Answer:
Here's what I find.
Explanation:
Iodine-131
Iodine-131 is both a beta emitter and a gamma emitter.
About 90 % of the energy is β-radiation and 10 % is γ-radiation. Both forms are highly energetic.
The main danger is from ingestion. The iodine concentrates in thyroid gland, where the β-radiation destroys cells up to 2 mm from the tissues that absorbed it.
Both the β- and γ-radiation cause cell mutations that can later become cancerous. Small doses, such as those absorbed from the nuclear disasters in the Ukraine and Japan, can cause cancers years after the original iodine has disappeared.
Plutonium-239
Plutonium-239 is an alpha emitter.
Alpha particles cannot penetrate the skin, so external exposure isn't much of a health risk.
However, they are extremely dangerous when they are inhaled and get inside cells. They travel first to the blood or lymph system and later to the bone marrow and liver, where they cause up to 1000 times more chromosomal damage than beta or gamma rays.
It takes about 20 years for plutonium to be eliminated from the liver around 50 years for from the skeleton, so it has a long time to cause damage.
Answer:
see calculations in explanation
Explanation:
percent = part/total x 100%
part = ∑ atomic mass of element
- hydrogen = 1.008 amu (atomic mass units)
- carbon = 12.011 amu
- nitrogen = 14.007 amu
total = ∑ molecular mass of compound
= H amu + C amu + Namu
= 1.008 amu + 12.011 amu + 14.007 amu
= 27.026 amu
%H = (1.008amu/27.026amu)100% = 3.730%
%C = (12.011amu/27.026amu)100% = 44.442%
%N = (14.007amu/27.026amu)100% = 51.827%
Check results ∑%values = 100%
3.730% + 44.442% + 51.827% = 99.999% ≅ 100%
The volume did not change, it remained at 20 ml
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
20 ml a sample gas at STP(273 K, 1 atm)
T₂=546 K
P₂=2 atm
Required
The volume
Solution
Combined gas Law :
Input the value :
The volume does not change because the pressure and temperature are increased by the same ratio as the initial conditions (to 2x)
Answer:
There are 2 hydrogen atoms, one magnesium atom, and 5 atoms in total.
Explanation:
We are given a compound in formula form. To make things easier to understand, we can first convert this to the name of the compound.
- When a compound contains one or more elements in parentheses, these are usually a <u>polyatomic ion</u>.
- Polyatomic ions are ions made up of two or more elements with a positive or negative charge over the entire ion. Commons examples of these NH₄⁺ (ammonia) and HCO₃⁻ (bicarbonate).
- You can combine metals with polyatomic ions to create commonly known compounds, such as baking soda. The chemical name for baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, so we can combine Na (sodium) with HCO₃⁻ (bicarbonate) and create sodium bicarbonate: NaHCO₃.
This compound is one magnesium atom bonded to two hydroxide ions.
- Hydroxide is the compound between one hydrogen atom and one oxygen atom. The compound overall adopts a negative charge of 1.
- If we have one hydrogen atom and one oxygen atom, the most electronegative atom is written first in chemical formulas. Therefore, the symbol for Oxygen (O) goes first.
- Then, write in the hydrogen atom directly after the O symbol: OH.
- Finally, since we have a negative charge on the ion, we need to play a negative sign as a superscript for the compound. Therefore, this becomes OH⁻.
Now, we need to determine the charge on the Magnesium atom which is determined from the amount of valence electrons the atom has.
- On a periodic table, the symbol for Magnesium is Mg and this element has 2 valence electrons.
- In order to fulfill the Octet Rule, the It is more likely to give up 2 electrons to a nonmetal than it is to gain 6, so we can safely assume that the charge is ²⁺.
- We need to use the criss-cross technique to transfer the charges between the element and the ion, so the negative 1 charge goes to the Mg, which does not appear (negative 1 or positive 1 are implied) and since the magnesium has a charge of positive 2, this is the subscript for the hydroxide ion.
- Therefore, our compound becomes Mg(OH)₂, and we have labeled this as magnesium hydroxide.
Now, to the number of atoms:
- The new charge on Mg is 1-, so there is only one atom of Mg.
- The charge is 2+ on the OH ion, so there are two atoms of H and two atoms of O.
- Two atoms of oxygen, two atoms of hydrogen, and one atom of magnesium add up to be five atoms in total.
