Gamma rays are often used to kill microorganisms in food, in an attempt to make the food safer. Some people contend that this ir

radiated food is actually less safe to eat. Which, if true, would most effectively dispute their idea?

<span>While treating food with gamma rays kills microorganism by damaging their DNA, the energy of gamma rays rips off electrons from atoms hence ionizing them (causing free radicals). However, gamma rays do not make the food atoms radioactive. The body has a natural mechanism of riding the body of free radicals. However, large quantities of radicals in the body can cause damage.</span>

Which of the following will affect the rate of a chemical reaction?
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Solute concentration will afect the rate of a chemical reaction, because you must work with molarity

Explanation:

I think that solute mass may be it can affect the rate of reaction, if you have more mass in a solute, you will also have more moles.

If you want to know more, you have to consider temperature in the reaction and the  presence of catalysts. They all, affect reactions.

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

4.7 kJ/kmol-K

Explanation:

Using the Debye model the specific heat capacity in kJ/kmol-K

c = 12π⁴Nk(T/θ)³/5

where N = avogadro's number = 6.02 × 10²³ mol⁻¹, k = 1.38 × 10⁻²³ JK⁻¹, T = room temperature = 298 K and θ = Debye temperature = 2219 K  

Substituting these values into c we have

c = 12π⁴Nk(T/θ)³/5  

= 12π⁴(6.02 × 10²³ mol⁻¹)(1.38 × 10⁻²³ JK⁻¹)(298 K/2219 K)³/5

= 9710.83(298 K/2219 K)³/5

= 1942.17(0.1343)³

= 4.704 J/mol-K

= 4.704 × 10⁻³ kJ/10⁻³ kmol-K

= 4.704 kJ/kmol-K

≅ 4.7 kJ/kmol-K

So, the specific heat of diamond in kJ/kmol-K is 4.7 kJ/kmol-K
