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.

The ph of 0.015 m hno2 (nitrous acid) aqueous solution was measured to be 2.63. what is the value of pka of nitrous acid?
Licemer1 [7]
Nitrous acid<span> dissociates as follows:
</span>
HNO₂(s) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + NO₂⁻(aq) 
           
According to the equation, an acid constant has the following form:

Ka = [H⁺] × [NO₂⁻ ] / [HNO₂] 

From pH, we can calculate the concentration of H⁺ and NO₂⁻:

[H⁺] = 10^-pH = 10^-2.63 = 0.00234 M = [NO₂⁻]

Now, the acid constant can be calculated:

Ka = 0.00234 x 0.00234 / 0.015  = 3.66 x 10⁻⁴

And finally,

pKa = -log Ka = 3.44

Coal like graphite is composed of carbon. Unlike graphite, coal is formed by decayed, once living matter. Is it a mineral?
Simora [160]
Coal is not a mineral. It's not a mineral because minerals are inorganic. Coal is organic because it comes from decayed living matter.

Question 21
Mumz [18]
There are 2 moles of O stones present in 88 grams of CO2. Why? Well, we can find the amount of moles present in 88 grams of CO2 by dividing the mass by the molar mass. The mass of CO2 comes out to be 88 grams. The molar mass of CO2 comes out to be 44 grams. Because 88 is the mass of CO2 and 44 is the molar mass of CO2, we can divide 88 by 44 to identify that there are 2.0 moles of O atoms present in 88 grams of CO2.

Your final answer: There are 2.0 moles of O atoms present in 88 grams of CO2. Your final answer to this question is D, or 2.0 moles. If you need to better understand, let me know and I will gladly assist you.
