Hi friend! Hope you find this response helpful! :)

When two tectonic plates move toward each other and collide, they form a convergent plate boundary. There are three types of convergent plate boundaries: oceanic-oceanic boundaries, oceanic-continental boundaries, and continental-continental boundaries. Each one is unique because of the density of the plates involved.

Compare and contrast alpha beta and gamma radiation

Evgen [1.6K]

There are usually 3 topics used to compare types of radiation:

Ionising ability
Penetrative power
Range in air

Ionising ability
Alpha radiation has strong ionising ability, while beta only has moderate ionisation and gamma is very weakly ionising.

Penetrative power
Alpha particles are weakly penetrating, stopped by paper, while beta particles have stronger penetrating ability, stopped by skin and gamma radiation is very strongly penetrating, stopped only by thick layers of lead.

Range in air
Alpha particles- range of only a few centimetres
Beta - range of up to one meter
Gamma- infinite range in air.

Hope this helps:)

Gamma rays are often used to kill microorganisms in food, in an attempt to make the food safer. Some people contend that this ir

kumpel [21]

<span>While treating food with gamma rays kills microorganism by damaging their DNA, the energy of gamma rays rips off electrons from atoms hence ionizing them (causing free radicals). However, gamma rays do not make the food atoms radioactive. The body has a natural mechanism of riding the body of free radicals. However, large quantities of radicals in the body can cause damage.</span>

Calculate the ph at the equivalence point for the titration of 0.230 m methylamine (ch3nh2) with 0.230 m hcl. the kb of methylam

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer: The pH at the equivalence point for the titration will be 0.65.

Solution:

Let the concentration of $[OH^-]$ be x

Initial concentration of $[CH3NH_2]$ , c = 0.230 M

$CH_3NH_2+H_2O\rightleftharpoons CH_3NH_3^++OH^-$

at eq'm c-x x x

Expression of $K_b$ :

$K_b=\frac{[CH_3NH_3^+][+OH^-]}{[CH_3NH_2]}=\frac{x\times x}{c-x}=\frac{x^2}{c-x}$

Since ,methyl-amine is a weak base,c>>x so $c-x\approx c$ .

$K_b=\frac{x^2}{c}=5.0\times 10^{-4}=\frac{x^2}{0.230 M}$

Solving for x, we get:

$x=1.07\times 10^{-2} M$

Given, HCl with 0.230 M , it dissociates fully in water which means $[H^+]$ = 0.230 M

$[OH^-]=[H^+]$ will result in neutral solution, since $[OH^-]$

Remaining $[H^+]$ after neutralizing $[OH^-]$ ions

$[H^+]_{\text{left in solution}}=[H^+]-[OH^-]=0.230-1.07\times 10^{-2}=0.2193 M$

$pH=-log{[H^+]_{\text{left in solution}}=-log(0.2193)=0.65$

The pH at the equivalence point for the titration will be 0.65.

Consider a simple reaction in which a reactant AA forms products: A→productsA→products What is the rate law if the reaction is z

levacccp [35]

Answer :

The rate law expression for zero order reaction will be:

$Rate=k[A]^0$

The rate law expression for first order reaction will be:

$Rate=k[A]^1$

The rate law expression for second order reaction will be:

$Rate=k[A]^2$

Zero order reaction : There is no affect on the rate law.

First order reaction : The rate law becomes doubled.

Second order reaction : The rate law becomes quadrupled.

Explanation :

Rate law : It is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

The given reaction is:

$A\rightarrow Products$

The rate law expression for zero order reaction will be:

$Rate=k[A]^0$

The rate law expression for first order reaction will be:

$Rate=k[A]^1$

The rate law expression for second order reaction will be:

$Rate=k[A]^2$

Now we have to determine that if doubling of the concentration of A then the rate of reaction will be:

As we know that the zero order reaction does not depend on the concentration of reactant. So, there is no affect on the rate law.

As we know that the first order reaction depend on the concentration of reactant. So, the rate law becomes doubled.

As we know that the second order reaction depend on the concentration of reactant. So, the rate law becomes quadrupled.
