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

Chemistry
2 answers:
Llana [10]3 years ago
8 0

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.

Consider the following reaction:
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

A. ΔG° = 132.5 kJ

B. ΔG° = 13.69 kJ

C. ΔG° = -58.59 kJ

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

We can calculate the standard enthalpy of the reaction (ΔH°) using the following expression.

ΔH° = ∑np . ΔH°f(p) - ∑nr . ΔH°f(r)

where,

n: moles

ΔH°f: standard enthalpy of formation

ΔH° = 1 mol × ΔH°f(CaO(s)) + 1 mol × ΔH°f(CO₂(g)) - 1 mol × ΔH°f(CaCO₃(s))

ΔH° = 1 mol × (-635.1 kJ/mol) + 1 mol × (-393.5 kJ/mol) - 1 mol × (-1206.9 kJ/mol)

ΔH° = 178.3 kJ

We can calculate the standard entropy of the reaction (ΔS°) using the following expression.

ΔS° = ∑np . S°p - ∑nr . S°r

where,

S: standard entropy

ΔS° = 1 mol × S°(CaO(s)) + 1 mol × S°(CO₂(g)) - 1 mol × S°(CaCO₃(s))

ΔS° = 1 mol × (39.75 J/K.mol) + 1 mol × (213.74 J/K.mol) - 1 mol × (92.9 J/K.mol)

ΔS° = 160.6 J/K. = 0.1606 kJ/K.

We can calculate the standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction (ΔG°) using the following expression.

ΔG° = ΔH° - T.ΔS°

where,

T: absolute temperature

<h3>A. 285 K</h3>

ΔG° = ΔH° - T.ΔS°

ΔG° = 178.3 kJ - 285K × 0.1606 kJ/K = 132.5 kJ

<h3>B. 1025 K</h3>

ΔG° = ΔH° - T.ΔS°

ΔG° = 178.3 kJ - 1025K × 0.1606 kJ/K = 13.69 kJ

<h3>C. 1475 K</h3>

ΔG° = ΔH° - T.ΔS°

ΔG° = 178.3 kJ - 1475K × 0.1606 kJ/K = -58.59 kJ

A 13-gram rubber stopper is attached to a 0.93-meter
makkiz [27]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

The centripetal acceleration is 26.38 m/s²

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

  • Mass of rubber stopper = 13 g
  • Length of the string(radius) = 0.93 m
  • Time for one revolution = 1.18 seconds

We are required to calculate the centripetal acceleration.

To get the centripetal acceleration is given by the formula;

Centripetal acc = V²/r

Where, V is the velocity and r is the radius.

Since time for 1 revolution is 1.18 seconds,

Then, V = 2πr/t, taking π to be 3.142 ( 1 revolution = 2πr)

Therefore;

Velocity = (2 × 3.142 × 0.93 m) ÷ 1.18 sec

             = 4.953 m/s

Thus;

Centripetal acceleration = (4.953 m/s)² ÷ 0.93 m

                                        = 26.38 m/s²

Hence, the centripetal acceleration is 26.38 m/s²
