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).

Which sample contains a total of 3.0 x 10^23 molecules?
belka [17]
Given that 1 mole contains 6.02x10^23 molecules, 3.0x10^23 is just around half a mole. Then we check the number of moles for each choice:

A. This is approximately half a mole, since the molar mass of Br2 is 159.8 g/mol.
B. He has a molar mass around 4 g/mol, so this is 1 mole.
C. H2 has a molar mass of 2.02 g/mol, so this is 2 moles.
D. Li has a molar mass of around 6.97 g/mol, so this is around 2 moles.

Therefore the only choice that fits is A. 80 g of Br2.

If an ideal gas at a constant temperature is initially at a pressure of 3.8 atm and is then allowed to expand to a volume of 5.6
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The most common example is the molar volume of a gas at STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure), which is equal to 22.4 L for 1 mole of any ideal gas at a temperature equal to 273.15 K and a pressure equal to 1.00 atm.If an ideal gas at a constant temperature is initially at a pressure of 3.8 atm and is then allowed to expand to a volume of 5.6 L and a pressure of 2.1 - 18914… ... of 5.6 L and a pressure of 2.1 atm, what is the initial volume of the gas? ... An ideal gas is at a pressure of 1.4 atm and has a volume of 3 L.
