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 balanced equation for combustion in an acetylene torch is shown below: 2C2H2 + 5O2 → 4CO2 + 2H2O The acetylene tank contains
andriy [413]

Answer: 67.2 moles

Explanation: 2C_2H5+5O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+2H_2O

According to the given balanced equation, 2 moles of acetylene C_2H_2 combine with 5 moles of oxygen O_2  to produce 4 moles of carbon dioxide CO_2.

Thus if 2 moles of acetylene C_2H_2 combine with = 5 moles of oxygen O_2

35 moles of acetylene C_2H_2 combine with=\frac{5}{2}\times {35}=87.5 moles of oxygen O_2

But as only 84 moles of oxygen are available, acetylene is not a limiting reagent.

5 moles of oxygen O_2 reacts with = 2 moles of acetylene C_2H_2

84 moles of oxygen O_2 reacts with=\frac{2}{5}\times {84}=33.6 moles of acetylene C_2H_2

Thus Oxygen is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of products. Acetylene is excess reagent as it is present in excess.

2 moles of acetylene C_2H_2  produce= 4 moles of carbon dioxide CO_2.

33.6 moles of acetylene C_2H_2 produce=\frac{4}{2}\times {33.6}=67.2 moles of of carbon dioxide CO_2.

29. If a walnut is burned in a
harkovskaia [24]

Energy were released from the walnut, q = 1,673.6 J

<h3>Equation :</h3>

To find the energy using formula,

q = mcΔt

where,

q is charge

m is mass

c is specific heat of water

Δt is change in temperature

So, given

t₁ = 50°C

t₂ = 60°C

m = 40g

c = 4.184 J/g

Now putting the values known,

We get,

q = mc(t₂ - t₁)

q = 40g x 4.184 J/g x  (60 - 50)

q = 167.36 J x 10

q = 1,673.6 J

<h3>What is heat energy?</h3>

Heat is the thermal energy that is transferred when two systems with different surface temperatures come into contact. Heat is denoted by the letters q or Q and is measured in Joules.

How many grams of water do you need to weigh if a reaction requires 5 moles of h2o
rewona [7]

One mole of water weighs 18 grams. H₂O is composed of 2H= 2 and 1 0=16 adding gives you 18. number of moles= mass/ Relative Molecular Mass

Therefore, mass= Relative Molecular Mass×number of moles

                           = 18×5 moles

                           = 90 grams
