Which radioactive emission has the smallest (least) mass? Question options:

Chemistry
1 answer:
Tems11 [23]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The answer is D. gamma rays

Explanation:

A radioactive atom can have three different types of emission:

alpha particles (α) = they have a mass of 4 amu and they have a very low penetrating power.

Beta particles (β) = they have 5x10^{-4} amu and they have an intermediate penetrating power

Gamma rays (γ) = they are not particles basically just energy so its mass is ≈ 0 and its penetrating power is higher

For this reason Gamma emissions (γ) has the smallest mass value.

Observando la siguiente reacción química: 3Fe + 4H2 O Fe3 O4 + H2(g) 4. Contesta ¿Por qué si se lleva a cabo en el recipiente ab
wolverine [178]

Answer:

La reacción se convierte en reversible porque en un recipiente cerrado el gas no escapa y puede reaccionar con el óxido

Explanation:

Basados en la reacción:

3Fe + 4H₂O → Fe₃O₄ + 4H₂(g)

<em>3 moles de hierro con 4 moles de agua producen 1 mol de óxido de hierro y 4 moles de hidrógeno (gas)</em>

Cuando la reacción se está produciendo con un recipiente abierto, todo el gas de hidrógeno está escapando a la atmósfera y no habrá forma de que reaccione con el óxido de hierro.

Pero, si el recipiente está cerrado, el hidrógeno no podrá escapar y podrá reaccionar con el óxido de hierro, así:

Fe₃O₄ + 4H₂(g) → 3Fe + 4H₂O

De esta manera,

In a redox reaction, one of the reactants must release
Leviafan [203]
Redox reaction is the reduction and oxidation reaction. It is a chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons. It can mean loss of oxygen (oxidation) or gain of electrons (reduction). Oxydation is the process of where a sustance loses electrons, gains an oxygen atom/s, loses a hydrogen atom/s.  reduction is the opposite.
In a redox reaction, one of the reactants must release electrons.
