Gamma radiation have the most penetrating power. It can penetrate through human body, aluminum and other metals. It can be stopped by lead. Hence, the radioactive waste are stored in lead container for safety purposes. The beta ray has more penetrating power than the alpha but less than gamma. The beta radiations can be stopped by aluminum. The alpha radiations have least penetrating power and it can be stopped by human hands.

slega [8]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\math{\dfrac{\text{6 mol thiosulfate}}{\text{1 mol iodate}}}}

Explanation:

The I₂ is the common substance in the two equations.

(1) IO₃⁻ + 5I⁻ + 6H⁺ ⟶ 3I₂ + 3H₂O

{2) I₂ + 2S₂O₃²⁻ ⟶ 2I⁻ + S₄O₆²⁻

From Equation (1), the molar ratio of iodate to iodine is

\dfrac{\text{I}_{2}}{\text{IO}_{3}^{-}} = \dfrac{3}{1}

From Equation (2), the molar ratio of iodine to thiosulfate is

\dfrac{\text{S$_{2}$O}_{3}^{2-}}{\text{I}_{2}} = \dfrac{2}{1}

Combining the two ratios, we get

\text{Stoichiometric factor} = \dfrac{\text{S$_{2}$O}_{3}^{2-}}{\text{IO}_{3}^{-}} = \dfrac{\text{S$_{2}$O}_{3}^{2-}}{\text{I}_{2}} \times \dfrac{\text{I}_{2}}{\text{IO}_{3}^{-}} = \dfrac{2}{1} \times \dfrac{3}{1} = \mathbf{\dfrac{6}{1}}\\\\\text{The stoichiometric factor is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{\dfrac{\text{6 mol thiosulfate}}{\text{1 mol iodate}}}}$}

Based on the passage , where in the United States would a physician encounter the most cases of SAD ?
Montano1993 [528]

Answer/Explanation:

We cannot see the passage, but SAD stands for Seasonal Affective Disorder. SAD is a type of depressive disorder related to lack of light, and therefore changes with the seasons. It is a severe version of the "winter blues"

In the winter months, where the days are shorter, individuals who suffer from SAD suffer from mood changes. They get depressed, have a reduction in energy levels, and withdraw socially. They may also gain weight. This causes problems with relationships, work, and school.

Since SAD is linked to light, SAD is likely more common in the Northern areas of the United States, where winter days are shorter.

It is common for students to overshoot the endpoint, meaning they add too much NaOH(aq) from the buret, which causes the solutio
umka2103 [35]

Answer: the percentage of acetic acid will be low.

Explanation: The major aim during titration of acids and bases is to  determine the endpoint , that is exact point where the acid  in the beaker changes colour, (in this case, pink )with an additional  drop from the burette containing the base, since it is usually difficult to mark the equivalence point that tells us when  all the substrate in the beaker has been neutralized completely with the buretted substance.

Overshooting the end point is  an error which can occur when the person involved in the  the titration accidently goes beyond this  endpoint by adding too much of the substance(base) from the burette into the beaker missing the exact endpoint.

This implies that the person  has  added too much of the burreted liquid, ie the base than required  , making the acid in the beaker to continue to react resulting  to a lower concentration of the acid (acetic acid)  with excess base.(NaOH)
