Answer:

Beta particles and neutrons

Explanation:

Lead is not particular good for shielding beta particles and neutrons. Lead shielding is used for shielding x-rays and gamma-rays due to its high density and atomic mass.

Materials made with lead are used by people dealing with all kinds of radioactive particles to prevent radioactive poisonings.

But lead cannot effectively protect against beta particles and neutrons.

Mila [183]

From the calculations, the concentration of the acid is 0.24 M.

<h3>What is neutralization?</h3>

The term neutralization has to do with a reaction in which an acid and a base react to form salt and water only.

We have to use the formula;

CAVA/CBVB = NA/NB

CAVANB =CBVBNA

The equation of the reaction is; 2NaOH + H2SO4 ----> Na2SO4 + 2H2O

CA = ?

CB = 1.2 M

VA =  50 mL

VB = 20 mL

NA = 1

NB = 2

CA = CBVBNA/VANB

CA = 1.2 M * 20 mL * 1/ 50 mL * 2

CA = 0.24 M
