Chapter 19, Problem 65QAP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The relative penetrating powers of the alpha, beta and gamma particles should be described.

Concept Introduction:

The radiation is the radioactive source of energy having high frequency which can damage the human cell and is harmful for human beings. When a nuclei of an atom undergoes the radioactive decay, the particles like alpha, beta, and gamma are formed as by products.

The radioactive decay of alpha particles results in decrease in the mass number by 4 and atomic number by 2 and decay of beta particles results in increase in the atomic number by 1 and no change in atomic mass number. Gamma decay is only release of energy and the number of proton remains the same.

a. The structure of the bicarbonate (hydrogen carbonate) ion, HCO3-, HCO3 " is best described as a hybrid of several contributing resonance forms, two of which are shown here. HO :0: HO + :Ö: Bicarbonate is crucial for the control of body pH (for example, blood pH 7.4). A more self-indulgent use is in baking soda, where it serves as a source of CO2 CO2 gas, which gives bread and pastry their fluffy constituency. (i) Draw at least one additional resonance form. = (ii) Using curved "electron-pushing" arrows, show how these Lewis structures may be interconverted by movement of electron pairs. (iii) Determine which form or forms will be the major contributor(s) to the real structure of bicarbonate, explaining your answer on the basis of the criteria in Section 1-5.
Calibri 11 + BIL NAME: Jaylena M A student is investigating the ctect of volume on pressure during a lab activity. The student uses the following volumes (mL). 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 28, 30, 33, 34, 35, 38, 40, 42, 44. 46, and 50. As the volume changed they measured the following pressures (atm) 11.0, 10.5, 10.0, 9.2. 8.5, 78, 75, 7.0, 6.8, 6.5, 6.0, 5.9, 5.5, 5.0, 4.8, 4.5, 4.2, 3.9, 3.8, 3.5, 3.3, 3.2, 3.0, 2.9.
