The mass of atoms of carbon and 3 molecules of hydrogen : 18 g/mol

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

An atomic mass unit ( amu or "u") is a relative atomic mass of 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12.

The molar mass(molecular mass-formula mass-molecular weight(MW)) of a compound is the sum of the relative atomic mass (Ar) of the constituent elements of the compound

Can be formulated :

M AxBy = (x.Ar A + y. Ar B)

The mass of atom of Carbon(C)⇒Ar = 12 g/mol

The mass of 1 molecule of Hydrogen - H₂(MW) : 2 g/mol

The mass of 3 molecules of Hydrogen : 3 x 2 = 6 g/mol

So the mass of atoms of carbon and 3 molecules of hydrogen :

$\tt 12+6=18~g/mol$

3. Given 20g of Barium Hydroxide, how many grams of

anastassius [24]

The number of grams of ammonium nitrate (NH₄NO₃) it would take for all the barium hydroxide to react is 18.7g

First, we will write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

Ba(OH)₂ + 2NH₄NO₃ → 2NH₄OH + Ba(NO₃)₂

This means, 1 mole of barium hydroxide is required to react with 2 moles of ammonium nitrate

Now, we will calculate the number of moles of barium hydroxide present.

Mass of barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)₂) = 20 g

Using the formula

$Number\ of\ moles = \frac{Mass}{Molar\ mass}$

Molar mass of Ba(OH)₂ = 171.34 g/mol

∴ Number of moles of Ba(OH)₂ present = $\frac{20}{171.34}$

Number of moles of Ba(OH)₂ present = 0.116727 mole

Now,

Since 1 mole of barium hydroxide is required to react with 2 moles of ammonium nitrate

Then,

0.116727 mole of barium hydroxide will react with 2 × 0.116727 mole of ammonium nitrate

2 × 0.116727 = 0.233454 mole

∴ Number of moles of NH₄NO₃ required is 0.233454 mole

Now, for the mass of ammonium nitrate (NH₄NO₃) required

From the formula

Mass = Number of moles × Molar mass

Molar mass of NH₄NO₃ = 80.043 g/mol

∴ Mass of NH₄NO₃ required = 0.233454 × 80.043

Mass of NH₄NO₃ required = 18.68636 g

Mass of NH₄NO₃ required ≅ 18.7g

Hence, the number of grams of ammonium nitrate (NH₄NO₃) it would take for all the barium hydroxide to react is 18.7g

Answer:

Here's what I find.

Explanation:

Iodine-131

Iodine-131 is both a beta emitter and a gamma emitter.

$_{53}^{131}\text{I}\longrightarrow \, _{54}^{131}\text{Xe} +\, _{-1}^{0}\text{e} +\, _{0}^{0}\gamma$

About 90 % of the energy is β-radiation and 10 % is γ-radiation. Both forms are highly energetic.

The main danger is from ingestion. The iodine concentrates in thyroid gland, where the β-radiation destroys cells up to 2 mm from the tissues that absorbed it.

Both the β- and γ-radiation cause cell mutations that can later become cancerous. Small doses, such as those absorbed from the nuclear disasters in the Ukraine and Japan, can cause cancers years after the original iodine has disappeared.

Plutonium-239

Plutonium-239 is an alpha emitter.

$_{94}^{239}\text{U} \longrightarrow \, _{92}^{235}\text{Xe} + \, _{2}^{4}\text{He}$

Alpha particles cannot penetrate the skin, so external exposure isn't much of a health risk.

However, they are extremely dangerous when they are inhaled and get inside cells. They travel first to the blood or lymph system and later to the bone marrow and liver, where they cause up to 1000 times more chromosomal damage than beta or gamma rays.

It takes about 20 years for plutonium to be eliminated from the liver around 50 years for from the skeleton, so it has a long time to cause damage.
