What do gamma rays consists of?

Chemistry
2 answers:

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 ionization energy, ????????, of the one‑electron ion Be3+. The electron starts in the lowest energy level, ????=1.
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

3.49X10⁻¹⁷ J

Explanation:

The energy of an electron is given by the equation:

E = - (2.18x10^{-18})Z^2(\frac{1}{n^2})

Where Z is the number of protons of the atom and n is the energy level of the electron. For Be, Z = 4.

When n tends to infinity (1/n²) tends to 0, and at this point, the electron has left the atom, so it has ionized.

The ionization energy then is the energy of the electron that left the atom less the energy of the electron in the energy level:

I.E = - (2.18x10⁻¹⁸)x4²x0 - (-(2.18x10⁻¹⁸)x4²x(1/1²))

I.E = 3.49X10⁻¹⁷ J

Tetrahydrocannabinol (thc) is composed of 80.24% carbon, 9.62% hydrogen and 10.14% oxygen by mass. what is the empirical formula
Alika [10]
80.24% carbon, 9.62% hydrogen and 10.14% oxygen

1) Base: 100 g

C: 80.24 g
H: 9.62 g
O: 10.14 g
      ----------
      100.00 g

2) Conversion to moles

C: 80.24 g / 12.00 g /mol = 6.687 mol
H: 9.62 g / 1.00 g/mol = 9.62 mol
O: 10.14 g / 16.00 g/mol = 0.63375 mol

3) Ratio

C:6.687 / 0.63375 = 10.55
H: 9.62 / 0.63375 = 15.18
O: 0.63375 / 0.63375 = 1

Given that the tenth of C is 0.5 you need to multiply all the numbers by 2 =>

C: 10.55 * 2 = 21.1--> 21
H: 15.18 * 2 = 30.36 -> 30
O: 1 * 2 = 2

=> C21 H30 O2

Answer: C21 H30 O2

vaporized at 100°C and 1 atmosphere pressure. Assuming ideal gas 1 g mole of water is behavior calculate the work done and compa
Vesna [10]

Answer:

q = 40.57 kJ; w = -3.10 kJ; strong H-bonds must be broken.

Explanation:

1. Heat absorbed

q = nΔH = 1 mol × (40.57 kJ/1 mol) = 40.57 kJ

2. Change in volume

V(water) = 0.018 L

pV = nRT

1 atm × V = 1 mol × 0.082 06 L·atm·K⁻¹mol⁻¹ × 373.15 K

V = 30.62 L

ΔV = V(steam) - V(water) = 30.62 L - 0.018 L = 30.60 L

3. Work done

w = -pΔV = - 1 atm × 30.60 L = -30.60 L·atm

w = -30.60 L·atm × (101.325 J/1 L·atm) = -3100 J = -3.10 kJ

4. Why the difference?

Every gas does 3.10 kJ of work when it expands at 100 °C and 1 atm.

The difference is in the heat of vaporization. Water molecules are strongly hydrogen bonded to each other, so it takes a large amount of energy to convert water from the liquid phase to the vapour phase.

5. Hydrochloric Acid + Sodium Hydroxide à Sodium<br> Chloride +
erma4kov [3.2K]

HCl Acid + Sodium Hydroxide ----> Sodium  Chloride + water.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The reaction between an acid and a base is known as a neutralization reaction. The reaction of an acid with a base to give salt, water and heat is called neutralization.
  • When hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide, sodium chloride and water are produced.  

                             HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O + Heat

  • The heat evolved in the neutralization reaction raises the temperature of the reaction mixture.    
  • An electro-electrodialysis process (EED) is utilized to create HCl and NaOH from exchange NaCl. NaOH and HCl arrangements with purity higher than 99.9% are acquired. The experimental estimations of the transitions for HCl and NaOH are contrasted and values determined from the incorporation of the Nernst–Planck electro dispersion conditions.
