What similarities are there between Beta Radiation and Alpha Radiation

Chemistry
1 answer:
joja [24]3 years ago
5 0

The largest particle, Alpha, has the least penetrative power. Positive charge is carried by alpha particles. Two neutrons and two protons are bound together to form an alpha particle. The helium-4 nucleus was later identified as the alpha particle. Among the three types of radioactive emissions, alpha particles have the most mass. An alpha particle has approximately 8000 times the mass of a beta particle. The penetrative power of an alpha particle is reduced due to its large size.

Beta particles are negative-charged high-energy electrons or positrons. Beta particles have a higher penetrative power than alpha particles due to their smaller size.

Hope this helps and if it does, don't be afraid to give my answer a "Thanks" and maybe a Brainliest if it's correct?

Th e molar absorption coeffi cients of tryptophan and tyrosine at 240 nm are 2.00 × 103 dm3 mol−1 cm−1 and 1.12 × 104 dm3 mol−1
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

5.43x10⁻⁵ dm³mol⁻¹= Concentration of tyrosine

2.58x10⁻⁵ dm³mol⁻¹= Concentration of tryptophan

Explanation:

Lambert-Beer law is:

A = E×C×l

Where A is measured absorbance, E is absorption coefficient, C is concentration of solution and l is optical path length.

For the result at 240nm, it is possible to write:

0.660 = 2.00x10³ dm³mol⁻¹cm⁻¹× Ctry × 1cm + 1.12x10⁴ dm³mol⁻¹cm⁻¹× Ctyr × 1cm <em>(1)</em>

At 280 nm:

0.221 = 5.40x10³ dm³mol⁻¹cm⁻¹× Ctry × 1cm + 1.50x10³ dm³mol⁻¹cm⁻¹× Ctyr × 1cm <em>(2)</em>

<em></em>

Thus:

-2.7× (0.660 = 2.00x10³ × Ctry  + 1.12x10⁴ × Ctyr) =

-1.782 = -5.40x10³Ctry - 3.024x10⁴Ctyr

0.221 = 5.40x10³ × Ctry + 1.50x10³  × Ctyr

-------------------------------------------------------------------

-1.561 = -28740×Ctyr

<em>5.43x10⁻⁵ dm³mol⁻¹= Ctyr</em>

Replacing this value in (1) or (2) it is possible to find Ctry, that is:

<em>2.58x10⁻⁵ dm³mol⁻¹= Ctry</em>

Which has the higher percentage of aluminum, Al2O, or Al(NO3)3
Rzqust [24]

Al₂O  has a higher percentage of aluminium.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we have to compare the molar mass of the aluminium in each compound to one another as percentage of the whole compound:

Molar mass of Al₂O = 2(27) + 16 = 70g/mol

Molar mass of Al(NO₃)₃ = 27 + 3[14 + 3(16)] = 213g/mol

Percentage by mass of Al in Al₂O = \frac{2x27}{70} x 100 = 77%

Percentage by mass of Al in  Al(NO₃)₃ = \frac{27}{213} x 100 = 12.7%

Al₂O  has a higher percentage of aluminium.
