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.

Which of the following acids is the weakest? The acid is followed by its ka value. A) HC2H302, 1.8 * 10-5 B) HIO, 23 x 10-11 OC)

NemiM [27]

Answer:

the weakest acid is B) HIO

Explanation:

pKa = - log Ka

the higher the value of pKa, the lower the dissociation, therefore, an acid will be stronger the lower its pKa.

a) HC2H3O2; Ka = 1.8 E-5

⇒ pKa1 = - Log (1.8 E-5) = 4.745

b) HIO; Ka = 23 E-11

⇒ pKa2 = - Log ( 23 E-11 ) = 9.638

c) HBrO; Ka = 23 E-9

⇒ pKa3 = - Log ( 23 E-9 ) = 7.638

d) HClO; Ka = 2.9 E-8

⇒ pKa4 = - Log ( 2.9 E-8 ) = 7.537

e) HCO2H; Ka = 63 E-5

⇒ pKa5 = - Log ( 63 E-5 ) = 3.200

from the values pKa, we places the acids from the weakest to the least weak:

1) pKa2; HIO (weakest)

2) pKa3

3) pKa4

4) pKa1

5) pKa5

What is geography and importance of geography<br><br>

aliina [53]

Answer:

Meaning; Geography is a focus within the curriculum for understanding and resolving issues about the environment and sustainable development. It is also an important link between the natural and social sciences. As pupils study geography, they encounter different societies and cultures.

<em>Importance</em>; Geography is important because it contributes to our knowledge of the world and its phenomena. But, it also has an amazing practical side. For economists and managers, some types of engineering, farmers, architects, geopoliticians, generals and some knowledge of Geography is extremely important.

You start with 1 L of CO2 at standard temperature and pressure in a closed container. If you raise the temperature of the gas, t

pychu [463]

Answer:

Increase

Explanation:

According to Gay-Lussac Law,

The pressure of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant volume and number of moles.

Mathematical relationship:

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

If the initial temperature and pressure is standard,

Pressure = 1 atm

Temperature = 273.15 K

then we increase the temperature to 400.0 K, The pressure will be,

1 atm / 273.15 K = P₂/400.0K

P₂ = 1 atm × 400.0 K / 273.15 K

P₂ = 400.0 atm. K /273.15 K

P₂ = 1.46 atm

Pressure is also increase from 1 atm to 1.46 atm.

The forensic technician at a crime scene has just prepared a luminol stock solution by adding 18.0 g of luminol into a total vol

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

1.36M

Explanation:

Luminol is a compound having the molecular formula as C8H7N3O2.

To know the molarity of the stock solution of Luminol, we shall carry out the following:

Step 1:

we shall calculate the number of mole in 18g of luminol. This is shown below:

Molar mass of C8H7N3O2 = (12x8) + (7x1 ) + (14x3) + (16x2)

= 96 + 7 + 42 + 32

= 177g/mol

Mass of C8H7N3O2 = 18g

Number of mole of C8H7N3O2 =..?

Mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Number of mole of C8H7N3O2 = 18/177 = 0.102 mole.

Step 2:

Conversion of 75.0 mL of H2O to Litre (L).

1000mL = 1L

Therefore, 75mL = 75/1000 = 0.075L

Step 3:

Determination of the molarity of the stock solution of Luminol.

Molarity is simply defined as the mole of solute per unit litre of water. Mathematically, it is represented as:

Molarity = mole /Volume

With the above formula, we can obtain the molarity of the stock solution of Luminol as follow:

Mole of C8H7N3O2 = 0.102 mole

Volume of water = 0.075L

Molarity =..?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Molarity = 0.102/0.075

Molarity = 1.36M

Therefore, the molarity of the stock solution of Luminol is 1.36M.
