Gamma rays consist of pure energy. Beta particles consist of one electron that is released at high speeds from an unstable nucleus and an alpha particle is a helium nucleus.

We know that Gamma rays consist of pure energy because, during Gamma decay, the atomic and mass numbers remain unchanged. Therefore, only energy is emitted.

Gamma rays are weakly ionising, however, they are strongly penetrating and thick concrete or a few centimetres of aluminium is needed to stop them.

Calculate the pressure of 3.2 moles of an ideal gas that occupies a volume of 87 m3 at a temperature of 312 K.
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

                  P  =  0.0009417 atm

Or,

                 P  =  9.417 × 10⁻⁴ atm

Or,

                  P  =  0.0954157 kPa

Or,

                  P  =  0.715677 mmHg (Torr)

Explanation:

Data Given:

                 Moles  =  n  =  3.2 mol

                 Temperature  =  T  =  312 K

                  Pressure  =  P  =  ?

                  Volume  =  V  =  87 m³ = 87000 L

Formula Used:

Let's assume that the gas is acting as an Ideal gas, the according to Ideal Gas Equation,

                  P V  =  n R T

where;  R  =  Universal Gas Constant  =  0.082057 atm.L.mol⁻¹.K⁻¹

Solving Equation for P,

                  P  =  n R T / V

Putting Values,

                  P  =  (3.2 mol × 0.082057 atm.L.mol⁻¹.K⁻¹ × 312 K) ÷ 87000 L

                  P  =  0.0009417 atm

Or,

                 P  =  9.417 × 10⁻⁴ atm

Or,

                  P  =  0.0954157 kPa

Or,

                  P  =  0.715677 mmHg (Torr)

How many moles of methane (CH4) are in 7.31 x 10^25 molecules
Ivan

molar mass of methane CH4

= C + 4 H  

= 12.0 + 4 x 1.008

= 12.0 +  4.032

= 16.042g/mol

7.31 x 10^25 molecules x <u>             1 mole  CH4    </u>  = 121.43 moles

                                       6.02 x 10^23 CH4 molecules

121.43 moles CH4 are present.
