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>

A sample of gas occupies 17 mL at -122°C. What volume does the sample occupy at 70°C?
aev [14]

Answer: 38.6 ml

Explanation:

Charles' Law: This law states that volume is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure and number of moles.


V\propto T    (At constant pressure and number of moles)

\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}

V_1= initial volume = 17 ml

V_2= final volume = ?

T_1= initial temperature =-122^0C=273+(-122)=151K

T_2=final temperature=70^0C= 70+273=343K

\frac{17}{151}=\frac{V_2}{343}

V_2=38.6ml

Thus final volume is 38.6 ml at 70^0C

What does geotropism enable plants to do
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

Growing toward gravity is called geotropism. Plants also exhibit phototropism, or growing toward a light source. This response is controlled by a plant growth hormone called auxin. As shown in Figure below, auxin stimulates cells on the dark side of a plant to grow longer.

Explanation:

Hope this helps and have a great day :)

A student measured out 0.333 moles of theobromine, CyH3N402 (MM = 180.8/mol) the
Verdich [7]

Answer

2.0 x 10²³ molecules.

Explanation

Given:

The number of moles of theobromide measured out = 0.333 moles.

MM of theobromide = 180.8 g/mol

What to find:

The number of molecules of theobromide the student measured.

To go from moles to molecules, multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's number.

The Avogadro's number = 6.02 x 10²³

1 mole of theobromide contains 6.02 x 10²³ molecules.

So, 0.333 moles of theobromide measured out will have (0.333 x 6.02 x 10²³) = 2.0 x 10²³ molecules.

A car can accelerate from a standstill to 100 km/h [E] in 9.60s. calculate the average acceleration
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Acceleration is :

a = 2.89 m/s2

Explanation:

Acceleration : It is the change in the velocity of the object per unit time.

The object starts from the rest , so the initial velocity of the object is zero.

Initial velocity , u = 0

Final velocity = 100 km/h

Change the velocity to m/s because[ time unit is in second(9.60 s)]

1 km = 1000 m

1 hour = 60 x 60 sec = 3600 sec

1km/h=\frac{1000}{3600}m/s

1km/hr=\frac{5}{18}

100km/hr=\frac{5}{18}\times 100

v=\frac{5}{18}\times 100

v = 27.78 m/s

u = 0 m/s

time = 9.60 s

The acceleration"a" is calculated using :

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

a=\frac{27.78-0}{9.6}

a=\frac{27.78}{9.6}

a=2.89m/s^{2}
