Gamma radiation because it can pass through several centimeters of lead also
Fofino [41]3 years ago

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.

Acidic and basic are two extremes that describe chemicals, just like hot and cold are two extremes that describe temperature. Mixing acids and bases can cancel out their extreme effects, much like mixing hot and cold water can even out the water temperature. A substance that is neither acidic nor basic is neutral. 
The character of acidic, basic and neutral is defined by the concentration of hydrogen ions [H+](mol/L). A solution with a concentration of hydrogen ions higher than 10-7mol/L is acidic, and a solution with a lower concentration is alkaline (another way to say basic). Using the formula, pH=-log[H+], a pH of 7 is neutral, a pH less than 7 is acidic, and a pH greater than 7 is basic. As one can see from this formula, ten times a given concentration of hydrogen ions means one unit lower in terms of pH value (higher acidity), and vice versa. 
The formula for ph is given by:pH=−log10[H+]

What is the concentration of H+ ions at a pH = 8?

In calculating for the concentration of hydrogen ion, the formula is given by:[H+]=(10)^(-pH)
Solution:
[H+]=(10)^(-8)[H+]=0.00000001 mol/L

What is the concentration of OH– ions at a pH = 8?pH+pOH=148+pOH=14pOH=6
[OH-]=(10)^(-pOH)[OH-]=(10)^(-6)[OH-]=0.000001
What is the ratio of H+ ions to OH– ions at a pH = 2?The ratio is 0.00000001:0.000001 which is equal to 0.01

Dovator [93]

Answer:

5 × 10^-4 L

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

2KClO3 = 2KCl + 3O2

Number of moles of KClO3 = 13.5g/122.5 g / mol = 0.11 moles

From the stoichiometry of the reaction;

2 moles of KClO3 yields 3 moles of O2

0.11 moles of KClO3 yields 0.11 × 3/2 = 0.165 moles of oxygen gas

From the ideal gas equation;

PV= nRT

P= 85.4 × 10^4 KPa

V=?

n= 0.165

R= 8.314 J K-1 mol-1

T= 40+273 = 313K

V= 0.165 ×8.134 × 313/85.4 × 10^4

V=429.4/85.4 × 10^4

V= 5 × 10^-4 L

A sample of sugar (C12H22O11) contains
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer: 0.25 mol

Explanation:

Use the formula n=N/NA

n= number of mols

N =  number of particles

Nᵃ = Avogadros constant = 6.02 x

So, n=

The 10 to the power of 23 cancels out and you are left with 1.505/6.02, which is approximately 1/4. This is the same as 0.25 mol.

Hope this helped :)

Calculate the standard potential for the following galvanic cell: Ni(s) | Ni2+(aq) || Ag+(aq) | Ag(s) which has the overall bala
mylen [45]

Answer:

1.06  V  

Explanation:

The standard reduction potentials are:

Ag^+/Ag     E° =  0.7996 V  

Ni^2+/Ni     E° = -0.257   V

The half-cell and cell reactions for Ni | Ni^2+ || Ag^+ | Ag are

Ni → Ni^2+ + 2e-                     E° = 0.257   V

<u>2Ag^+ 2e- → 2Ag               </u>    <u>E° = 0.7996 V </u>

Ni + 2Ag^+ → Ni^2+ + 2Ag     E° = 1.0566  V

To three significant figures, the standard potential for the cell is 1.06 V .
