What is the penetrating power of beta

1 answer:

3 0

The penetrating power of alpha rays, beta rays, and gamma rays varies greatly. Alpha particles can be blocked by a few pieces of paper. Beta particles pass through paper but are stopped by aluminum foil. Gamma rays are the most difficult to stop and require concrete, lead, or other heavy shielding to block them.

Answer:
Arachidonic Acid and PGE₁ are both carboxylic acids with Twenty Carbon atoms. The differences are that Arachidonic acid contains Four cis Double Bonds and no other functional groups, whereas PGE₁ has One Trans Double Bond, Two Hydroxyl and One Ketone Functional Groups.. In addition, a part of the PGE₁ chain forms a Five Membered Ring.

What is known about a reaction with a positive enthalpy?

MariettaO [177]

Answer: C

Explanation:

In endothermic reactions, enthalpy is positive, and in exothermic reactions, enthalpy is negative, So, if enthalpy is positive, then it is an endothermic reaction, and hence is required for the reaction to occur.

What was done to the linear parent function, f(x) = x, to get the function g(x) = 1/6 x

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Vertically Shrunk by a factor of 1/6

Explanation:

Parent Formula: f(x) = a(bx - c) + d

a - vertical shrink/stretch and x-reflections

b - horizontal shrink/stretch and y-reflections

c - horizontal movement left/right

d - vertical movement up/down

Since we are only modifying a, we are dealing with vertical shrink/stretch:

Since a < 1 (1/6 < 1), we are dealing with a vertical shrink of 1/6.

Since a > 0 (1/6 > 0), we do not have a reflection over the x-axis.
