Several centimeters of lead. Gamma rays have the highest penetrating power and therefore need a thick layer of something, in most cases lead, to prevent penetration. (This is why if you have ever go to the dentist they put a heavy thing on you made of lead, to prevent the penetration of gamma rays that can destroy your most important organs).

If a sample of neon gas at 25.00∘C and 0.500 atm is heated at a constant volume until the pressure is 0.850 atm, what must be th
Pie

Answer:

T₂ = 506.6 K

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial pressure of gas = 25°C (25+273 =298 K)

Initial temperature = 0.500 atm

Final pressure = 0.850 atm

Final temperature = ?

Solution:

According to Gay-Lussac Law,

The pressure of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant volume and number of moles.

Mathematical relationship:

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

Now we will put the values in formula:

0.500 atm / 298 K = 0.850 atm /T₂

T₂ = 0.850 atm × 298 K / 0.500 atm

T₂ = 253.3 atm. K / 0.500 atm

T₂ = 506.6 K

Consider the structures of benzaldehyde and benzyl alcohol. Benzene ring with a CH2OH attached Benzene ring with an aldehyde gro
damaskus [11]

Answer:

no equivalent peak, upfield between 0 and 3 ppm

Explanation:

NMR stands for nuclear magnetic resonance. It is a spectroscopic technique that is used for observing the local magnetic fields around an atomic nuclei. It is used to study the chemical, physical and biological properties of the matter.

In the context, the structures of the benzaldehyde and the benzyl alcohol are distinguished by the proton NMR. The hydrogen atom of aldehyde appears downfield between 9 and 11 ppm and also there is no equivalent peak for the alcohol.

The methylene hydrogens will only be significant upfield between the 0 and 3 ppm peak between the given structures.

Why alkali metals easly ionize
Dmitriy789 [7]
Here’s what I found:

It takes very little energy to remove that outermost electron from an alkali metal. Thus, alkali metals easily lose their outermost electron to become a +1 ion. ... In fact, as you go down the 1A column, the first ionization energies get lower and lower, making cesium the most easily ionized element on the periodic table.

So basically it’s because part of what makes alkali metals so reactive is that they have one electron in their outermost electron layer.
