<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>
There are 100 degrees between the freezing (0°) and boiling points (100°) of water on the Celsius scale and 180 degrees between the similar points (32° and 212°) on the Fahrenheit scale.
Problem: Two scientists are doing an experiment designed to identify the boiling point
Answer: 250°F is the higher temperature by 2°F
Answer:
0.5
Explanation:
1 mole of ammonium nitrate contains 2 moles of nirogen
1 mole of nitrogen converts to 0.5 moles of ammonium nitrate
the conversation factor is 0.5
Answer:
0.11 mol
Explanation:
<em>This is the chemical formula for acetic acid (the chemical that gives the sharp taste to vinegar): CH₃CO₂H. An analytical chemist has determined by measurements that there are 0.054 moles of oxygen in a sample of acetic acid. How many moles of hydrogen are in the sample?</em>
Step 1: Given data
- Formula of acetic acid: CH₃CO₂H
- Moles of oxygen in the sample of acetic acid: 0.054 moles
Step 2: Establish the appropriate molar ratio
According to the chemical formula of acetic acid, the molar ratio of H to O is 4:2.
Step 3: Calculate the moles of atoms of hydrogen
We will use the theoretical molar ratio for acetic acid.
0.054 mol O × (4 mol H/2 mol O) = 0.11 mol H
