Answer:

beta particle

Explanation:

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

How many miles of lead are equal to 9.51 x 10^3 g Pb?
Lemur [1.5K]
Molar mass Pb = 207.2 g/mol

1 mole Pb ------------- 207.2
? mole Pb ------------ 9.51 x 10³

moles = 9.51 x 10³ * 1 / 207.2

moles = 9.51 x 10³ / 207.2

= 45.89 moles

hope this helps!

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

1.01atm is the pressure of the gas

Explanation:

The difference in heights in the two sides is because of the difference in  pressure of the enclosed gas and the atmospheric pressure. This difference is in mm of the nonvolatile liquid. The difference in mm Hg is:

32.3mm * (0.993g/mL / 13.6g/mL) = 2.36mmHg

As atmospheric pressure is 765mm Hg and assuming the gas has more pressure than the atmospheric pressure (There is no illustration), the pressure of the gas is:

765mm Hg + 2.36mm Hg = 767.36 mmHg

In atm:

767.36 mmHg * (1atm / 760 mmHg) =

1.01atm is the pressure of the gas

What is true of a reaction that has reached equilibrium?
BabaBlast [244]

The correct option is A.

A chemical reaction is said to have reached an equilibrium stage if the rate of reaction of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of reaction of the reverse reaction. Two way arrows are usually used to depict equilibrium reactions. These arrows indicate that the chemical reaction can move both ways. At the equilibrium point the concentrations of both the reactants and the products are equal.
