<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is alpha radiation.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given options:

<u>Option 1:</u> Alpha

Alpha decay is defined as the process in which alpha particle is emitted. In this process, a heavier nuclei decays into a lighter nuclei. The alpha particle released carries a charge of +2 units. The released alpha particle is also known as helium nucleus.

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}\textrm{Y}+_2^4\alpha

<u>Option 2:</u> Beta

Beta decay is defined as the process in which beta particle is emitted. In this process, a neutron gets converted to a proton and an electron.  The released beta particle is also known as electron.

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta

<u>Option 3:</u> Gamma

Gamma decay is defined as the process in which an unstable nuclei gives off excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process and thus releases \gamma -radiations. These radiations does not carry any charge and are electrically neutral.

_Z^A\textrm{X}^*\rightarrow _Z^A\textrm{X}+_0^0\gamma

<u>Option 4:</u> Isotope

Isotope is defined as the chemical specie which belong to the same element but differ in their molecular mass.

Hence, the correct answer is alpha radiation.

How many liters of 1.5 M potassium permanganate could be made if 152 g of the solute are available?
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

0.64 L

Explanation:

Recall that

n= CV where n=m/M

Hence:

m/M= CV

m= given mass of solute =152g

M= molar mass of solute

C= concentration of solute in molL-1 = 1.5M

V= volume of solute =????

Molar mass of potassium permanganate= 158.034 g/mol

Thus;

152 g/158.034 gmol-1= 1.5M × V

V= 0.96/1.5

V= 0.64 L

lianna [129]

Answer:

Diameter He = 0,1 nm.

Explanation:

Km to nm:

⇒ Diameter He = 1.0 E-13 Km * ( 1000 m / Km ) * (  1 E9 nm / m )

⇒ Diameter He = 0.1 nm
