I would say the last one because unlike beta and alpha rays they will have no effect on the mass or atomic number because they are just composed of high energy radiation

Answer:

have no effect on atomic number or mass number of the atoms that emit them.

Explanation:

Unlike alpha and beta particles gamma rays are weightless packets of energy which have both mass and energy. Gamma rays are more like visible light but they have much higher energy. Based on this option D is true because gamma rays have no mass that is why they have no effect on atomic number of the atoms that emit them.

The net charge on a sulfide ion (s2-) is -2. explain how this ion obtains its charge

Anestetic [448]

Sulfur is a group six element in period 3 with atomic number 16 and an electronic configuration of 2:8:6. Therefore, to attain a stable configuration it requires to gain two electrons forming an ion with a charge of -2. The negative charge is due to the gaining of electrons.

What must be the molarity of an aqueous solution of trimethylamine, (ch3)3n, if it has a ph = 11.20? (ch3)3n+h2o⇌(ch3)3nh++oh−kb

Stolb23 [73]

0.040 mol / dm³. (2 sig. fig.)

<h3>Explanation</h3>

$(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}$ in this question acts as a weak base. As seen in the equation in the question, $(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}$ produces $\text{OH}^{-}$ rather than $\text{H}^{+}$ when it dissolves in water. The concentration of $\text{OH}^{-}$ will likely be more useful than that of $\text{H}^{+}$ for the calculations here.

Finding the value of $[\text{OH}^{-}]$ from pH:

Assume that $\text{pK}_w = 14$ ,

$\begin{array}{ll}\text{pOH} = \text{pK}_w - \text{pH} \\ \phantom{\text{pOH}} = 14 - 11.20 &\text{True only under room temperature where }\text{pK}_w = 14 \\\phantom{\text{pOH}}= 2.80\end{array}$ .

$[\text{OH}^{-}] =10^{-\text{pOH}} =10^{-2.80} = 1.59\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$ .

Solve for $[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{initial}$ :

$\dfrac{[\text{OH}^{-}]_\text{equilibrium}\cdot[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}]_\text{equilibrium}}{[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{equilibrium}} = \text{K}_b = 1.58\times 10^{-3}$

Note that water isn't part of this expression.

The value of Kb is quite small. The change in $(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}$ is nearly negligible once it dissolves. In other words,

$[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{initial} = [(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{final}$ .

Also, for each mole of $\text{OH}^{-}$ produced, one mole of $(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}$ was also produced. The solution started with a small amount of either species. As a result,

$[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}] = [\text{OH}^{-}] = 10^{-2.80} = 1.58\times 10^{-3}\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$ .

$\dfrac{[\text{OH}^{-}]_\text{equilibrium}\cdot[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}]_\text{equilibrium}}{[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\textbf{initial}} = \text{K}_b = 1.58\times 10^{-3}$ ,

$[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\textbf{initial} =\dfrac{[\text{OH}^{-}]_\text{equilibrium}\cdot[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}]_\text{equilibrium}}{\text{K}_b}$ ,
