d. Each type of radiation can be detected by a device called a Geiger counter

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Radiation is energy. It can come from unstable atoms that undergo radioactive decay, or it can be produced by machines. Radiation travels from its source in the form of energy waves or energized particles. There are different forms of radiation and they have different properties and effects.

Non-Ionizing and Ionizing Radiation

There are two kinds of radiation: non-ionizing radiation and ionizing radiation.

Non-ionizing radiation has enough energy to move atoms in a molecule around or cause them to vibrate, but not enough to remove electrons from atoms. Examples of this kind of radiation are radio waves, visible light and microwaves.

Ionizing radiation has so much energy it can knock electrons out of atoms, a process known as ionization. Ionizing radiation can affect the atoms in living things, so it poses a health risk by damaging tissue and DNA in genes. Ionizing radiation comes from x-ray machines, cosmic particles from outer space and radioactive elements. Radioactive elements emit ionizing radiation as their atoms undergo radioactive decay.

When 38.1 grams of a certain metal at a temperature of 90.0°C is added to 100.0mL of water at a temperature of 17.6°C in a perfectly insulated calorimeter, the final temperature of the resulting mixture is 19.1°C. a. Find the value of q for the metal b. Find the value of q for the water c. What is the specific heat of the metal?

Answers

Answer:

a. qm = 627.3 J

b. qw = 627.3 J

c. C₂ = 227.4 J/kg.°C

Explanation:

a.

Since, the calorimeter is completely insulated. Therefore,

Heat Lost by Metal = Heat Gained by water

qm = qw

qm = m₁C₁ΔT₁

where,

qm = heat lost by metal = ?

m₁ = mass of water = (density)(volume) = (1000 kg/m³)(100 mL)(10⁻⁶ m³/1 mL)

m₁ = 0.1 kg

C₁ = specific heat capacity of water = 4182 J/kg.°C

ΔT₁ = Change in Temperature of Water = 19.1°C - 17.6°C = 1.5°C

Therefore,

qm = (0.1 kg)(4182 J/kg.°C)(1.5°C)

qm = 627.3 J

b.

Since,

qm = qw

qw = 627.3 J

c.

qm = m₂C₂ΔT₂

where,

m₂ = mass of metal = 38.1 g = 0.0381 kg

C₂ = specific heat capacity of metal = ?

ΔT₂ = Change in Temperature of metal = 90°C - 17.6°C = 72.4°C

Therefore,

627.3 J = (0.0381 kg)(C₂)(72.4°C)

(627.3 J)/(0.0381 kg)(72.4°C) = C₂

C₂ = 227.4 J/kg.°C

Chlorine has a total of 17 electrons and 7 Valence electrons. Why are these two numbers
different?

Answers

because the valence electrons are the electrons only in the outside ring

Chlorine contains a total of 17 electrons which are filled in different orbitals of which 7 electrons are located in the outermost energy level or orbital.

What are valence electron?

In an atom, the electrons are surrounding the nucleus through fixed paths or energy levels called orbitals.  Electrons are filled in the increasing order of energy level. Thus lower energy levels are filled first.

The last electrons are filled in the outermost energy levels and are called valence electrons.  Each shell have a definite capacity for electrons.

Cl is 17the element in periodic table and has 17 electrons of which 7 electrons are located in the outermost shell. Hence, option A is correct.

Please answer quick. In an experiment, a student collects 107 mL of H2 over water at a pressure of 104.8 kPa and a temperature of 30°C. How many grams of H2 are present?
A.
0.024 g
B.
4.00 g
C.
0.04 g
D.
0 049 g
And explain

Answers

Answer:

Mass = 0.008 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of H₂ = 107 mL

Pressure = 104.8 KPa

Temperature = 30°C

Mass of H₂ present = ?

Solution:

Formula:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

Now we will convert the units of temperature, pressure and volume.

