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 25 liter balloon holding 1.5 moles of carbon dioxide leaks. If we are able to determine that 0.9 moles of carbon dioxide escap
ad-work [718]

Answer:

10 Litre

Explanation:

Given that ::

v1 = 25L ; n1 = 1.5 mole ; v2 =? ; n2 = (1.5-0.9) = 0.6 mole

Using the relation :

(n2 * v1) / n1 = (n2 * v2) / n2

v2 = (n2 * v1) / n1

v2 = (0.6 mole * 25 Litre) / 1.5 mole

v2 = 15 / 1.5 litre

v2 = 10 Litre
