Answer:

A) alpha particle, beta particle, gamma ray

Explanation:

Alpha beta and gamma radiations are the examples of ionizing radiations. When an atom is an excited state and having high energy, the atom is in unstable state. The excess of energy is released by the atom to get the stability. The released energy is in the form of radiations which may include alpha, beta, gamma, X-ray etc.

Properties of alpha radiation:

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

₉₂U²³⁸ → ₉₀Th²³⁴ + ₂He⁴ + energy

Beta radiations:

The mass of beta particle is smaller than the alpha particles.

They can travel in air in few meter distance.

These radiations can penetrate into the human skin.

The sheet of aluminum is used to block the beta radiation

⁴₆C → ¹⁴₇N + ⁰₋₁e

The beta radiations are emitted in this reaction. The one electron is ejected and neutron is converted into proton.

Gamma radiations:

Gamma radiations are high energy radiations having no mass.

These radiations are travel at the speed of light.

Gamma radiations can penetrate into the many materials.

These radiations are also used to treat the cancer.

Lead is used for the protection against gamma radiations because of its high molecular density.

The lead apron are used by the person when treated with gamma radiations.

Lead shields are also used in the wall, windows and doors of the room where gamma radiations are treated, in-order to protect the surroundings.

A student made the Lewis dot diagram of a compound as shown. Mg is written with two dots shown on its top. Cl is written on the

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The dots were not properly located and arrows are not used in Lewis structures

Explanation:

If we intend to write a Lewis structure for a compound, that lewis structure must consist of only dots. These dots actually show the valence electrons on the outermost shell of the molecule.

We do not involve arrows when writing dot electron structures for compounds. The valence electrons of magnesium ought not to be written together because they are not a lone pair, rather they are two unpaired electrons. The use of an arrow suggests a coordinate covalent bond which is not the case here.

The correct lewis structure for MgCl2 is shown in the image attached to this answer.

A solution is prepared by dissolving 20.1 g of MgCl2 with the addition of 157.0 mL of water (density of water is 1.00g/cm3). The

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

1.3 M.

Explanation:

We need to calculate the mass of the solution:

mass of the solution = mass of MgCl₂ + mass of water

mass of MgCl₂ = 20.1 g.

mass of water = d.V = (157.0 mL)(1.0 g/cm³) = 157.0 g.

∴ mass of the solution = mass of MgCl₂ + mass of water = 20.1 g + 157.0 g = 177.1 g.

Now, we can get the volume of the solution:

V of the solution = (mass of the solution)/(density of the solution) = (177.1 g)/(1.089 g/cm³) = 162.62 mL = 0.163 L.

Molarity is the no. of moles of solute dissolved in a 1.0 L of the solution.

M = (no. of moles of MgCl₂) / (Volume of the solution (L)).

<em>∴ M = (mass/molar mass)of MgCl₂ / (Volume of the solution (L)) =</em> (20.1 g/95.211 g/mol) / (0.163 L) = <em>1.29 M ≅ 1.3 M.</em>

A container with a volume 2. 0 L is filled with a gas at a pressure of 1. 5 atm. By decreasing the volume of the container to 1.

worty [1.4K]

The resulting pressure of the gas after decreasing the initial volume from 2 L to 1 L is 3 atm.

<h3>What is Boyle's Law?</h3>

According to the Boyle's Law at constant temperature, pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of that gas.

For the given question we use the below equation is:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂, where

P₁ = initial pressure of gas = 1.5 atm

V₁ = initial volume of gas = 2 L

P₂ = final pressure of gas = ?

V₂ = final volume of gas = 1 L

On putting all these values on the above equation, we get

P₂ = (1.5atm)(2L) / (1L) = 3 atm

Hence required pressure of the gas is 3 atm.
