What do gamma rays consists of?

Chemistry

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 is the concentration of a solution with a volume of 2.5 liters containing 600 grams of calcium phosphate?​
trapecia [35]

Answer:

1.12M

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Volume of solution  = 2.5L

Mass of Calcium phosphate  = 600g

Unknown:

Concentration  = ?

Solution:

Concentration is the number of moles of solute in a particular solution.

Now, we find the number of moles of the calcium phosphate from the given mass;

        Formula of calcium phosphate  = Ca₃PO₄

         molar mass = 3(40) + 31 + 4(16) = 215g/mol  

Number of moles of  Ca₃PO₄  = \frac{600}{215}   = 2.79moles

   Now;

  Concentration  = \frac{Number of moles }{volume }  

 Concentration  = \frac{2.79}{2.5}   = 1.12M

Which gas law states that the pressure of a gas decreases when volume is increased and the temperature is unchanged
Nesterboy [21]

Answer: Boyle's law

Explanation: It states that pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to the volume of a gas at constant temperature.

P∝\frac{1}{V}       at constant temperature

or If the pressure of gas is decreased, the volume increases if the temperature is unchanged and If the pressure of gas is increased, the volume decreases if the temperature is unchanged.

P_1V_1=P_2V_2
