A miner develops cancer of the esophagus. Ten years before, he had been exposed to radiation when he worked for a year in a mine

. He had also smoked cigarettes for a number of years, but had quit five years ago. Which statement best describes the miner’s condition?
A. Tests can determine whether the cancer was caused by exposure at the mine or by compounds in cigarette smoke so that a treatment can be determined.

B. Cancer caused by exposure at the mine would have appeared while he was at the mine, so smoking is the more likely cause.

C. The cancer is likely the result of natural exposure to radiation in the environment and not related to either the mine or smoking.

D. It is unlikely that a specific cause can be determined, but the treatment would likely be the same in either case.

Answer:

Option (D).

Explanation:

Cancer can be defined as a progressive disease, which involves uncontrolled cell growth with ability to spread or invade other parts organs of the body. It is resulted due to a number of mutations that lead to change in genetic material and cause destruction of cell cycle regulation.

As the miner had been exposed with both radiation and tobacco, it is quite tough to determined a specific cause for his cancer. This may be due to radiation or smoke or due to other factors.

Although treatment for cancer caused by either way would be same as it will target the cancer cells and kill them by prevent their growth and division.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

What is created when an acid is mixed with a base?
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

If you mix equal amounts of a strong acid and a strong base, the two chemicals essentially cancel each other out and produce a salt and water. Mixing equal amounts of a strong acid with a strong base also produces a neutral pH (pH = 7) solution.

Which one of the following represents a decrease in entropy?
Leni [432]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

There are principally three states of matter. These are the solid, liquid and gaseous states. The gaseous state has the highest degree of disorderliness as gas particles can move randomly while the solid state has the highest level of compactness.

Hence, we need to be adequately fed with information as regards the phase change to know if entropy has decreased or increased.

A. is wrong

Evaporation is a change of state to the gaseous state meaning there is an increased entropy.

B. is wrong

Sublimation is a change of state which means a solid substance like iodine or naphthalene changes its state directly to the gaseous state. There is an increased entropy here too.

C is wrong

Melting of ice means going from ice block to liquid water. This is synonymous to going from the solid state to the liquid state which is an increased entropy

D is correct

Condensation involves going from the gaseous state to the liquid state. This means going from a less ordered state to a more ordered state. This is accompanied by an entropy decrease.

E is wrong

While there are some processes that increase entropy, we also have some process that decrease entropy.

I don't know what you mean by the question, but in science it is Newton's second law.

"The second law explains how the velocity of an object changes when it is subjected to an external force."

I hope this helped!+*♡
