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.
Answer:
light bulbs emit photons to produce light
Answer: The answer is A.
Explanation: The higher the kPa, the lower the boiling point
Answer: 0.5 moles
Explanation:
Cr2(SO3)2 is the chemical formula for chromium sulphate.
Given that,
Amount of moles of Cr2(SO3)2 (n) = ?
Mass of Cr2(SO3)2 in grams = 128.9g
For molar mass of Cr2(SO3)2, use the atomic masses:
Chromium, Cr = 52g;
Sulphur, S = 32g;
Oxygen, O = 16g
Cr2(SO3)2 =
(52g x 2) + [(32g + 16g x 3) x 2]
= 104g + [(32g + 48g) x 2]
= 104g + [80g x 2]
= 104g + 160g
= 264g/mol
Since, n = mass in grams / molar mass
n = 128.9g / 264g/mol
n = 0.488 mole [Round the value of n to the nearest tenth which is 0.5
Thus, there are 0.5 moles in 128.9 grams of Cr2(SO3)2
