Which colorless and odorless gas, produced by radioactive decay of Uranium-238, is considered to be a cancer-causing agent?

Chemistry
1 answer:
DiKsa [7]3 years ago
7 0
B, radon is correct. Interestingly, it often collects in basements from radioactive decay of rocks such as granite that contain uranium. Because it is an unreactive noble gas and because it is denser than air it sits in basements and must be pumped out. It collects in human lungs and is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind smoking.

A homogeneous mixture or solution consists of _____.
Fed [463]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A mixture in which the components are evenly distributed or the components are present in same proportion throughout the mixture is known as a homogeneous mixture or solution.

As a result, there exists only one phase in the mixture. The components of mixture can be in solid, liquid or gaseous form.

For example, when sodium chloride (solid phase) is added in water (liquid phase) then it completely dissolve in it. Thus, there will be no boundary between the solute and solvent. Hence, it forms a homogeneous solution.

Therefore, we can conclude that a homogeneous mixture or solution consists of substances in more than one phase.

How many moles are there in 1.09 kg of Al(OH)3?
alina1380 [7]
  question   1
moles  =  mass/molar  mass  of  Al(OH)3
convert   Kg  to  g
that  is  1.09  x  1000=1090g

moles  is  therefore=1090g/78(molar  mass  of Al(OH)3)=  13.974 moles

   question  2
moles=
2.55g/327.2(molar   mass  of  Pb(CO3)2=  7.79  x   10^-3   moles
from  avogadro  constant
1moles=6.02  x10^23  formula  units
what  about  7.79  x  10  ^-3
={(7.79  x  10^-3)moles  x ( 6.02  x10^23)} /1  mole=4.69  x10^21  formula  units

a new weight-loss fad claims that you can reduce your mass simply by traveling to the Moon where gravity is weaker. why is this
Lilit [14]
Your mass can never change no matter where you are since mass is the amount of matter you contain.  By going to the moon, you do become lighter due to the weaker gravity but the amount of matter that you are made of (your mass) does not change.

I hope the helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.
