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.

What were the units of light energy emitted by blackbody radiation originally called?
Dafna11 [192]
The units of light energy emitted by blackbody radiation is originally called as quanta. Black body radiation is a type of radiation within a boy in thermodynamic equilibrium. This is a theoretical body. In 1900, Planck proposed that light and other electromagnetic waves were emitted in discrete packets of energy which were called "quanta". This was the original unit used.

Many metals react with oxygen gas to form the metal oxide. for example, calcium reacts as follows. 2 ca(s) + o2(g) → 2 cao(s) yo
aniked [119]
<span>(a) Assuming the amount of O2(g) is not limiting the reaction, a mass of 4.23g of Ca(s) will produce an equal mass of CaO(s), hence it will produce 4.23g of CaO(s). According to their respective molar masses, we have the following CaO molar mass : Molar mass of Ca + Molar mass of O = 40.1 + 16 = 56.1 g/mol 4.23g of Ca will then produce : 4.23 / 56.1 = 0,07540107 mol of CaO. (b) With the same reasonment as above, and assuming the amount of Ca is not limiting, we have : 2.87g of O2 will produce : 2.87 / 56.1 = 0,051158645 mol of CaO. (c) From (a) and (b) answers, we can conclude that the reactant that produces less mol of CaO is limiting the reaction. Hence following the given masses, O2 is the limiting reactant. (d) Knowing the molar mass of CaO is 56.1 g/mol and knowing that O2 is the limiting reactant, we also know the reaction can produce a maximum of 0,051158645 mol of CaO can be produced. So we can conclude we will produce : 56.1 * 0,051158645 = 2.87g of CaO.</span>

A 34.57 mL sample of an unknown phosphoric acid solution is titrated with a 0.127 M sodium hydroxide solution. The equivalence p
Bas_tet [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The concentration of unknown phosphoric acid solution is 0.034 M

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the concentration of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2

where,

n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is H_3PO_4

n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

n_1=3\\M_1=?M\\V_1=34.57mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.127M\\V_2=28.2mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

3\times M_1\times 34.57=1\times 0.127\times 28.2\\\\M_1=\frac{1\times 0.127\times 28.2}{3\times 34.57}=0.034M

Hence, the concentration of unknown phosphoric acid solution is 0.034 M
