<u>Answer:</u> 2.36\times 10^{15} metric tons of oxygen is present.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mass of oxygen in atmosphere = 2.60\times 10^{15}\text{ short tons}

To convert it into metric tons, we use the conversion factors:

1\text{ short ton}=2000lb

And,

1\text{ metric ton}=2204.62lb

Converting short tons into pounds, we get:

\Rightarrow 2.60\times 10^{15}\text{ short tons}\times (\frac{2000lb}{\text{1 short ton}})=5.2\times 10^{18}lb

Now, converting the given mass in pounds to metric tons, we get:

\Rightarrow 5.2\times 10^{18}lb\times (\frac{\text{1 metric ton}}{2204.62lb})=2.36\times 10^{15}\text{metric ton}

Hence, 2.36\times 10^{15} metric tons of oxygen is present.

Is cobalt 60 more dangerous than bananas ( potassium 40) and why ?
maxonik [38]

Answer:

To the best of my knowledge, it is because of the amount of gamma rays is given off.

Explanation:

While both are isotopes, Potassium 40 gives off fewer gamma rays compared to Cobalt 60. Potassium 40 isn't really harmful to humans, but Cobalt 60 (I believe) is used in chemotherapy.
