Characteristics of α, β, and γ rays

Chemistry
1 answer:
Allisa [31]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

1. it is symbolized as 4/2 He : Alpha rays

2. it has the weakest penetrating power : Alpha rays

3. It is a high-speed electron : beta rays

4. It possesses neither mass nor charge : gamma rays

5. it has the strongest penetrating power : beta rays

6. its is symbolized as 0/-1e : beta rays

7. it is the most massive of all the components: alpha rays

Explanation:

Let us consider the characteristics of each of the given rays.

α rays: These are helium nucleus so are symbolized by He^{4}_{2}

Due to two protons and two neutrons unlike beta and gamma rays these are the most massive and thus have least penetrating power among the three given rays.

β rays: These are actually high speed electrons and are symbolized as ^{0}_{-1}e. Due to lesser mass than alpha rays they are more penetrating than them however less penetrating than gamma rays.

 γ rays : They carry no charge or mass. Due to least massive among the three rays they have highest penetrating power.

Which of the following would increase the strength of an electromagnet? Check all that apply.
TiliK225 [7]

Answer: The correct statements are ; A and B.

Explanation:

The strength of the magnetic field(B) in an electromagnet can be calculated using formula:

B=\mu\frac{N}{L}I

\mu = Relative permeability

N = number of turns

I = Current in the wire of the solenoid

L = length of the solenoid or electromagnetic

As we can see from the formula:

B\propto N

B\propto I

So, by increasing the turns and increasing current flowing through wire one can increase the strength of an electromagnet.

Hence, the correct statements are ; A and B.

HELpPPPPppp!!!!!! will mark brainless
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

This is because in the graph shown line A has a quite greater impact of refraction than line B .

Hence, we can conclude that line A has the greater reaction at a faster rate.

Hydrogen gas was collected by water displacement. what was pressure of the h2 collected if the temperature was 26°c?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
The ideal gas law may be written as
p= \frac{\rho R T}{M}
where
p = pressure
ρ =density
T = temperature
M = molar mass
R = 8.314 J/(mol-K)

For the given problem,
ρ = 0.09 g/L = 0.09 kg/m³
T = 26°C = 26+273 K = 299 K
M = 1.008 g/mol = 1.008 x 10⁻³ kg/mol

Therefore
p= \frac{(0.09 \, kg/m^{3})*(8.314 \, J/(mol-K))*(299 \, K)}{1.008 \times 10^{-3} \, kg/mol} =2.2195 \times 10^{5} \, Pa

Note that 1 atm = 101325 Pa
Therefore
p = 2.2195 x 10⁵ Pa
   = 221.95 kPa 
   = (2.295 x 10⁵)/101325 atm
   = 2.19 atm

Answer:
2.2195 x 10⁵ Pa (or 221.95 kPa or 2.19 atm)
