Answer:

773.43 torr

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Pressure (in inHg) = 30.45 inHg

Pressure (in torr) =?

We can convert 30.45 inHg to torr by doing the following:

1 inHg = 25.4 torr

Therefore,

30.45 inHg = 30.45 inHg × 25.4 torr / 1 inHg

30.45 inhg = 773.43 torr

Thus, 30.45 inhg is equivalent to 773.43 torr

9A. A sample of hydrogen at 1.56 atm had it's pressure decreased to 0.73
densk [106]

Answer:

351.43mL

Explanation:

To calculate the original volume of hydrogen gas in this question, the Boyle's law equation will be used. Boyle's law equation is:

P1V1 = P2V2

Where; P1 = initial pressure

V1 = initial volume

P2 = final pressure

V2 = final volume

According to this question, the P1= 1.56atm, V1 = ?, P2 = 0.73atm, V2 = 751mL

Hence;

P1V1 = P2V2

1.56 × V1 = 0.73 × 751

1.56 V1 = 548.23

V1 = 548.23/1.56

V1 = 351.43mL

Therefore, the original volume of hydrogen gas is 351.43 mL.

Compare and contrast alpha beta and gamma radiation
Evgen [1.6K]
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:)
