I am leaning towards C.
Alpha particles do not penetrate clothing
Beta particles only damages skin.
Gamma can go through the body

I know that aluminum foil is tougher than skin so that is why I say C

You have 50 ml of a complex mixture of weak acids that contains some HF (pKa = 3.18) and some HCN (pKa = 9.21). Which is larger,
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

\frac{[F^{-}]}{[HF]} is larger

Explanation:

pK_{a}=-logK_{a} , where K_{a} is the acid dissociation constant.

For a monoprotic acid e.g. HA, K_{a}=\frac{[H^{+}][A^{-}]}{[HA]} and \frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}=\frac{K_{a}}{[H^{+}]}

So, clearly, higher the K_{a} value , lower will the the pK_{a}

In this mixture, at equilibrium, [H^{+}] will be constant.

K_{a} of HF is grater than K_{a} of HCN

Hence, (\frac{F^{-}}{[HF]}=\frac{K_{a}(HF)}{[H^{+}]})>(\frac{CN^{-}}{[HCN]}=\frac{K_{a}(HCN)}{[H^{+}]})

So, \frac{[F^{-}]}{[HF]} is larger

Carbon-12 and carbon-13 are isotopes of carbon.
ohaa [14]

Answer:

Isotopes of an element share the same number of protons but have different numbers of neutrons. Let's use carbon as an example. There are three isotopes of carbon found in nature – carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14. All three have six protons, but their neutron numbers - 6, 7, and 8, respectively - all differ.

Why must power plants spend so much money and be so cautious in dealing with these materials?
shepuryov [24]
If you are referring to nuclear power plants and radioactive materials, then there is a high necessity to be cautious and stay safe because only by being safe you can prevent accidents like those caused in Ukraine and Japan. Unlike other types of power plants whose destruction in case of an accident can relatively easily be contained, nuclear power plants are extremely difficult to manage if things go out of hand since you can destroy the air around it, the water, the food by ruining the soil, and many other things.
