as the amount of radiation received is proportional to 1/d^2

2m from source


for 1m readings are 50 count per minute


for 2m =   50 / (2)^2

                   50 / 4   =  12.5 count per minute

Answer:

12.5counts/min

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the radiation from a point source follows an inverse-square law wherein the quantity of radiation is proportional to 1/d², where d is distance. Therefore, 2 m away from the source, the counts will be:

Counts/min=\frac{50counts/min}{2^2} =12.5counts/min

Best regards.

An industrial chemist studying bleaching and sterilizing prepares several hypoclorite buffers.
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

pH is 7.60

Explanation:

Let's think the equations:

HClO + H₂O  ⇄  ClO⁻  +  H₃O⁺

As every weak acid, we make an equilbrium

The salt is dissociated in solution

NaClO → Na⁺  +  ClO⁻

                  HClO    +    H₂O    ⇄    ClO⁻    +     H₃O⁺

Initially       0.3m                            0.35m

We have the moles of acid, and the moles of conjugate base.

Reacts          x                                    X                  X

Some amount has reacted, so I obtained (in equilibrium) the moles of base + that amount, and the same amount for H₃O⁺ (ratio is 1:1)

HClO    +    H₂O    ⇄    ClO⁻    +     H₃O⁺

0.3 - x                        0.35 + x           x

Let's make the expression for Ka

Ka = [ClO⁻] . [H₃O⁺]  /  [HClO]

(we don't add water, because it is included in Ka)

2.9x10⁻⁸ = (0.35+x).x  / (0.3-x)

Ka is in order of 10⁻⁸, I can assume that 0.3-x is 0.3  and 0.35 +x =0.3

2.9x10⁻⁸ = (0.35)x  / (0.3)

(2.9x10⁻⁸ .  0.3) /0.35 = x

2.48x10⁻⁸ = x

This is [H₃O⁺]

For pH = - log [H₃O⁺]

pH = 7.60

Consider the following reaction:
mestny [16]
Equation: NH4HS(s) <=> NH3 (g) + H2S(g)

Kc = [NH3]eq[H2S]eq; where eq subscripts are used to indicate that those are the concentrations at equilibrium

 Kc= 0.272 * 0.365 =0.09928
