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.

Ammonia (NH3) can be produced by the reaction of hydrogen gas with nitrogen gas:
klio [65]

Answer:

10%

Explanation:

Given data:

Actual yield = 0.13 moles

Percent yield = ?

Solution:

Balanced chemical equation.

3H₂ + N₂    →   2NH₃

First of all we will calculate the mass of given moles of ammonia.

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Mass = 0.13 × 17 g/mol

Mass = 2.21 g

2.21 g is experimental yield of ammonia.

Hydrogen is limiting reactant because only two moles of hydrogen present.

we will compare the moles of hydrogen and ammonia from balance chemical equation.                

                               H₂     :    NH₃

                                3       :     2

                                2       :     2/3×2 = 1.33 moles

Mass of ammonia

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.33 mol × 17 g/mol

Mass = 22.61 g

Percent yield:

Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield × 100

Percent yield = 2.21 g / 22.61 g

Percent yield =9.8%  which is almost 10%
