Which is the correct ascending order for radioactive particles with regard to their ability to ionize air?

Chemistry

Llana [10]3 years ago

Answer:

The ascending order is

gamma < beta > alpha.

Explanation:

the ionizing power of radioactive particles is the ability to remove electron from the matter (here the air).

The ionizing power is directly related to the size or mass of the radioactive particle.

Out of the most three common radioactive particles, Alpha particles are heaviest one and considered to be thousands times heaver than beta particles.  Thus alpha particles have the greater ionization ability among the three. Then the beta particles are heavier than gamma particles thus the gamma particles have least power to ionize.

How does the electron-cloud model describe electrons?
Sav [38]

Answer:

C. An electron has a high probability of being in certain regions.

Explanation:

In the electron cloud model, there are no electron-orbits around the nucleus but a cloud. This cloud has various densities with respect to distance from the nucleus. The most dense region of the cloud (which is the region close to the nucleus) is where electrons has the highest probability of existence.

The model explains that an electron a greater chance of being in the region closer to the nucleus. Thus, an electron has a high probability of being in certain region of the cloud about the central nucleus. And an electrostatic force exists between the nucleus and the electrons.

Acetylene, C2H2, can be converted to ethane, C2H6, by a process known as hydrogenation. The reaction is C2H2(g) + 2H2(g) ⇌ C2H6(
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

-255.4 kJ

Explanation:

The free energy of a reversible reaction can be calculated by:

ΔG = (ΔG° + RTlnQ)*n

Where R is the gas constant (8.314x10⁻³ kJ/mol.K), T is the temperature in K, n is the number of moles of the products (n =1), and Q is the reaction quotient, which is calculated based on the multiplication of partial pressures by the partial pressure of the products elevated by their coefficient divide by the multiplication of the partial pressure of the reactants elevated by their coefficients.

C₂H₂(g) + 2H₂(g) ⇄ C₂H₆(g)

Q = pC₂H₆/[pC₂H₂ * (pH₂)²]

Q = 0.261/[8.58*(3.06)²]

Q = 3.2487x10⁻³

ΔG = -241.2 + 8.314x10⁻³x298*ln(3.2487x10⁻³)

ΔG = -255.4 kJ
