Answer : The correct option is, gamma rays only

Explanation :

Penetration power : It is defined as the movement of particles or rays through an object. As more the energy of a particle, 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 given rays varies greatly.

The alpha particles can be restricted by a few pieces of paper.

The beta particles can be pass through the paper but can not pass by the aluminum foil.

The blocking of gamma rays are the most difficult. It can be blocked by concrete, lead, or other heavy shielding.

Hence, the radiation can pass through the sheet of metal and hit the target is, gamma rays only

Be sure to answer all parts. For each of the following pairs of elements, state whether the binary compound they form is likely
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

(a) Covalent bond. NF₃ (nitrogen trifluoride)

(b) Ionic bond. LiCl (lithium chloride)

Explanation:

<em>(a) N and F</em>

Nitrogen and fluorine are nonmetals, with high and similar electronegativities, so they form covalent bonds, in which they share pairs of electrons to complete the octet in their valence shell. N has 5 valence electrons so it will form 3 covalent bonds while each Cl has 7 valence electrons so it will form 1 covalent bond. As a result, the empirical formula is NF₃ (nitrogen trifluoride).

<em>(b) Li and Cl</em>

Lithium is a metal and Chlorine is a nonmetal. They have different electronegativities so they form an ionic bond, in which Cl gains 1 electron (7 valence e⁻) and Li loses 1 electron (1 valence e⁻). The empirical formula is LiCl (lithium chloride).

2C4 H10 + 13O2 -→ 8CO2 + 10H2O If 356 moles of O2 are available to react, how many moles of CO2 will fom?
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Answer:

The mole ratio of C₄H₁₀ and CO₂ is 2 : 8, which  simplifies to 1 : 4.

Explanation:

The mole ratio is the relative proportion of the moles of products or reactants that participate in the reaction according to the chemical equation.

The chemical equation given is:

2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ → 8CO₂ + 10H₂O

Once you check that the equation is balanced, you can set the mole ratios for all the reactants and products. The coefficients used in front of each reactant and product, in the balanced chemical equation, tells the mole ratios.

In this case, they are: 2 mol C₄H₁₀ :  13 mol O₂ : 8 mol CO₂ : 10 mol H₂O

Since you are asked about the mole ratio of C₄H₁₀ and CO₂ it is:

2 mol C₄H₁₀ : 8 mol CO₂ , which dividing by 2, simplifies to

1 mol C₄H₁₀ : 4 mol CO₂, or

1 : 2.
