5 0

Answer:

Buckminsterfullerence is called an allotrope of carbon because it was discovered during an experiment involving a cluster of beam which uses laser to vapourise  a graphite rod in a helium atmosphere to produce carbon plasmas.a mass sectrometry evidence from the experiment showed that carbon molecules with C60 were forming with a spheroidal geometry.so therefore it was included as an allotrope of carbon.

The three types of nuclear radiation in increasing order of penetrating power are ____.
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

The three types of nuclear radiation in increasing order of penetrating power are ____.

alpha, beta, gamma

Explanation:

Alpha Ray: This has the least penetrating power because the particles produced during decay are large in  quantity but they have a very low energy which dosent alow them to move far through space because the are ususally blocked.

Beta ray : they have more penetrating power than alpha rays because they a bit higher in energy and quantity {size}

Gamma Ray;  this has the most penetrating power. they are highly powerful  waves but do little at ionization of other atoms or molecules.  it penetrates through molecules very easily due to its size and energy.

What is the mass, in grams, of 6.11 mol of sulfur trioxide?
Kazeer [188]
It would be approximately 489 g, rounded for significant figures. The calculator given answer would be 489.20326. To get that, all you have to do is take your 6.11 moles and multiply it by 80.066 (the molar mass) divided by 1 mol to cancel out the unit.

Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide and water vapour produced and the volume of oxygen remaining, when 20.0 dm3 of propane re
laiz [17]

Answer:

80cm3 of water, and 60cm3 carbon IV oxide is formed while 20cm3 of oxygen is left unreacted.

Explanation:

From Gay-Lussac's law, there are five volumes of oxygen, 1 volume if propane, 4 volumes of water and three volumes of CO2. Applying this shows the reacting volumes as we have in the image attached, hence the volumes left after reaction.
