Chemistry
1 answer:
nikitadnepr [17]2 years ago
3 0

Answer : The types of radiation known to be emitted by radioactive elements are, alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays.

Explanation :

Radioactive decay : It the process in which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by emitting the radiations like, alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays.

The naturally occurring radioactive elements are, radium, thorium, and uranium.

Alpha particle : It is also known as alpha radiation or alpha ray that consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons that are bound together into a particle that is identical to the helium nucleus. It is produced in the process of alpha decay.

Beta particle : It is also known as beta radiation or beta ray. During the beta decay process, a high energy and speed electron or positron are emitted by the radioactive decay of atomic nucleus.

Gamma particle : It is also a gamma radiation or gamma ray that is arising from the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei. It has shortest wavelength waves and imparts high photon energy can pass through most forms of matters because they have no mass.

A roller coasters racing down the track is potential energy or kinetic energy
Natalija [7]
Potential energy is not in motion, which means the roller coaster wouldn't be moving. do therefore it is kenetic energy because that means movement energy. hope this helps

Dilution question In many of the experiments, you will be asked to prepare a standard solution by diluting a stock solution. You
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

We could do two 1:50 dilutions and one 1:4 dilutions.

Explanation:

Hi there!

A solution that is 1000 ug/ ml  (or 1000 mg / l) is 1000 ppm.

Knowing that 1 ppm = 1000 ppb, 100 ppb is 0.1 ppm.

Then, we have to dilute the stock solution (1000 ppm / 0.1 ppm) 10000 times.

We could do two 1:50 dilutions and one 1:4 dilutions (50 · 50 · 4 = 10000). Since the first dilution is 1:50, you will use the smallest quantity of the stock solution (if we use the 10.00 ml flask):

First step (1:50 dilution):

Take 0.2 ml of the stock solution using the third dispenser (20 - 200 ul), and pour it in the 10.00 ml flask. Fill with water to the mark (concentration : 1000 ppm / 50 = 20 ppm).

Step 2 (1:50 dilution):

Take 0.2 ml of the solution made in step 1 and pour it in another 10.00 ml flask. Fill with water to the mark. Concentration 20 ppm/ 50 = 0.4 ppm)

Step 3 (1:4 dilution):

Take 2.5 ml of the solution made in step 3 (using the first dispenser 1 - 5 ml) and pour it in a 10.00 ml flask. Fill with water to the mark. Concentration 0.4 ppm / 4 = 0.1 ppm = 100 ppb.

What statement is incorrect about this oxidation-reduction reaction? 2 SO2(g) + O2(g) → 2 SO3(g) What statement is incorrect abo
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

The incorrect statement is: SO₂ gains electrons                      

Explanation:

A chemical reaction that involves the simultaneous transfer of electrons between two chemical species, is known as the redox reaction.

Given chemical reaction: 2SO₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2SO₃(g)

In this redox reaction, S is present in +4 oxidation state in SO₂ and +6 oxidation state SO₃. Whereas, O is present in 0 oxidation state in O₂ and -2 oxidation state in SO₃.

<u>Therefore, SO₂ loses electrons and thus gets oxidized. Whereas, O₂ gains electrons and thus gets reduced. </u>

<u>In this reaction, SO₂ is the reducing agent and O₂ is the oxidizing agent.</u>
