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?

What factors affect the dynamic state of equilibrium in a chemical reaction and how?
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Only changes in temperature will influence the equilibrium constant K_c. The system will shift in response to certain external shocks. At the new equilibrium Q will still be equal to K_c, but the final concentrations will be different.

The question is asking for sources of the shocks that will influence the value of Q. For most reversible reactions:

  • External changes in the relative concentration of the products and reactants.

For some reversible reactions that involve gases:

  • Changes in pressure due to volume changes.

Catalysts do not influence the value of Q. See explanation.

Explanation:

\displaystyle K_c = {e}^{\Delta G/(R\cdot T)}.

Similar to the rate constant, the equilibrium constant K_c depends only on:

  • \Delta G the standard Gibbs energy change of the reaction, and
  • T the absolute temperature (in degrees Kelvins.)

The reversible reaction is in a dynamic equilibrium when the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the backward reaction. Reactants are constantly converted to products; products are constantly converted back to reactants. However, at equilibrium Q = K_c the two processes balance each other. The concentration of each species will stay the same.

Factors that alter the rate of one reaction more than the other will disrupt the equilibrium. These factors shall change the rate of successful collisions and hence the reaction rate.

  • Changes in concentration influence the number of particles per unit space.
  • Changes in temperature influence both the rate of collision and the percentage of particles with sufficient energy of reaction.

For reactions that involve gases,

  • Changing the volume of the container will change the concentration of gases and change the reaction rate.

However, there are cases where the number of gases particles on the reactant side and the product side are equal. Rates of the forward and backward reaction will change by the same extent. In such cases, there will not be a change in the final concentrations. Similarly, catalysts change the two rates by the same extent and will not change the final concentrations. Adding noble gases will also change the pressure. However, concentrations stay the same and the equilibrium position will not change.

How much energy is required to melt 10. 0 g of ice at 0. 0°C, warm it to 100. 0°c and completely vaporize the sample?
natta225 [31]

The 7160 cal energy is required to melt 10. 0 g of ice at 0. 0°C, warm it to 100. 0°C and completely vaporize the sample.

Calculation,

Given data,

Mass of the ice = 10 g

Temperature of ice =  0. 0°C

  • The ice at 0. 0°C is to be converted into water at 0. 0°C

Heat required at this stage = mas of the ice ×latent heat of fusion of ice

Heat required at this stage = 10 g×80 = 800 cal  

  • The temperature of the water is to be increased from 0. 0°C to 100. 0°C

Heat required for this = mass of the ice×rise in temperature×specific heat of water

Heat required for this  = 10 g×100× 1 = 1000 cal

  • This water at  100. 0°C  is to be converted into vapor.

Heat required for this = Mass of water× latent heat

Heat required for this  = 10g ×536 =5360 cal

Total energy or heat required = sum of all heat = 800 +1000+ 5360  = 7160 cal

Which correctly describes the reaction between potassium and excess water?
nika2105 [10]
Balanced chemical reaction: 2K(s) + 2H₂O(l) → 2KOH(aq) + H₂(g).

KOH is inorganic compound p<span>otassium hydroxide, a strong base.
H</span>₂ is hydrogen gas.
In balanced chemical reaction number of atoms on both side of chemical reaction must be same. There are two potassium atoms, four hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms on both side of reaction.
