The penetrating power of alpha rays, beta rays, and gamma rays varies greatly. Alpha particles can be blocked by a few pieces of paper. Beta particles pass through paper but are stopped by aluminum foil. Gamma rays are the most difficult to stop and require concrete, lead, or other heavy shielding to block them.
Answer:
Catalyst speeds up the chemical reactions. Catalyst is the compound that adds to the chemical reaction so that it happen more quickly. Catalyst without being consumed in the reaction accelerates the reaction. It lowers down the activation energy of the transition state and thus accelerates the reaction.

Answer:
c. CH4 < NH3 because the NH bond is more polar than the CH bond.
Explanation:
Actually, the electronegativity difference between carbon and hydrogen is just about 0.4. This meager difference in electronegativity corresponds to a nonpolar bond between the two atoms.
However, the electronegativity difference between nitrogen and hydrogen is about 0.9. This larger electronegativity difference corresponds to the existence of a polar covalent bond between the two atoms.
Hence the N-H bond is significantly polar unlike the C-H bond. This implies that CH4 molecules are only held together by weak dispersion forces while NH3 molecules are held together by stronger dipole-dipole interactions and hydrogen bonds.
Answer:
131.5 kJ
Explanation:
Let's consider the following reaction.
CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)
First, we will calculate the standard enthalpy of the reaction (ΔH°).
ΔH° = 1 mol × ΔH°f(CaO(s)) + 1 mol × ΔH°f(CO₂(g)
) - 1 mol × ΔH°f(CaCO₃(s)
)
ΔH° = 1 mol × (-634.9 kJ/mol) + 1 mol × (-393.5 kJ/mol) - 1 mol × (-1207.6 kJ/mol)
ΔH° = 179.2 kJ
Then, we calculate the standard entropy of the reaction (ΔS°).
ΔS° = 1 mol × S°(CaO(s)) + 1 mol × S°(CO₂(g)
) - 1 mol × S°(CaCO₃(s)
)
ΔS° = 1 mol × (38.1 J/mol.K) + 1 mol × (213.8 J/mol.K) - 1 mol × (91.7 J/mol.K)
ΔS° = 160.2 J/K = 0.1602 kJ/K
Finally, we calculate the standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction at T = 25°C = 298 K.
ΔG° = ΔH° - T × ΔS°
ΔG° = 179.2 kJ - 298 K × 0.1602 kJ/K
ΔG° = 131.5 kJ
To calculate the new pressure, we can use Boyle’s law to relate these two scenarios (Boyle’s law is used because the temperature is assumed to remain constant). Boyle’s law is:
P1V1 = P2V2,
Where “P” is pressure and “V” is volume. The pressure and volume of the first scenario is 215 torr and 51 mL, respectively, and the second scenario has a volume of 18.5 L (18,500 mL) and the unknown pressure - let’s call that “x”. Plugging these into the equation:
(215 torr)(51 mL) =(“x” torr)(18,500 mL)
x = 0.593 torr
The final pressure exerted by the gas would be 0.593 torr.
Hope this helps!
