Answer:

C. Gamma > beta > alpha

Explanation:

<u>Alpha rays</u> : These are positively charged  and have mass 4u. These contain high energy Helium nucleus with 2 proton and 2 neutron.

These are heavier and maximum charged than beta and gamma particles.They have low velocity,least penetration power (can't travel more than 10-18 cm).

<u>Beta rays</u> : They are negatively charged and have negligible mass.

On emmission of beta particle, neutron is divided into proton and electron. They have less mass and very high velocity, so their penetrating power is more than alpha particles.

<u>Gamma rays</u>: These are parts of electromagnetic spectrum and travel with the speed of light (maximum velocity).Gamma rays do not have mass have maximum penetrating power.

Consider the following chemical equilibrium:
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Kc = [CH₄] / [H₂]²

Kp = [CH₄] / [H₂]² * (0.082*T)^-1

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant, Kc, is defined as the ratio of the concentrations of the products over the reactants. Also, each concentration of product of reactant is powered to its coefficient.

<em>Pure solids and liquids are not taken into account in an equilibrium</em>

Thus, for the reaction:

C(s)+ 2H₂(g) ⇌ CH₄(g)

Equilibrium constant is:

<h3>Kc = [CH₄] / [H₂]²</h3>

Now, using the formula:

Kp = Kc* (RT)^Δn

<em>Where R is gas constant (0.082atmL/molK), T is the temperature of the reaction and Δn is difference in coefficients of gas products - coefficients of gas reactants (1 - 2= -1)</em>

Replacing:

<h3>Kp = [CH₄] / [H₂]² * (0.082*T)^-1</h3>

Consider the reaction: Mg(OH)₂ (s) ⇌ Mg²⁺ (aq) + 2 OH⁻ (aq)
balandron [24]

The value of Kc for the equilibrium is 0.150 mole² / litre ²

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>Given:</u>

An equilibrium mixture in an 1.00 L vessel contains 5.30 moles of  

Mg(OH )₂  0.800 moles of Mg²⁺ and 0.0010 moles OH₋  

We have to find the value of Kc

  • Step 1: Find  the equilibrium Concentration.
  • Step 2: Substitute the values in the equation.
  • Step 3: Find the value of Kc.
  • I have attached the document for the detailed explanation

The value of Kc for the equilibrium is 0.150 mole² / litre ²

If there were only 4 protons, but the number of electrons remained at 6, what would the charge of this atom be? please help!!
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Negatively charged

Explanation:

It could be an ion too. To balance the electron shell it could lose 1 or 2 electrons. If it is not an ion it won't lose atoms to balance the shells.

Which of the following compounds would be more soluble in 1 M NH3 than in pure water? BaSO 4 AgBr Pbl 2 BaF 2 Ca(OH) 2
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

AgBr

Explanation:

The salt, AgBr has a very low solubility is pure water. However, it has a high solubility in 1 M NH3. The reason behind this higher solubility of AgBr in 1 M aqueous ammonia solution is the formation of a complex as shown below;

AgBr(s) + 2NH3(aq) ----> [Ag(NH3)2]^+(aq) + Br^-(aq)

The formation of this linear silver diammine complex accounts for the higher solubility of AgBr in 1 M aqueous ammonia solution.

How do you make a fossil fuel?
Andru [333]

Answer:

After millions of years underground, the compounds that make up plankton and plants turn into fossil fuels. Plankton decomposes into natural gas and oil, while plants become coal. Today, humans extract these resources through coal mining and the drilling of oil and gas wells on land and offshore.
