This is true.
Beta and Gamma radiation are the most dangerous because they can penetrate the skin, and damage the cells inside.

Alpha is the least dangerous.

If I have 72 liters of argon gas held at a pressure of 3.4 atm and a temperature of 225k how many grams of argon do I have

andrezito [222]

Answer:

516.77 grams of Argon gas is present

Explanation:

Using the gas formula

PV = nRT

number of moles (n) = mass / molar weight or mass

P = pressure = 3.4 atm

V = volume = 72 L

R = gas constant = 0.082 L atm mol^-1 K^-1

T = temperature = 225 K

MM = molar mass of Ar = 38.984 g/mol

PV = mRT/ MM

m = PV MM / RT

m = 3.4 * 72 * 38.948 / 0.082 * 225

m = 9534.4704 / 18.45

m = 516.77 grams

the mass of Ar gas you have is 516.77 grams.

What is the percent yield if 107.50 g NH3 reacts with excess O2 according to the

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

81.59%

Explanation:

4NH₃ + 5O₂ → 4NO + 6H₂O

First we convert 107.50 g of NH₃ into moles, using its molar mass:

107.50 g NH₃ ÷ 17 g/mol = 6.32 mol NH₃

Now we calculate how many moles of NO would have been formed by the complete reaction of 6.32 moles of NH₃:

6.32 mol NH₃ * $\frac{4molNO}{4molNH_3}$ = 6.32 mol NO

Then we convert 6.32 moles of NO to grams, using its molar mass:

6.32 mol NO * 30 g/mol = 189.60 g NO

Finally we calculate the percent yield:

154.70 g / 189.60 g * 100% = 81.59%

The trend of this graph is a. Negative b. Positive c. Zero

Sveta_85 [38]

B. positive because y increases as x does. It it were negative y would decrease as x increases and it would be 0 if y stayed the same as x increases.
