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.
The mass of a substance per unit volume is the substance's density.
D = m/v.
Answer:
contain hereditary information
break down food into energy
Explanation:
Hereditary information is contained in genes and genes are found inside the cell. This implies that the cell contains hereditary information of organisms. This hereditary information is passed on during cell division from parent to daughter cells.
Metabolism occurs in the cells. The cells use oxygen to break down food materials to produce energy.
Answer:
The empirical formula for the compound is C3H4O3
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Carbon (C) = 40.92%
Hydrogen (H) = 4.58%
Oxygen (O) = 54.50%
The empirical formula for the compound can be obtained as follow:
C = 40.92%
H = 4.58%
O = 54.50%
Divide by their molar mass
C = 40.92/12 = 3.41
H = 4.58/1 = 4.58
O = 54.50/16 = 3.41
Divide by the smallest i.e 3.41
C = 3.41/3.41 = 1
H = 4.58/3.41 = 1.3
O = 3.41/3.41 = 1
Multiply through by 3 to express in whole number
C = 1 x 3 = 3
H = 1.3 x 3 = 4
O = 1 x 3 = 3
The empirical formula for the compound is C3H4O3
