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 gas contains 0.1500 mol of HCl(g) and 7.500×10-2 mol of Br2(g) and occupies a volume of 9.63 L. The following reacti

Furkat [3]

Answer:

9.63 L.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the undergoing chemical reaction is:

$2HCl(g) + Br_2(g)\rightarrow 2HBr(g) + Cl_2(g)$

So the consumed amounts of hydrochloric acid and bromine are the same to the beginning based on:

$n_{Br_2}^{consumed}=0.1500molHCl*\frac{1molBr_2}{2molHCl}=0.075molBr_2$

In such a way, the yielded moles of hydrobromic acid and chlorine are:

$n_{HBr}=0.1500molHCl*\frac{2molHBr}{2molHCl}=0.1500molHBr \\n_{Cl_2}=0.1500molHCl*\frac{1molCl_2}{2molHCl}=0.075molCl_2$

Thus, the volume of the sample, after the reaction is the same as no change in the total moles is evidenced, that is 9.63L.

Best regards.
