Beta particles can be stopped by a thin sheet of aluminum foil.

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

Find the percent composition of C7H5N3O6

Oksana_A [137]

Finding percent composition is fairly easy. You only need to divide the mass of an element by the total mass of the compound. We can do this one element at a time.

First, let's find the total mass by using the masses of the elements given on the periodic table.

7 x 12.011 (mass of Carbon) = 84.077

5 x 1.008 (mass of Hydrogen) = 5.04

3 x 14.007 (mass of Nitrogen) = 42.021

6 x 15.999 (mass of Oxygen) = 95.994

Add all of those pieces together.

84.077 + 5.04 + 42.021 + 95.994 = 227.132 g/mol is your total. Since we also just found the mass of each individual element, the next step will be very easy.

Carbon: 84.077 / 227.132 = 0.37016 ≈ 37.01 %

Hydrogen: 5.04 / 227.132 = 0.022189 ≈ 2.22 %

Nitrogen: 42.021 / 227.132 = 0.185 ≈ 18.5 %

Oxygen: 95.994 / 227.132 = 0.42263 ≈ 42.26 %

You can check your work by making sure they add up to 100%. The ones I just found add up to 99.99, which is close enough. A small difference (no more than 0.03 in my experience) is just a matter of where you rounded your numbers.

Calculate the solubility of benzene in water at 25 c in ppm. the required henry's law constant is 5.6 bar/mol/kg and benzene's s

kap26 [50]

The relationship between pressure and solubility of the gas is given by Henry's law as:

$S_g = kP_g$

where,

$S_g$ is the solubility of the gas.

$k$ is proportionality constant i.e. Henry's constant.

$P_g$ is pressure of the gas.

$k = 5.6 bar/mol/kg$ (given)

$P_g = 0.13 bar$ (given)

Substituting the values,

$S_g = 5.6 bar/mol/kg\times 0.13 bar = 0.728 mole/kg$

To convert $mole/kg$ to $g/kg$ :

Molar mass of benzene, $C_6H_6$ = $6\times 12+6\times 1 = 78 g/mol$

$0.728\times 78 = 56.784 g/kg$

Now for converting into $ppm$ :

Since, $1 ppm = 0.001 g/kg$

So, $56.784\times 1000 = 56784 ppm$ .

Hence, the solubility of benzene in water at $25^{o} C$ in $ppm$ is $56784 ppm$ .

How many grams of salt are in 1 kilogram of seawater with average salinity? quizzlet?

Degger [83]

<span>35 grams The average salinity of seawater is 35 parts per thousand, so multiply the mass of seawater provided by 0.035 and you'll get the amount of salt (mostly sodium chloride) dissolved in it. So 1000 g * 0.035 = 35 g Therefore in 1 kilogram of seawater with average salinity, there is 35 grams of salt.</span>
