Answer:

a. A beta particle has a negative charge. d. A beta particle is a high-energy electron.

Explanation:

Identify the correct descriptions of beta particles.

a. A beta particle has a negative charge. YES. A beta particle is originated in the following nuclear reaction: ¹₀n ⇒ ¹₁H + ⁰₋₁e (beta particle.)

b. A beta particle contains neutrons. NO. It is a electron originated in the nucleus.

c. A beta particle is less massive than a gamma ray. NO. Gamma rays don't have mass while a beta particle has a mass which is half of one thousandth of the mass of a proton.

d. A beta particle is a high-energy electron. YES. Beta particles are nuclear originated hig-energy electrons.

If 42.8 mL of 0.204 M HCl solution is needed to neutralize a solution of Ca(OH)2, how many grams of Ca(OH)2 must be in the solut
Aneli [31]

Hey There!

At neutralisation moles of H⁺ from HCl  = moles of OH⁻ from Ca(OH)2  so :

0.204 * 42.8 / 1000  => 0.0087312 moles

Moles of Ca(OH)2 :

2 HCl + Ca(OH)2 = CaCl2 + 2 H2O

0.0087312 / 2 => 0.0043656 moles (  since each Ca(OH)2 ives 2 OH⁻ ions )

Therefore:

Molar mass Ca(OH)2 = 74.1 g/mol

mass = moles of Ca(OH)2 * molar mass

mass =  0.0043656 * 74.1

mass = 0.32 g of Ca(OH)2


Hope that helps!

The temperature of a boiling liquid can rise above its boiling point.<br> a. true<br> b. false
goldenfox [79]
The temperature of a liquid can exceed its boiling point. An example is water. Although at ordinary pressure of 1 atm, the boiling point is 100 degrees, water can still exist in higher temperatures but this time in another state. Superheated steam is the term used for water whose temperature has higher than the boiling point