Temperature  = 30+273 = 303 K

Volume of H₂ = 107 mL (107/1000= 0.107 L)

Pressure = 104.8 KPa (104.8/101 = 1.04 atm)

by putting values,

1.04 atm ×0.107 L = n× 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  × 303 K

0.11 atm.L  = n×24.87 atm.L/ mol

n =  0.11 atm.L / 24.87 atm.L/ mol

n = 0.004

Mass of H₂:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass =   0.004    mol × 2 g/mol

Mass = 0.008 g

Answers

Answer:

Sand and water

Oil and sand

Explanation:

A mixture, has rightly stated in this question, is a substance composed of two or more substances combined physically rather than chemically. In a mixture, each constituent retains its chemical properties i.e. the chemical properties of none of the substances in a mixture is altered. This serves as the basis for the physical separation of a mixture.

One example of mixture has been given in this question i.e salt and sugar combined together in a bowl. This represent a mixture because the sugar is not chemically combined to the salt, hence, each can easily be separated. This is the same for any other mixtire. More examples include:

Sand and water

Oil and sand

Salt and water (salt solution)

Petroleum or crude oil

Write an explanation on how filtration works, using the words: soluble and unsoluble.

Answers

Answer:

If a substance does not dissolve in a solvent, we say that it is insoluble. For example, sand does not dissolve in water – it is insoluble.

Filtration is a method for separating an insoluble solid from a liquid. When a mixture of sand and water is filtered:

the sand stays behind in the filter paper (it becomes the residue)

the water passes through the filter paper (it becomes the filtrate)

The slideshow shows how filtration works

Explanation:

1st

A beaker containing a mixture of insoluble solid and liquid. There is filter paper in a filter funnel above another beaker.

2nd

The mixture of insoluble solid and liquid is poured into the filter funnel.

3rd

The liquid particles are small enough to pass through the filter paper as a filtrate. The solid particles are too large to pass through the filter paper and stay behind as a residue.

Answer:

Filtration is the action or process of filtering something. Filtration is the method used for separating an insoluble solid from a liquid. Ex - oil and water

What mass of citric acid (molar mass = 192.14g/mol) would be needed to make 0.10 L of 5.00 M citric acid solution ?

Answers

Answer:

Mass = 96.07 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of citric acid = ?

Molar mass of citric acid = 192.14 g/mol

Volume of citric acid solution = 0.10 L

Molarity of solution = 5.00 M

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the number of moles from molarity formula. Then we will determine the mass from moles formula.

Molarity is used to describe the concentration of solution. It tells how many moles are dissolve in per litter of solution.

Formula:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / L of solution

5.00 M = n/0.10 L

n = 5.00 mol/L× 0.10 L

n =0.5 mol

Mass of citric acid:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

0.5 mol = mass/ 192.14 g/mol

Mass = 0.5 mol  × 192.14 g/mol

Mass = 96.07 g

A. The gas atoms gain an electron.

B. The gas atoms lose an electron.

C. The metal atoms gain an electron.

D. The two elements share a pair of electrons

Atom X gains an electron because it needs electron to become stable.

Atom Y loses electron and atom X gains an electron in order to complete its outermost shell. Atom Y belongs to metal which has one electron while on the other hand, atom Y belongs to halogens which needs one electron for the completion of its outermost shell and become stable so atom Y loses one electron and atom X gains that electron and attain the electronic configuration of noble gases so we can say that Atom X gains an electron.

When Jeremy returned home after vacation, he noticed that his new plant had not grown. His mother, a florist, told him that it was because the plant was not getting enough sunlight. He moved his plant closer to the window to get more sunlight. How can Jeremy best support the idea that his plant needs more sunlight? Ask his mother to make the plant better. Wait and see what happens to the plant. Remove the plant from direct sunlight after a week. Ask his science teacher at school what she thinks could be the reason.

Wait and see what happens to the plant.

Explanation:

The best course of action for Jeremy would be to wait and see what happens to the plant after moving it closer to the window to get more sunglight.

If the plant grows after observing it for some times, he can conclude that light has been a major hindrance to the growth and more sunlight would benefit the plant. If the observation is otherwise, then Jeremy can conclude that the lack of growth observed is not due to light.

Answers

Answer:

The gain of an electron.

Explanation:

Ions are made when an atom does no longer have an equal number of protons and electrons.

This would theoretically mean that in order for an atom to become an ion, it would have to either gain or lose an electron or a proton.

However, protons are located in the nucleus, so the energy required to add or remove a proton is immensely higher than the energy required to add or remove an electron.
