Answer:

D

Explanation:

Gamma radiation penetrates the cell wall of prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria and can inhibit their metabolic functions as well as destroy their DNA.

Debunking the other answers:

A is incorrect as Gamma radiation is used in the treatment of cancer via radiotherapy.

B is incorrect as Gamma rays are too small and would just penetrate any smoke particles.

C is incorrect because Gamma rays are used to disinfect food products to prevent food borne illness. Irradiation is safe to use on food and does not make it radioactive.

Thus, D is correct.

A cube of an unknown metal measures 0.250 cm on one side. The mass of the cube is 0.134 g. Which of the following is most likely
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

8.58 g/cm3

Explanation:

density = mass / volume

be attention that the question gives u the length of

one side of the cube so u should calculate the volume

of the cube using your information of math .

1st we calculate the volume of the cube :

 V of cube = a 3= axaxa

                 = 0.250 x0.250 x0.250

                 = 0.0156 cm3

 2nd step

density = mass/volume

             =  0.134/ 0.0156 = 8.58 g/cm3

F a sample of butene (C4H8) that has a mass of 136.6 g is combusted in excess oxygen, what is the mass of CO2 that is produced?
alukav5142 [94]

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

C4H8 + 6 O2 --> 4 CO2 + 4 H2O

We are given the amount of butene being combusted. This will be our starting point.

136.6 g C4H8 (1 mol  C4H8/ 56.11 g C4H8) (4 mol CO2/1 mol <span>C4H8</span>) ( 44.01 g CO2/ 1 mol CO2) = 428.6 g CO2

The pH of a solution is measured as 4.5. What is the hydrogen ion concentration of the solution?
Bond [772]

Answer:

[H⁺] =  3.16 × 10⁻⁵ mol/L

Explanation:

Given data:

pH of solution = 4.5

Hydrogen ion concentration = ?

Solution;

pH = -log [H⁺]

we will rearrange this formula:

[H⁺] =  10∧-pH

[H⁺] = 10⁻⁴°⁵

[H⁺] =  3.16 × 10⁻⁵ mol/L
