Answer:
The answer is D. gamma rays
Explanation:
A radioactive atom can have three different types of emission:
alpha particles (α) = they have a mass of 4 amu and they have a very low penetrating power.
Beta particles (β) = they have 5x amu and they have an intermediate penetrating power
Gamma rays (γ) = they are not particles basically just energy so its mass is ≈ 0 and its penetrating power is higher
For this reason Gamma emissions (γ) has the smallest mass value.
Answer:- Heat lost by the metal is 279.45 cal.
Solution:- This type of problems are solved by using the concept, heat given = - heat taken
Metal temperature is decreasing from 45.00 degree C to 11.08 degree C. It means the heat is lost by the metal and this heat lost by metal is gained by water and the calorimeter to raise their temperature.
the equation we use is, .
where, q is the heat energy, m is mass, c is specific heat and is change in temperature.
Combined mass of calorimeter and water is 250.0 g and the specific heat is .
for calorimeter and water (combined) = 11.08 - 10.00 = 1.08 degree C
for metal = 11.08 - 45.00 = -33.92 degree C
let's plug in the values in the above equation and calculate heat gained by combined system.
q=250.0g*\frac{1.035cal}{g.^0C}*1.08^0C
q = 279.45 cal
So, the heat lost by the metal is 279.45 cal.
