∴ n = (1.00 × 10²⁷ molecules)/(6.0221409 × 10²³ molecules/mol) = 1,660.53902857 moles

The mass of one mole of water = The molar mass of water = 18.01528 g/mol

The mass, 'm', of water in 1,660.53902857 moles of water is given as follows;

Mass = (The number of moles of the substance) × (The molar mass of the substance)

∴ The mass of the water in the given quantity of water, m = 1,660.53902857 moles × 18.01528 g/mol ≈ 29.9150756 kg.

The density pf water, ρ = 997 kg/m³

Volume = Mass/Density

∴ The volume of the water present in the given quantity of water, v = 29.9150756 kg/(997 kg/m³) ≈ 30.0050909 liters

The volume of the water present in 1.00 × 10²⁷ molecules of water ≈ 30.0 liters

The average volume of a human body = 62 liters

Therefore, we can not swim in the given quantity of 1.00 × 10²⁷ molecules = 30.0 liters water

What metalloid has commonly been used as an insecticide due<br> to its effectiveness as a poison.
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Arsenic.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since insecticides are substances that act as poisons to get rid of insects in order to prevent their presence and/or reproduction in houses, companies, crops and others, a substance that has been widely used is the metalloid arsenic due to its direct affection of the insect's body (movement, performance, cellular functions).

In addition, high levels of arsenic in food could cause arsenic poisoning in humans as well, that is why such practice must be properly performed and by using the correct security protocol.

Best regards!

In the laboratory you dissolve 15.9 g of barium chloride in a volumetric flask and add water to a total volume of 375 ml. what i
ASHA 777 [7]
<span>There are a number of ways to express concentration of a solution. This includes molarity. Molarity is expressed as the number of moles of solute per volume of the solution. So, we calculate as follows:

Molarity =  15.9 g BaCl2 ( 1 mol / 208.23 g ) / .375 L = 0.204 mol / L</span>
