The Geiger counter measure radiation through the means of detecting alpha particles, beta particles and gamma rays. It uses an ionization effect produced by the Geiger-Muller tube as well. This is the most prominent tool used for radiation measurement.

The mass to change ratio of the proton is found to be 1.044×10¯⁸KG/C.the change on the proton is 1.602×10¯¹⁹C.calculate the mass
Alla [95]

Answer:

1.54 x 10⁻¹¹kg

Explanation:

The charge to mass ratio is given as:

               1.044 x 10⁻⁸kg/C

 Charge on the proton  = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹C

 So;

    \frac{e}{m}   is the charge to mass ration

e is the charge

m is the mass

     

  1.044 x 10⁻⁸kg/C  = \frac{1.602 x 10^{-19} }{m}    

    m = \frac{1.602 x 10^{-19} }{1.044 x 10^{-8} }   = 1.54 x 10⁻¹¹kg

Be sure to answer all parts. There are three different dichloroethylenes (molecular formula C2H2Cl2), which we can designate X,
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Explanation:Since the compound X has no net-dipole moment so we can ascertain that this compound is not associated with any polarity.

hence the compound must be overall non-polar. The net dipole moment of compound is zero means that the vector sum of individual dipoles are zero and hence the two individual bond dipoles associated with C-Cl bond  must be oriented in  the opposite directions with respect to each other.]

So we can propose that compound X must be trans alkene as only in trans compounds the individual bond dipoles cancel each other.

If one isomer of the alkene is trans then the other two isomers may be cis .

Since the two alkenes give the same molecular formula on hydrogenation which means they are quite similar and only slightly different.

The two possibility of cis structures are possible:

in the first way it is possible the one carbon has two chlorine substituents and the carbon has two hydrogens.

Or the other way could be that two  chlorine atoms are present on the two carbon atoms in cis manner that is on the same side and two hydrogens are also present on the different carbon atoms in the same manner.

Kindly refer the attachments for the structure of compounds:

Based on the chemical formula and state of matter, which of these substances will conduct electricity?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

CuSO4(aq)

Explanation:

The aqueous form of copper sulfate will conduct electricity.

The Solid form will not be a good conductor.

C₅H₁₂ will not conduct electricity

CO₂ will not conduct electricity

  • Copper sulfate is an ionic compound
  • In aqueous solutions or molten forms, ionic compounds can conduct an electric current using free mobile ions as carriers.
  • This way, they are electrolytes.
  • In solid state, the ions are arranged into a crystal lattice and will not conduct a current of electricity.
