Answer:

Gamma radiations, because they have the most energy.

Explanation:

Gamma radiations:

Gamma radiations are high energy radiations having no mass.

These radiations are travel at the speed of light.

Gamma radiations can penetrate into the many materials.

These radiations are also used to treat the cancer.

Lead is used for the protection  against gamma radiations because of its high molecular density.

The lead apron are used by the person when treated with gamma radiations.

Lead shields are also used in the wall, windows and doors of the room where gamma radiations are treated, in-order to protect the surroundings.

How do the metals in group 1 compare with the transition metals?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Group 1 metals and transition metals are different from each other, mainly based on the colour of the chemical compounds that they form. The key difference between group 1 metals and transition metals is that the group 1 metals form colourless compounds, whereas the transition metals form colourful compounds.

Chloroform (CHCl3), an important solvent, is produced by a reaction between methane and chlorine. CH4(g) + 3 Cl2(g) CHCl3(g) + 3
PIT_PIT [208]
CH₄(g) + 3 Cl₂(g) → CHCl₃(g) + 3 HCl(g)
From the equation we notice that 1 mole of methane produces 1 mole of chloroform:
16 g Methane → 119.38 g Chloroform
?   g Methane → 37.5 g Chloroform
by cross multiplication:
= (16 * 37.5) / 119.38 = 5.0 g methane

A 2.17 gm sample barium reacted completely with water what is the equation for the reaction how many milliliters of dry H2 evole
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

400 mL

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of barium = 2.17 g

Pressure = 748 mmHg (748/760 = 0.98 atm)

Temperature = 21 °C ( 273+ 21 = 294k)

Milliliters of H₂ evolved = ?

Solution:

chemical equation:

Ba + 2H₂O →  Ba(OH)₂ + H₂

Number of moles of barium:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 2.17 g / 137.327 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.016 mol

Now we  will compare the moles of barium with H₂.

                       Ba        :       H₂

                         1         :         1

                  0.016        :     0.016

Milliliters of H₂:

PV = nRT

V = nRT/P

V = 0.016 mol ×  0.0821 atm. mol⁻¹.k⁻¹.L×294 k/0.98 atm

V = 0.39 atm. L/0.98 atm

V = 0.4 L

L to mL

0.4 × 1000 = 400 mL

Calculate the molarity of the sodium acetate solution as described below.
Airida [17]

Answer:

This question is incomplete.

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of given mass and volume, however, the steps below will help solve the completed question. The molarity (M) of a solution is the number of moles of solute per liter of solvent. The formula is illustrated below;

Molarity = number of moles (n) / volume (in liter or dm³)

To calculate the number of moles of NaC₂H₃O₂, we say

number of moles (n) =

given or measured mass of NaC₂H₃O₂ ÷ molar mass of NaC₂H₃O₂

The volume of the solvent must be in liter (same as dm³). Thus, to convert mL to liter, we divide by 1000

The unit for Molarity is M (Molar concentration), mol/L or mol/dm³

How many moles of CO2 must dissolve in excess water to produce 12 moles of<br><br> H2CO3?
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

12 moles of CO₂.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

CO₂ + H₂O —> H₂CO₃

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of CO₂ dissolves in water to produce 1 mole of H₂CO₃.

Finally, we shall determine the number of moles of CO₂ that will dissolve in water to produce 12 moles of H₂CO₃. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of CO₂ dissolves in water to produce 1 mole of H₂CO₃.

Therefore, 12 moles of CO₂ will also dissolve in water to produce 12 moles of H₂CO₃.

Thus, 12 moles of CO₂ is required.
