What effect does nuclear radiation have on atoms?

Chemistry

1 answer:

marishachu [46]2 years ago

7 0

Answer:

It ionizes atoms.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three types of nuclear radiation:

α rays
β rays
γ rays

All of these have enough energy that they can remove an electron from an atom and cause it to become charged or ionized.

A is wrong. Ionizing radiation does not have enough energy to split atoms.

B is wrong. Nuclear radiation does not involve burning — the reaction of atoms with oxygen.

A 7.36 g sample of copper is contaminated with a additional 0.51 g sample of zinc. suppose an atomic mass measurement was perfor

OleMash [197]

The average molecular weight of the mixture can be calculated using this formula:
MWav = x1MW1 + x2MW2

Where x is the mass fraction of the components of the mixture, in this case, copper (63.546 g/mol) and zinc (65.38 g/mol).

x1 = 7.36 / (7.36+0.51)=0.935
x2 = 0.51 / (7.36+0.51)=0.065

So,
MWav = 0.935(63.546) + 0.065(65.38) = 63.665 g/mol

Which statement describes the Arrhenius interpretation of acids and bases?

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

D. It is limited to situations that involve aqueous solutions or specific compounds.

Explanation:

An Arrhenius acid is a substance that increases the concentration of H3O or H+ when dissolved in water. An Arrhenius base is a substance that increases the concentration of OH- when dissolved in water. These definitions tell us that D is indeed limited to situations that involve aqueous solutions or specific compounds, as aqueous means something that's dissolved in water.

A is wrong because the Bronsted-Lowry interpretation has a wider range of applications. Bronsted-Lowry acids and bases don't even need to be aqueous, so it is not limited to just aqueous solutions. They include any substance that can donate or accept a H+.

B is wrong because A is wrong. A and B basically say the same thing, that the Arrhenius interpretation has a wider range of applications than the Bronsted-Lowry interpretation.

C is wrong because the definition of an Arrhenius base is any substance that increases the concentration of OH-, or hydroxide ions. C completely counters this statement.
