Many smoke detectors use americium-241 to detect very small particulates in the air. This is done by using a stream of radioactive particles that can be stopped by the small smoke particulate. Which type of radiation is MOST LIKELY used in a smoke detector, as
it can be stopped by something this small?

Butadiene undergoes a reaction at a certain temperature in the gas phase as follows: 2c4h6(g) --> c8h12(g) the following data were collected for this reaction: time (min) [c4h6] (m) 0 0.36 15 0.30 30 0.25 48 0.19 75 0. determine the order of the reaction and the rate constant. 1st order and k = 4.3x10 -4 s-1 1st order and k = 2.3x10-4 s-1 2nd order and k = 4.3x10-4 s-1 2nd order and k = 2.3x10-4 s-1 zero and k = 4.3x10-4 s-1
