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

Chemistry

Llana [10]2 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.

A sample of the mineral hematite Iron (III) oxide has a mass of 12.4g. How many moles of the mineral are present?
8090 [49]

Thus problem is providing us with the mass of iron (III) oxide as 12.4 g so the moles are required and found to be 0.0776 mol after the calculations:

<h3>Mole-mass relationships:</h3>

In chemistry, we use mole-mass relationships in order to calculate grams from moles and vice versa. In this case, since we are given the mass of iron (III) oxide as 12.4 g one can calculate the moles by firstly quantifying its molar mass:

Fe_2O_3\rightarrow 2*55.85 g/mol+3*16.00 g/mol=159.7g/mol

Then, we prepare a conversion factor in order to cancel out the grams and thus, get moles:

12.4gFe_2O_3*\frac{1molFe_2O_3}{159.7gFe_2O_3} \\\\=0.0776molFe_2O_3

After 1 min, three radioactive nuclei remain from an original sample of six. Is it valid to conclude that t₁/₂ equals 1 min? Is
Harrizon [31]

Three of them may have decayed more quickly or more slowly than they should have according to the likelihood at that particular moment. However, suppose we have a lot of radioactive new Clyde's, say six times 10 to the 12, and we have three times 10 to the 12 in a minute. The rate may then be averaged out because there are a sufficient number of radioactive new Clyde's. Furthermore, we can say with confidence that the half life is one minute.

<h3>What is radioactivity?</h3>

Radioactivity, as its name suggests, is the act of generating radiation without any external cause. An atomic nucleus that is unstable for whatever reason does this by "wanting" to give up some energy in order to change its configuration to one that is more stable. Modern physics spent a lot of time in the first half of the 20th century figuring out why this occurs, which led to a pretty solid understanding of nuclear decay by 1960. A nucleus with too many neutrons will produce a negative beta particle, which will convert one of the neutrons into a proton. A nucleus with too many protons will emit positrons, which are positively charged electrons that turn protons into neutrons.

Answer:

K2Cr2O7

Explanation:

Solubility refers to the amount of substance that dissolves in a given mass or volume of solvent. There are several units of solubility applicable in different areas.

Solubility is dependent on temperature. The solubility curve is a graphical representation of the dependence of solubility on temperature for different chemical species.

If we study the solubility curve closely, we will see that K2Cr2O7 has the highest solubility at 100°C. This means that if the trends continue, this substance will also have the highest solubility at 120°C.
