Answer:

Gamma Rays

Explanation:

Gamma rays are the highest penetrating power. It is  emitted from the nucleus of a radioactive atom during radioactive decaying. They are capable of travelling many yards in air. Gamma rays can easily penetrate a human body. Shielding this very high penetrating type of ionizing radiation requires a thick dense material such as several inches of concrete or lead.

Thus, gamma rays is the most penetrating and can pass through several layers of concrete shielding.

What is the molarity of aqueous lithium bromide if 25.0 mL of LiBr reacts with 10.0 mL of 0.250 M Pb(NO 3) 2
bixtya [17]

The molarity of aqueous lithium bromide, LiBr solution is 0.2 M

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ in the solution.

  • Volume = 10 mL = 10 / 1000 = 0.01 L
  • Molarity of Pb(NO₃)₂ = 0.250 M
  • Mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ =?

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ = 0.25 × 0.01

Mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ = 0.0025 mole

Next, we shall determine the mole of LiBr required to react with 0.0025 mole of Pb(NO₃)₂

Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2LiBr —> PbBr₂ + 2LiNO₃

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ reacted with 2 mole of LiBr.

Therefore,

0.0025 mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ will react with = 2 × 0.0025 = 0.005 mole of LiBr

Finally, we shall determine the molarity of the LiBr solution

  • Mole = 0.005 mole
  • Volume = 25 mL = 25 / 1000 = 0.025 L
  • Molarity of LiBr =?

Molarity = mole / Volume

Molarity of LiBr = 0.005 / 0.025

Molarity of LiBr = 0.2 M

All oxygen atoms have eight protons, and most have eight neutrons as well. What is the mass number of an oxygen isotope that has
denis-greek [22]

Answer: The mass number of an oxygen isotope that has nine neutrons is 17 and isotope is called as Oxygen-17.

Explanation:

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons that are present in an atom.

For a neutral atom:

Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of proton

Atomic number= Number of protons = 8

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Given: Number of neutrons = 9

Thus mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons = 8 + 9 = 17.

Isotopes are elements which have same atomic number but different mass number.

Thus the mass number of an oxygen isotope that has nine neutrons is 17 and isotope is called as Oxygen-17.
