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.

Gifblaar is a small South African shrub and one of the most poisonous plants known because it contains fluoroacetic acid (FCH2CO

PSYCHO15rus [73]

[H_{3}O^{+}] = 0.00770 M

The equilibrium equation representing the dissociation of $FCH_{2}COOH$

$FCH_{2}COOH(aq) + H_{2}O (l) FCH_{2}COO^{-}(aq)+ H_{3}O^{+}(aq)$

Given [H_{3}O^{+}] = 0.00770 M

Let the initial concentration of acid be x and change y

So y = $[H_{3}O^{+}]$ = $[FCH_{2}COO^{-}]$ = 0.00770 M

$pK_{a} = 2.59K_{a} = 10^{-2.59} = 0.00257 M$

$K_{a} = \frac{(0.00770 M)(0.00770 M)}{x - 0.00770}$

$0.00257 = \frac{0.00005929}{x - 0.00770}$

0.00257 x - 0.00001979 = 0.00005929

x = 0.031 M

Therefore, initial concentration of the weak acid is <u>0.031 M</u>

Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can be reduced by _.*

pychu [463]

Answer:

As the use of plants as carbon sinks can be undone by events such as wildfires, the long-term reliability of these approaches has been questioned. Carbon dioxide that has been removed from the atmosphere can also be stored in the Earth's crust by injecting it into the subsurface, or in the form of insoluble carbonate salts (mineral sequestration).
