Compare and contrast alpha beta and gamma radiation

Chemistry
1 answer:
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:)

Answer: The enthalpy of formation of SO_3 is  -396 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Calculating the enthalpy of formation of SO_3

The chemical equation for the combustion of propane follows:

2SO_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SO_3(g)

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(2\times \Delta H^o_f_{(SO_3(g))})]-[(2\times \Delta H^o_f_{(SO_2(g))})+(1\times \Delta H^o_f_{(O_2(g))})]

We are given:

\Delta H^o_f_{(O_2(g))}=0kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(SO_2(g))}=-297kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_{rxn}=-198kJ

Putting values in above equation, we get:

-198=[(2\times \Delta H^o_f_{(SO_3(g))})]-[(2\times \Delta -297)+(1\times (0))]\\\\\Delta H^o_f_{(SO_3(g))}=-396kJ/mol

The enthalpy of formation of SO_3 is -396 kJ/mol

A burner on a stove produces temperature. thermal energy. hotness. fire energy.
Aleksandr [31]

Question:

The options are;

a. Temperature

b. Thermal Energy

c. Hotness

d. Fire Energy

Answer:

The correct option is;

b. Thermal energy

Explanation:

A burner on a stove produces thermal energy which is used to raise the temperature of the metal container (kettle, pot or pans) in which items are placed for heating.

Thermal energy is the internal energy of the system given off as heat which when transferred from one body to another causes the temperature of the receiving body to rise. Thermal energy in a burner is given off when the gaseous fuel reacts or burns in the presence of or with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor in an exothermic reaction.

4C + 5H₂ + 13/2O₂ (-125 kJ) → C₄H₁₀ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O (-2877 kJ).
