There are usually 3 topics used to compare types of radiation:
Ionising ability
Penetrative power
Range in air
Ionising ability
Alpha radiation has strong ionising ability, while beta only has moderate ionisation and gamma is very weakly ionising.
Penetrative power
Alpha particles are weakly penetrating, stopped by paper, while beta particles have stronger penetrating ability, stopped by skin and gamma radiation is very strongly penetrating, stopped only by thick layers of lead.
Range in air
Alpha particles- range of only a few centimetres
Beta - range of up to one meter
Gamma- infinite range in air.
Hope this helps:)
The equation Eºcell = 0.0592/n logK must be used to find n and also Eºcell
2 Al(s) + 3 Mg2+(aq) → 2 Al3+(aq) + 3 Mg(s) Al3+ +3e- --> Al Eº = -1.66 V Mg2+ +2e- -->Mg Eº = -2.37V
To balance the equation, 6 moles of electrons must be transferred (2 Al and 3 Mg). This will be the value of n in the equation.
To find Eºcell, you need the reduction potentials which should be given in a table, and given above. Eºcell = -1.66 - (-2.37) = 0.71 V log K = Eºcell x n/0.0592 = 0.71 x 6/0.0592 log K = 71.95 K = 10^71.95 K = 1.1x10^72
Answer:
d. 97.60 g
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Number of moles of formaldehyde = 3.25moles
Ratio:
C H O
1 2 1
Unknown:
Mass of this sample = ?
Solution:
The empirical formula of a compound is its simplest formula. It is the simplest whole number ratio of the atoms in a given substance.
The molecular formula is the actual formula of the compound.
Since the molecular and empirical formula are the same here, the formula of the compound is;
CH₂O
To find the mass of the formaldehyde, use the expression below;
Mass = number of moles x molar mass
molar mass of CH₂O = 12 + 2(1) + 16 = 30g/mol
Mass = 3.25 x 30 = 97.5g
