What effect does nuclear radiation have on atoms?

Chemistry
1 answer:
marishachu [46]3 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 <em>wrong</em>. Ionizing radiation does not have enough energy to split atoms.

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

The reaction between the reactants would be:

CH₃NH₂ + HCl ↔ CH₃NH₃⁺ + Cl⁻

Let the conjugate acid undergo hydrolysis. Then, apply the ICE approach.

             CH₃NH₃⁺ + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + CH₃NH₂
I                0.11                       0             0
C               -x                          +x           +x
E            0.11 - x                     x             x

Ka = [H₃O⁺][CH₃NH₂]/[CH₃NH₃⁺]

Since the given information is Kb, let's find Ka in terms of Kb.

Ka = Kw/Kb, where Kw = 10⁻¹⁴

So,
Ka = 10⁻¹⁴/5×10⁻⁴ = 2×10⁻¹¹ = [H₃O⁺][CH₃NH₂]/[CH₃NH₃⁺]
2×10⁻¹¹ = [x][x]/[0.11-x]
Solving for x,
x = 1.483×10⁻⁶ = [H₃O⁺]

Since pH = -log[H₃O⁺],
pH = -log(1.483×10⁻⁶)
<em>pH = 5.83</em>
