Answer:

The person should not be concerned about radon.

Explanation:

<em>A person living on the sixth floor of an aparment probably should not be concerned about radon</em>. In the conditions of the Earth's atmosphere (temperature and pressure), radon exists as a gas. This gas has a density that is approximately 8 times higher than the density of air (9.73 g/L compared to 1.22 g/L). <em>This means that radon gas would not rise, and instead remain close to the ground</em>, meaning that an apartment on a sixth floor is too far away from the ground for radon gas to reach there.

A gas being denser than air is also the reason why if you blow into a balloon, it will fall to the ground, because CO₂ is denser than air.

Question 3 of 5
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

A. More mass

C. Shorter distance between them

Explanation:

The two characteristics of a body experiencing greater gravitational force are that they have mass and a shorter distance between them.

This is conformity with Newton's law of universal gravitation.

The law states that "every object attracts one another with a force that is directly proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them".

This law implies that the more the mass of two bodies, the more the gravitational force of attraction. And that the shorter the square of the distance between them, the more the attraction.

What do the molecules do when they gain more kinetic energy and how does that affect the density?
GREYUIT [131]

The more kinetic energy a substance has, the warmer it will be and the faster particles will be moving, which reduces the density of the substance

Silver acetate breaks into ions. How many ions would one single formula unit make if dissolved in water? a. 1b. 2c. 3 d. 4 e. no
slava [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is b) 2

Explanation:

When is dissolved in water, silver acetate (AgCH₃COO) is dissociated into ions according to the following equilibrium:

AgCH₃COO ⇄ Ag⁺ + CH₃COO⁻

Where Ag⁺ is a silver cation and CH₃COO⁻ is the acetate anion (an organic anion). As we can see, from one single formula unit are obtained 2 ions (1 cation and 1 anion).

Therefore, the correct option is b) - 2
