Gamma rays consist of pure energy. Beta particles consist of one electron that is released at high speeds from an unstable nucleus and an alpha particle is a helium nucleus.
We know that Gamma rays consist of pure energy because, during Gamma decay, the atomic and mass numbers remain unchanged. Therefore, only energy is emitted.
Gamma rays are weakly ionising, however, they are strongly penetrating and thick concrete or a few centimetres of aluminium is needed to stop them.

Low pH means the solution is acidic; if the solution is acidic, that
means that there are hydronium ions in solution (H3O+). For example,
hydrochloric acid dissolves into H+ ions and Cl- ions, and the H+ ions
rreact with water like this:
H+ + H2O --> H3O+
If you want to get mathematical, pH is defined as the negative log of the concentration of hydronium ions.
Thus, if there are a lot of hydronium ions, the solution will have a low, or acidic, pH. Hope this helps^-^</span>
Answer:
The pH of the buffer solution = 8.05
Explanation:
Using the Henderson - Hasselbalch equation;
pH = pKa₂ + log ( [HPO₄²-]/[H₂PO4⁻]
where pKa₂ = -log (Ka₂) = -log ( 6.1 * 10⁻⁸) = 7.21
Concentration of OH⁻ added = 0.069 M (i.e. 0.069 mol/L)
[H₂PO4⁻] after addition of OH⁻ = 0.165 - 0.069 = 0.096 M
[HPO₄²-] after addition of OH⁻ = 0.594 + 0.069 = 0.663 M
Therefore,
pH = 7.21 + log (0.663 / 0.096)
pH = 7.21 + 0.84
pH = 8.05
Chemical weathering is the weakening and subsequent disintegration of rock by chemical reactions.
Yes, there are vegetarian italian sausages. One example is the Satanic sausage, which is prepared from dough, beans, spices, tomato, yeast, etc. But, yes, majority or I would say almost all of the Italian sausages are non-vegetarian sausages itselves.
