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. :)

What can be said about a reaction with H = 62.4 kJ/mol and S = 0.145 kJ/(mol·K)?

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

At 430.34 K the reaction will be at equilibrium, at T > 430.34 the reaction will be spontaneous, and at T < 430.4K the reaction will not occur spontaneously.

Explanation:

1) Variables:

G = Gibbs energy
H = enthalpy
S = entropy

2) Formula (definition)

G = H + TS

=> ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

3) conditions

ΔG < 0 => spontaneous reaction
ΔG = 0 => equilibrium
ΔG > 0 non espontaneous reaction

4) Assuming the data given correspond to ΔH and ΔS

ΔG = ΔH - T ΔS = 62.4 kJ/mol + T 0.145 kJ / mol * K

=> T = [ΔH - ΔG] / ΔS

ΔG = 0 => T = [ 62.4 kJ/mol - 0 ] / 0.145 kJ/mol*K = 430.34K

This is, at 430.34 K the reaction will be at equilibrium, at T > 430.34 the reaction will be spontaneous, and at T < 430.4K the reaction will not occur spontaneously.

A sample of nitrogen gas had a volume of 500. ml, a pressure in its closed container of 740 torr and a temperature 25 degrees c

Semenov [28]

Question:
A sample of nitrogen gas had a volume of 500mL, a pressure in its closed container of 740 torr and a temperature of 25°c. what was the volume of gas when the temperature was changed to 50°c and the new pressure was 760 torr?

Answer:

Data Given:
V₁ = 500 mL

P₁ = 740 torr

T₁ = 25 °C + 273 = 298 K

V₂ = ?

P₂ = 760 torr

T₂ = 50 °C + 273 = 323 K

Solution:
Let suppose the gas is acting Ideally, then According to Ideal Gas Equation,

P₁ V₁ / T₁ = P₂ V₂ / T₂

Solving for V₂,

V₂ = (P₁ V₁ T₂) ÷ (T₁ P₂)

Putting Values,

V₂ = (740 torr × 500 mL × 323 K) ÷ (298 K × 760 torr)

V₂ = 527.68 mL

When the pressure that a gas exerts on a sealed container changes from 1100 bar to 75.5 bar, the temperature changes from k to 2

Serjik [45]

Gay-Lussac's law gives the relationship between pressure and temperature of gas. For a fixed amount of gas, pressure is directly proportional to temperature at constant volume.
P/T = k
where P - pressure , T - temperature and k - constant
$\frac{P1}{T1} = \frac{P2}{T2}$
parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation
substituting the values in the equation
$\frac{1100 bar}{T} = \frac{75.5 bar}{298 K}$
T = 4342 K
initial temperature was 4342 K
