The correct answer is aluminium.

Beta radiation consists of electrons that are ejected by the nucleus. Beta particles have the charge of an electrons and the mass of an electron.  Beta particles are quite small , giving them the ability to travel through materials a bit longer before collisions with other particles makes them stop hence they can not be stopped by skin, a piece of paper and thin fabric. Their size accounts for why they have more penetration abilities than alpha particles which are large and can be stopped by a thin piece of paper. However, it is known that a few millimeters of aluminium sheet is able to stop beta particles.

The correct answer is aluminium.

Hydrogen gas is collected over water at 21 degrees Celsius. At 21 degrees Celsius the vapor pressure of water is 18.7 torr. If t
Alinara [238K]

Answer : The pressure of hydrogen gas is, 739.3 torr

Explanation :

As we are given:

Vapor pressure of water = 18.7 torr

Barometric pressure = 758 torr

Now we have to calculate the pressure of hydrogen gas.

Pressure of hydrogen gas = Barometric pressure - Vapor pressure of water

Pressure of hydrogen gas = 758 torr - 18.7 torr

Pressure of hydrogen gas = 739.3 torr

Therefore, the pressure of hydrogen gas is, 739.3 torr

A) Compute the repeat unit molecular weight of polystyrene. B) Compute the number-average molecular weight for a polystyrene for
Andrej [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

In Polystrene, the molecular formula for the repeat unit = C_8H_8;

and the atomic weights of Carbon C = 12.01 g/mol

For Hydrogen, it is 1.01 g/mol

Hence, the repeat unit molecular weight is:

m = 8 (12.01 g/mol)+8(1.01 g/mol)

m = 96.08 g/mol + 8.08 g/mol

m = 104.16 g/mol

The degree of polymerization = no-average molecular weight/repeat unit molecular weight.

Mathematically;

DP = \dfrac{\overline M_n}{m}

\overline M_n= DP \times m

\overline M_n= 25000 \times 104.16 \ g/mol

\overline M_n= 2604000  \ g/mol
