Evgen [1.6K]3 years ago
8 0
There are usually 3 topics used to compare types of radiation: 

Ionising ability
Penetrative power 
Range in air

Ionising ability
Alpha radiation has strong ionising ability, while beta only has moderate ionisation and gamma is very weakly ionising.

Penetrative power 
Alpha particles are weakly penetrating, stopped by paper, while beta particles have stronger penetrating ability, stopped by skin and gamma radiation is very strongly penetrating, stopped only by thick layers of lead.

Range in air
Alpha particles- range of only a few centimetres
Beta - range of up to one meter 
Gamma- infinite range in air.

Hope this helps:)

What is the total mass of KNO3 that must be dissolved in 50. grams of H2O at 60.°C to make a saturated solution?
IRINA_888 [86]

at 60ºC:

106 g KNO₃ -------------- 100 g (H₂O)
? g KNO₃ ------------------ 50.0 g (H₂O)

mass KNO₃ = 50.0 * 106 / 100

mass KNO₃ = 5300 / 100

<span>= </span>53 g of KNO₃

How many moles is in 2.52*10^24 molecules of water?
nataly862011 [7]
Hi friend
--------------
Your answer
-------------------

Water = H2O

Number of molecules in one mole of water = 6.022 × 10²³ [Avogadro's constant]

Given number of molecules = 2.52 × 10²³

So,
------

Number of moles =
\frac{2.52 \times 10 {}^{24} }{6.022 \times 10 {}^{23} }  \\  \\  = 4.184 \: (approximately)
