What similarities are there between Beta Radiation and Alpha Radiation

Chemistry
1 answer:
joja [24]2 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?

<u>Given:</u>

Mass of calcium nitrate (Ca(NO3)2) = 96.1 g

<u>To determine:</u>

Theoretical yield of calcium phosphate, Ca3(PO4)2

<u>Explanation:</u>

Balanced Chemical reaction-

3Ca(NO3)2 + 2Na3PO4 → 6NaNO3 + Ca3(PO4)2

Based on the reaction stoichiometry:

3 moles of Ca(NO3)2 produces 1 mole of Ca3(PO4)2

Now,

Given mass of Ca(NO3)2 =  96.1 g

Molar mass of Ca(NO3)2 =  164 g/mol

# moles of ca(NO3)2 = 96.1/164 = 0.5859 moles

Therefore, # moles of Ca3(PO4)2 produced = 0.0589 * 1/3 = 0.0196 moles

Molar mass of Ca3(PO4)2 = 310 g/mol

Mass of Ca3(PO4)2 produced = 0.0196 * 310 = 6.076 g

Ans: Theoretical yield of Ca3(PO4)2 = 6.08 g
