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)

USPshnik [31]
Molar mass Na = 23g/mol
46g = 456/2 = 2mol
1mol = 6.022*10^23 atoms
2mol = 2*6.022*10623
= 1.204*10^24 atoms

Find the pH of a 0.350 M aqueous benzoic acid solution. For benzoic add. Ka = 6.5 x 10^-5.
slava [35]

Answer:

correct option is (a)

The solution would be using this: C6H5COOH = H+ + C6H5COO Ka = 6.5 x 10^-5 = (H+)(C6H5COO-) over

(C6H5COOH)

Let X = moles per liter (H+) and also = moles per liter (C6H5COO-)

Ka = 6.5 x 10^-5 = (X)(X) over .350 molar = acid solution 6.5 x 10^-5 = X^2 over .350

X^2 = 6.5 x 10^-5 times .350 which = 2.275 x 10^-5

x = V2.275 x 10^-5

X = 1.5083 x 10^-5 moles per liter H+

pH = -log(H+) = -log 1.5083 x 10^-5 which

= 4.6215
