Answer:

A gamma rays

Explanation:

Gamma rays unlike beta and alpha particles releases energy and they are actual rays and not particles.

A gamma ray is form of electromagnetic radiation with no mass and charge. Its energy could range from 10KeV to 3MeV.

Its range is not definite in any medium but much longer than those of alpha and beta particles. Intensity of the rays diminishes exponentially from the source.

(e) Another student investigated the rate of a different reaction

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

0.07 g/s.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass lost = 9.85 g

Time taken = 2 min 30 s

Mean rate =?

Next, we shall convert 2 min 30 s to seconds (s). This can be obtained as follow:

1 min = 60 s

Thus,

2 min = 2 × 60 = 120 s

Therefore,

2 min 30 s = 120 s + 30 s = 150 s

Finally, we shall determine the mean rate of the reaction. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

Mass lost = 9.85 g

Time taken = 150 s

Mean rate =?

Mean rate = mass lost / time taken

Mean rate = 9.85 / 150

Mean rate = 0.07 g/s

Therefore, the mean rate of the reaction is 0.07 g/s

What is the function of the phytoplankton in the ocean ecosystem

Nitella [24]

Phytoplankton is a type of micro algae. This creature is similar to the other plants in the ocean biome. But what makes it special is the fact that it is the main produce in the food web. The plant is so small that it is impossible to see it with the naked eye.

4. A 0.51 kg solution contains 87 mg of potassium iodide. Calculate the W/W concentration

anzhelika [568]

Taking into account the definition of percentage composition, the percent composition of potassium iodide in this sample is 0.017%.

<h3>Definition of percent composition </h3>

The Percentage Composition is a measure of the amount of mass that an element occupies in a compound and indicates the percentage by mass of each element that is part of a compound.

To calculate the percentage of composition, it is necessary to know the mass of the element in a known mass of the compound.

<h3>Percentage Composition in this case</h3>

In this case, you know that a 0.51 kg (or 510000 mg, being 1 kg= 1000000 mg) solution contains 87 mg of potassium iodide.

Dividing the mass amount of potassium iodide present in the compound by the mass of the sample and multiplying it by 100 to obtain a percentage value, the percentage composition of potassium iodide is obtained:

$percentage composition of potassium iodide=\frac{87 mg}{510000 mg} x100$
