Answer:

beta particle

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.

¹⁴₆C → ¹⁴₇N + ⁰₋₁e

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

Beta radiations:

Beta radiations are result from the beta decay in which electron is ejected. The neutron inside of the nucleus converted into the proton an thus emit the electron which is called β particle.

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 aluminium is used to block the beta radiations

Hydrogen iodide decomposes slowly to H2 and I2 at 600 K. The reaction is second order in HI, and the rate constant is 9.7×10−6M−

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer : The molarity after a reaction time of 5.00 days is, 0.109 M

Explanation :

The integrated rate law equation for second order reaction follows:

$k=\frac{1}{t}\left (\frac{1}{[A]}-\frac{1}{[A]_o}\right)$

where,

k = rate constant = $9.7\times 10^{-6}M^{-1}s^{-1}$

t = time taken = 5.00 days

[A] = concentration of substance after time 't' = ?

$[A]_o$ = Initial concentration = 0.110 M

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get:

$9.7\times 10^{-6}=\frac{1}{5.00}\left (\frac{1}{[A]}-\frac{1}{(0.110)}\right)$

$[A]=0.109M$

Hence, the molarity after a reaction time of 5.00 days is, 0.109 M

Does someone know the combustion in a jacket potato???

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Some varieties of potato, such as Russet and King Edward, are more suitable for baking than others, owing to their size and consistency. Despite the popular misconception that potatoes are fattening, baked potatoes can be part of a healthy diet.[2]

When 0.514 g of biphenyl (c12h10) undergoes comubustion in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature increases from 25.80 °c to 29.40

slava [35]

The change in internal energy of the combustion of biphenyl in Kj is calculated as follows

=heat capacity of bomb calorimeter x delta T where delta T is change in temperature
delta T = 29.4 -25.8= 3.6 c

= 5.86 kj/c x 3.6 c = 21.096 kj
