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.

A gas mixture contains 3.0 mol of hydrogen (H2) and 7.3 mol of nitrogen (N2). The total pressure of the mixture is 304 kPa. What
Inga [223]

Answer:

Mole fraction H₂ = 0.29

Partial pressure of H₂ → 88.5 kPa

Explanation:

You need to know this relation to solve this:

Moles of a gas / Total moles = Partial pressure of the gas / Total pressure

Total moles = 3 mol + 7.3 mol → 10.3 moles

Mole fraction H₂ → 3 moles / 10.3 moles = 0.29

Mole fraction = Partial pressure of the gas / Total pressure

0.29 . 304 kPa = Partial pressure of H₂ → 88.5 kPa

You drop a rock weighing 23.2 g into a graduated cylinder that contains 55 mL. The level
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

<h2>3.31 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

mass = 23.2 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 62 - 55 = 7 mL

We have

density =  \frac{23.2}{7}  \\  = 3.314285

We have the final answer as

<h3>3.31 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

What is the function of spinal fluid?
-Dominant- [34]
I think the best answer is that the spinal fluid surrounds and protects the backbone. Also, it protects the brain from trauma. It acts as a shock absorber. It supplies nutrients to the nervous system tissue and removes waste products from the brain.
