C. Microwaves.

Starting with the most obviously dangerous, gamma rays are the highest frequency and most energetic form of light. They penetrate the human body and cause radiation poisoning after nuclear events like melt downs. Very harmful.

X-Rays penetrate skin and muscle but not bones. They're useful for medical and dental imaging, but if they interact with your DNA, they can cause cancer. In fact, the first people to die because of X-rays were shoe salesmen. They used an x-ray device to scan people's feet and were overexposed to harmful x-rays.

UV rays can interact with your skin and your eyes. They cause you to tan, get a sunburn, or get skin cancer. Their wavelength allows them to penetrate the top layers of your skin, and if they interact with your skin cells, they can develop cancer.

Visible light is harmful to your eyes when bright enough, like staring at the sun or a high energy laser beam. Dark spots can be burned into your retinas, and you'd have those spots permanently.

Infrared light is heat, so you can be burned when close to fires or radiant heat sources.

Since we are mostly made of water, microwaves can harm us. Microwave ovens are made to be very safe, but when they were first developed, radiation leakage could be harmful. If there was a big enough microwave oven and you were inside it, it would be incredibly harmful!

It is not known if radio waves can be harmful. Our cell phones transmit in the radio/microwave part of the spectrum, and studies are being done to see if they have long term harmful effects.

So while all forms of electromagnetic waves can be harmful, the ones usually though of as harmful are Gamma rays, X-rays, and Ultraviolet light.

Calculate the volume of 1M NaOH required to neutralize 200 cc of 2M HCI. What mass of sodium
Nezavi [6.7K]

NaOH+HCl-> NaCl+H2O

1 mole of NaOH

1 mole of HCl.

To calculate volume of NaOH

CaVa/CbVb= Na/Nb

Where Ca=2M

Cb=1M

Va=200cm³

Vb=xcm³

Substitute into the equation.

2×200/1×Vb=1/1

400/Vb=1/1

Cross multiply

Vb×1=400×1

Vb=400cm³

To calculate the mass of sodium chloride, NaCl from the neutralization rxn.

Mole of NaCl=1

Molar mass of NaCl= 23+35.5=58.5

Mass=xgrammes.

Mass of NaCl=Number of moles × Molar mass.

Substitute

Mass of NaCl= 1×58.5

=58.5g

This is what I could come up with.

Explain why an atom may go through nuclear decay but another won't? use examples to support your answer.
Marta_Voda [28]
Nuclear decay or radioactive decay is a process by which the nucleus of an unstable atom loses energy that is in terms of its mass. The radioactivity may cause an atom to lose whichever of its subatomic particles.

The explanation as why some of the atoms go through nuclear decay while others do not its because of the stability of some atoms. Atoms usually tend to follow octet rule, those which do not follow through this may experience the nuclear decay.

Determine the number of atoms of each element in the empirical formula of a compound with the following composition:
34kurt
To determine the empirical formula of the compound, we assume a basis of 100 g of this compound. We calculate as follows:

C = 68.75 g
H = 10.90 g
O = 20.35 g

We convert these mass to moles,
C = 68.75 g / 12.01 g/mol = 5.72 mol
H = 10.90 g / 1.01 g/mol = 10.79 mol
O = 20.35 g / 16 g/mol = 1.27 mol

C = 5.72 mol / 1.27 mol = 5
H = 10.79 mol / 1.27 mol = 8
O = 1.27 mol / 1.27 mol = 1
