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>

18.2 mL of a 0.156 M solution of lead(II) nitrate are added to 26.2 mL of a 0.274 M solution of potassium iodide.
kow [346]

The mass of the Pbl2 : 1308.87

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

18.2 mL of a 0.156 M Pb(NO3)2

26.2 mL of a 0.274 M KI

Reaction

Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + 2 KI (aq) - Pbl2 (s) + 2 KNO3

Required

the mass of the Pbl2

Solution

mol Pb(NO3)2 = 18.2 x 0.156 = 2.8392 mlmol

mol KI = 26.2 x 0.274 =7.1788 mol

Limiting reactant Pb(NO3)2(smaller ratio of mol : reaction coeffiecient)

mol Pbl2 based on limiting reactant (Pb(NO3)2)

From equation, mol ratio of Pb(NO3)2 : Pbl2 = 1 : 1, so mol Pbl2=mol Pb(NO3)2=2.8392

Mass Pb(NO3)2 :

\tt mass=mol\times MW\\\\mass=2.8392\times 461\\\\mass=1308.87~grams

Consider the reaction: 2N2O(g) ⇌ O2(g) + 2N2(g). Which of the following will cause a shift in the equilibrium to the right? 1. A
Illusion [34]

Answer:

1. Add N2O and

3. Remove N2

Explanation:

In equilibrium, there is a balance between the concentrations of the reactants and products. If more reactants are added, the equilibrium will shift to the right, favoring the forward reaction. This cause an increase in the concentration of the product and the equilibrium constant is unchanged.

Products can also be removed in order to increase the amount of products formed, forward reaction. This shifts the equilibrium to the right.

In the reaction 2N2O <-----> O2 + 2N2, adding N2O to the mixture favors the forward reaction and more products are formed, equilibrium shifts to the right.

Also, removing the product formed favors the forward reaction as more products will be formed in order to achieve equilibrium. The equilibrium therefore shifts to the right.
