Answer : The correct option is, gamma

Explanation :

Penetration power : It is the movement of rays or the particles through an object.  We know that the more the energy of a particle, the more will be the penetrating power.

The increasing order of the penetration power of alpha rays, beta rays, and gamma rays will be,

Alpha rays < Beta rays < Gamma rays

The penetrating power of the alpha, beta and gamma rays varies greatly.

(1) The alpha particles are restricted by the paper.

(2) The beta particles can pass through the paper but it can not pass through the aluminum foil.

(3) The blocking of gamma rays is very difficult. It can be blocked only by concrete, lead, or other heavy shielding.

Hence, the radiation can only be stopped by thick layers of dense metal is, gamma.

Gamma rays have the highest penetrating power so it can only be stopped by thick layers of dense metal. :)

When the pH decreases from 6 to 3, the hydrogen ion, H+, increases by what?
Irina-Kira [14]

pH decreases as the hydrogen ion concentration increases.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When there is a decrease in pH, that is pH decreases from 6 to 3 then the acidity increases.

That is the pH is between 1 to 7 then it is acidic

When the pH is 7 then it is neutral

When the pH is between  7 to 14 then it is basic

As the H⁺ ion concentration increases, then the pH value decreases, here pH decreases from 6 to 3.

So the concentration of Hydrogen ion increases, pH decreases.

Find [H+] of a 0.056 M hydrofluoric acid solution. Ka = 1.45 x 10-7
brilliants [131]

Answer:  [H^+] of 0.056 M HF solution is 8.96\times 10^{-5}

Explanation:

HF\rightarrow H^+F^-

 cM              0             0

c-c\alpha        c\alpha          c\alpha  

So dissociation constant will be:

K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}

Give c= 0.056 M and \alpha = ?

K_a=1.45\times 10^{-7}

Putting in the values we get:

1.45\times 10^{-7}=\frac{(0.056\times \alpha)^2}{(0.056-0.056\times \alpha)}

(\alpha)=0.0016

[H^+]=c\times \alpha

[H^+]=0.056\times 0.0016=8.96\times 10^{-5}  

Thus [H^+] of 0.056 M HF solution is 8.96\times 10^{-5}
