Answer:

The increasing order of the ability to cause harm to living tissue:

Weapons  < Television tubes < Nuclear medicine < Cosmic radiation <Ground < Diagnostic X rays < Air (radon-222)

Explanation:

Here, the ability of the radiation to harm living tissue is measured in terms of millirem

Unit conversion:

1\ millirem = \frac{1}{1000}\  rem = 0.001\ rem\\\\or,\ 1\ rem = 1000\ millirem

The given radiation doses can be converted into units of millirems for comparison:

Weapons test fallout = 1 millirem

Cosmic radiation = 26 millirems

Air (radon-222) =  0.198 rems  = 198 millirems

Diagnostic X rays =  0.040 rems  = 40 millirems

Television tubes = 11 millirems

Nuclear medicine =  0.015 rems  = 15 millirem

Ground = 33 millirems

Since a greater dosage of radiation would lead to greater risk, the increasing order of their ability to cause harm to living tissue would be:

Weapons  < Television tubes < Nuclear medicine < Cosmic radiation <Ground < Diagnostic X rays < Air (radon-222)

What was the resulting molarity of your primary standard solution of potassium iodate kio3?
melamori03 [73]
Missing question: 0,535 gram of KIO₃ dissolved in 250 mL of de-ionized water to <span>make primary standard solution.
m(</span>KIO₃) = 0,535 g.
V(KIO₃) = 250 mL ÷ 1000 mL/L = 0,25 L.
n(KIO₃) = m(KIO₃) ÷ M(KIO₃).
n(KIO₃) = 0,535 g ÷ 214 g/mol.
n(KIO₃) = 0,0025 mol.
c(KIO₃) = n(KIO₃) ÷ V(KIO₃).
c(KIO₃) = 0,0025 mol ÷ 0,25 L.
c(KIO₃) = 0,01 mol/L = 0,01 M.

Which formula represents an ionic compound?<br> (1) NaCl (3) HCl<br> (2) N2O (4) H2O
Juliette [100K]
NaCl consists of a salt, which is a nonmetal (Na) and Cl, which is a metal. When a nonmetal and a metal are combined, it makes the compound ionic.

Which formula represents lead (ii) phosphate? 1. pbpo4 2. pb4po4 3. pb3(po4)2 4. pb2(po4)3?
IrinaVladis [17]
3.) Charge on one molecule of PO4 is -3. So on two molecule it'll be 2(-3) = -6. Let oxidation number of Pb be x. Therefore, 3x+(-6) = 0. 3x=6. x=2.

Using the 5M NaCI and 10% glucose stock solutions you generated, how would you prepare 100 ml of a solution that is both 150mM N
fredd [130]

Answer:

Take 3 mL of the 5 M NaCl solution, 10 mL of the 10% glucose solution, and add water for a final volume of 100 mL.

Explanation:

  • In order to calculate the required volume of the 5 M NaCl solution, we calculated the moles contained in a 100 mL solution that has a concentration of 150 mM:

0.1 L * 0.150 M = 0.015 moles of NaCl

With those moles we can calculated the required volume, using the concentration of the stock solution:

0.015 mol / 5 M = 0.003 L = 3 mL.

  • To make a solution that has a 1 % concentration of glucose, from a 10 % glucose solution, is the same as to make it ten times less concentrated. Thus, with a final volume of 100 mL, you would need to take 10 mL of the 10% glucose solution, because 100mL * 10/100 = 10.

So in order to prepare the solution, you would need to take 3 mL of the 5 M NaCl solution, 10 mL of the 10% glucose solution, and add water for a final volume of 100 mL.
