Answer:
Here's what I find.
Explanation:
Iodine-131
Iodine-131 is both a beta emitter and a gamma emitter.
About 90 % of the energy is β-radiation and 10 % is γ-radiation. Both forms are highly energetic.
The main danger is from ingestion. The iodine concentrates in thyroid gland, where the β-radiation destroys cells up to 2 mm from the tissues that absorbed it.
Both the β- and γ-radiation cause cell mutations that can later become cancerous. Small doses, such as those absorbed from the nuclear disasters in the Ukraine and Japan, can cause cancers years after the original iodine has disappeared.
Plutonium-239
Plutonium-239 is an alpha emitter.
Alpha particles cannot penetrate the skin, so external exposure isn't much of a health risk.
However, they are extremely dangerous when they are inhaled and get inside cells. They travel first to the blood or lymph system and later to the bone marrow and liver, where they cause up to 1000 times more chromosomal damage than beta or gamma rays.
It takes about 20 years for plutonium to be eliminated from the liver around 50 years for from the skeleton, so it has a long time to cause damage.
There are 1.078 x 10²³ molecules
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
4 dm³ = 4 L Nitrogen gas
Required
Number of molecules
Solution
Assumptions on STP (1 atm, 273 K), 1 mol gas = 22.4 L, so for 4 L :
mol = 4 : 22.4
mol = 0.179
1 mol = 6.02 x 10²³ particles(molecules, atoms)
For 0.179 :
= 0.179 x 6.02 x 10²³
= 1.078 x 10²³
Answer:
In a chemical reaction, chemical equilibrium is the state in which the forward reaction rate and the reverse reaction rate are equal. The result of this equilibrium is that the concentrations of the reactants and the products do not change.
Explanation:
Answer:
1: due to difference in reactivity and melting point
2 during the reaction both combine with oxygen in this case magnesium remain solid but some potassium vaporise
Answer:
solid has definite shape and volume.
liquid do not have definite shape but have definite volume.
gas do not have definite shape and definite volume.
solid have lowest compressibility out of three, liquid have more compressibility than solid but less than gases. gases have the highest compressibility out of three. Molecules in the solid phase have the least amount of energy, while gas particles have the greatest amount of energy. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.
