Alpha, beta and gamma radiation are all types of radiation that can be emitted from the nucleus of an atom. Apart from this they are different. Alpha radiation consists of a helium nucleus, beta radiation consists of an electron (or positron) and gamma radiation consists of very high energy electromagnetic radiation.

What is the pOH of a 0.150 M solution of potassium nitrite? (Ka HNO2 = 4.5 x 10−4 )
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

11.9 is the pOH of a 0.150 M solution of potassium nitrite.

Explanation:

Solution :  Given,

Concentration (c) = 0.150 M

Acid dissociation constant = k_a=4.5\times 10^{-4}

The equilibrium reaction for dissociation of HNO_2 (weak acid) is,

                           HNO_2+H_2O\rightleftharpoons NO_2^-+H_3O^+

initially conc.         c                       0         0

At eqm.              c(1-\alpha)                c\alpha        c\alpha

First we have to calculate the concentration of value of dissociation constant (\alpha ).

Formula used :

k_a=\frac{(c\alpha)(c\alpha)}{c(1-\alpha)}

Now put all the given values in this formula ,we get the value of dissociation constant (\alpha ).

4.5\times 10^{-4}=\frac{(0.150\alpha)(0.150\alpha)}{0.150(1-\alpha)}

4.5\times 10^{-4} - 4.5\times 10^{-4}\alpha =0.150\alpha ^2

0.150\alpha ^2+4.5\times 10^{-4}\alpha-4.5\times 10^{-4}=0

By solving the terms, we get

\alpha=0.0533

No we have to calculate the concentration of hydronium ion or hydrogen ion.

[H^+]=c\alpha=0.150\times 0.0533=0.007995 M

Now we have to calculate the pH.

pH=-\log [H^+]

pH=-\log (0.007995 M)

pH=2.097\approx 2.1

pH + pOH = 14

pOH =14 -2.1 = 11.9

Therefore, the pOH of the solution is 11.9

Problem Page A gas made up of atoms escapes through a pinhole 0.225 times as fast as H2 gas. Write the chemical formula of the g
Tcecarenko [31]
To determine what gas is this, we use Graham's Law of Effusion where it relates the rates of effusion of gases and their molar masses. We do as follows:

r1/r2 = √(M2 / M1)

Let 1 be the the unkown gas and 2 the H2 gas.

r1/r2 = 0.225
M2 = 2.02 g/mol

0.225 = √(2.02 / M1)
M1 = 39.90 g/mol

From the periodic table of elements, most likely, the gas is argon.

Using the mass of a proton 1.0073 amu and assuming it's diameter is1.0x10^-15, calculate the density of a proton in g/cm^3. I'm
valkas [14]
You just have to find a conversion from amu to grams. For every 1 amu, there is 1.66×10⁻²⁴ grams. Thus,

Mass of proton = 1.0073 amu * 1.66×10⁻²⁴ grams/amu = 1.672×10⁻²⁴ grams

Since a proton is spherical in shape, the volume would be:

Volume = 1/6*πd³ = 1/6*π(1.0×10⁻¹⁵ cm)³ = 5.236×10⁻⁴⁶ cm³

Therefore, the density is equal to

Density = Mass/Volume = 1.672×10⁻²⁴ grams/5.236×10⁻⁴⁶ cm³
Density = 3.2×10²¹ g/cm³
