Answer:

B. liquid to gas

Explanation:

Matter exists in 3 different states:

- Solid: in solids, particles in the substance are tightly bond to each other through strong intermolecular forces. Therefore, they can only vibrate around their fixed position, but they cannot move freely: as a result, the distance between the particles is the smallest among the 3 states of matter.

- Liquid: in a liquid, particles are able to slide past each other, however there are still intermolecular forces keeping them not too far from each other. As a result, in liquids, particles are on average more distance from each other compared to solids.

- Gas: in a gas, particles are completely free to move, as the intermolecular forces between them are negligible. As a result, in gases, the distance between molecules is the greatest, compared with solids and liquids.

Therefore, the phase changes in which the average distance between molecules increases is:

B. liquid to gas

Which of the following is true: A. Gamma rays are too dangerous to be used in a medicinal way. B. Gamma radiation is used common

ratelena [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Gamma radiation penetrates the cell wall of prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria and can inhibit their metabolic functions as well as destroy their DNA.

Debunking the other answers:

A is incorrect as Gamma radiation is used in the treatment of cancer via radiotherapy.

B is incorrect as Gamma rays are too small and would just penetrate any smoke particles.

C is incorrect because Gamma rays are used to disinfect food products to prevent food borne illness. Irradiation is safe to use on food and does not make it radioactive.

Thus, D is correct.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

e. None of these.

Explanation:

Hey there!

In this case, since the Henry's law is defined in terms of pressure, henry's constant and pressure, as shown below:

$C=K_H*P$

Whereas C is the concentration, KH the Henry's constant and P the pressure, we infer that the concentration of a gas solution is directly proportional to the pressure, which is not the group choices, therefore, the answer is e. None of these.
