Nickel carbonyl (IUPAC name: tetracarbonylnickel) is the organonickel compound
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.
Catalyst can speed up chemical reaction without being used up or involved in thr reaction..
P₄O₁₀ + 6H₂O → 4H₃PO₄
The equation shows us that the molar ratio of
P₄O₁₀ : 6H₂O = 1:6
We also know that one mole of a substance contains 6.02 x 10²³ particles. We can use this to calculate the moles of water.
moles(H₂O) = (5.51 x 10²³) / (6.02 x 10²³)
= 0.92 mole
That means moles of P₄O₁₀ = 0.92 / 6
= 0.15
Each mole of P₄O₁₀ contains 4 moles of P.
moles(P) = 4 x 0.15 = 0.6 mol
Mr of P = 207 grams per mol
Mass of P = 207 x 0.6
= 124.2 grams
