Which nuclear decay emission has the weakest penetrating power?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Romashka [77]3 years ago
3 0
Alpha particle is the nuclear decay emission that has the weakest penetrating power. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option or option "1". Gamma is a type of radiation and so can be negated as a particle. Alpha particles have the largest radiation and so the weakest penetrating power.

The atomic symbol Superscript 206 subscript 82 upper P b. represents lead-206 (Pb-206), an isotope that has 82 protons and 124 n
Serggg [28]

Answer:

\left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb \right.

Explanation:

isotopes are various forms of same elements with different atomic number but different mass number.

Radioactivity is the emission of rays or particles from an atom to produce a new nuclei. There are various forms of radioactive emissions which are

  • Alpha particle emission  \left \{ {{y=4} \atop {x=2}}He \right.
  • Beta particle emission    \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=-1}}e \right.
  • gamma radiation             \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=0}}γ \right.

in the problem the product formed after radiation was Pb-206. isotopes of lead include Pb-204, Pb-206, Pb-207, Pb-208. they all have atomic number 82. which means the radiation cannot be ∝ or β since both radiations will alter the atomic number of the parent nucleus.

Only gamma radiation with \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=0}}γ \right. will produce a Pb-206 of atomic number 82 and mass number 206 , since gamma ray have 0 mass and has 0 atomic number.equation is shown below

\left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb\right ⇒ \left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb\right +  \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=0}}γ\right.

Thus the atomic symbol is \left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb\right

Sodium reacts with chlorine gas according to the following reaction: 2Na(s)+Cl2(g)→2NaCl(s) What volume of Cl2 gas, measured at
asambeis [7]

Answer:6.719Litres of Cl2 gas.

Explanation:According to eqn of rxn

2Na +Cl2=2NaCl

P=689torr=689/760=0.91atm

T=39°C+273=312K

according to stoichiometry of the reaction,1Moles of Cl2 gives 2moles of NaCl

But 28g of NaCl was given,we have to convert this to moles by using the relation, n=mass/MW

MW of NaCl=23+35.5=58.5g/mol

n=28g(mass given of NaCl)/58.5

n=0.479moles of NaCl

Going back to the reaction,

if 1moles of Cl2 produces 2moles of NaCl

x moles of Cl2 will give 0.479moles of NaCl.

x=0.479*1/2

x=0.239moles of Cl2.

To find the volume, we use ideal ggas eqn,PV=nRT

V=nRT/P

V=0.239*0.082*312/0.91

V=6.719Litres

1. A gas expands and does p-v work on the surroundings equal to
azamat

The change in energy of the system : -63 J

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

279 J work

216 J heat

Required

The change in energy

Solution

Laws of thermodynamics 1

ΔU=Q+W

Rules :

  • receives heat, Q +  
  • releases heat, Q -  
  • work is done by a system, W -  
  • work is done on a system, W +  

a gas work on the surrounding : W =-279 J

a gas absorb heat from surrounding : Q = +216 J

Internal energy :

= -279+216

= -63 J
