How can exposoure to high energy waves be both harmful and helpful to cells??

1 answer:

3 0

Exposure to high energy waves can be helpful to cells by damaging DNA in cells, meaning if somebody were to have cancer cells it breaks down the bad cells and it can shrink tumor. It can be harmful by damaging skin cells, which we need as our first line of defense. Meaning, it could cause skin cancer. Hope this helped!

The diameter of the He He atom is approximately 0.10 nm nm . Calculate the density of the He atom in g/cm 3 g/cm3 (assuming that

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Density of the He atom = 12.69 g/cm³

Explanation:

From the information given:

Since 1 mole of an atom = 6.022x 10²³ atoms)

1 atom of He = $1 \ atom \times (\dfrac{1 \ mole}{ 6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms}) \times ( \dfrac{4.003 \ grams}{ 1 \ mole})$

$=6.647 \times 10^{-24} \ grams$

The volume can be determined as folows:

since the diameter of the He atom is approximately 0.10 nm

the radius of the He = $\dfrac{0.10}{2}$ = 0.05 nm

Converting it into cm, we have:

$0.05 nm \times \dfrac{10^{-9} \ meters}{ 1 nm} \times \dfrac{ 1 cm }{10^{-2} \ meters}$

$=5 \times 10^{-9} \ cm$

Assuming that it is a sphere, the volume of a sphere is

= $\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

= $\dfrac{4}{3}\pi \times (5\times 10^{-9})^3$

= $5.236 \times 10^{-25} \ cm^3$

Finally, the density can be calcuated by using the formula :

$Density = \dfrac{mass}{volume}$

$D = \dfrac{6.647 \times 10^{-24} \ grams }{ 5.236 \times 10^{-25} \ cm^3}$

D = 12.69 g/cm³

Density of the He atom = 12.69 g/cm³

Plants undergo photosynthesis to produce glucose according to the reaction below. What mass of water is required to produce 5.0g

solniwko [45]

Answer:

option a) 3 g

Explanation:

mass of Glucose = 5 g

Mass of H₂O = ?

Reaction Given:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O ----> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Solution:

First we have to find mass of glucose from balanced reaction.

So,

Look at the reaction

6CO₂ + 6H₂O -------> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

6 mol 1 mol

As 6 mole of water (H₂O) give 1 mole of Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆ )

Convert moles to mass

molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ = 6(12) + 12(1) + 6(16)

molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ = 72 + 12 + 96

molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₆= 180 g/mol

molar mass of H₂O = 2(1) + 16 = 18 g/mol

Now

6CO₂ + 6H₂O ---------> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

6 mol (18 g/mol) 1 mol (180 g/mol)

108 g 180 g

108 g of water (H₂O) produce 180 g of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆)

if 108 g of water (H₂O) produce 180 g of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) so how many grams of water (H₂O) will be required to produce 5 g of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆).

Apply Unity Formula

108 g of water (H₂O) ≅ 180 g of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆)

X g of water (H₂O) ≅ 5 g of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆)

Do cross multiply

mass of water (H₂O) = 108 g x 5 g / 180 g

mass of water (H₂O) = 3 g

So 3 g of water is required to produce 5 g of glucose.
