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).

The molecular formula of the compound is C12H15O3 hence the molar mass of the compound is 207 g/mol.

We need to obtain the number of moles of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in the compound;

Carbon = 24.91 g/44g/mol × 1 mole of carbon = 0.566 moles

Mass of carbon =  0.566 moles × 12 g/mol = 6.792 g

Number of moles of hydrogen = 6.522 g/18 g/mol × 2 moles = 0.725 moles

Mass of hydrogen = 0.725 moles  × 1 g/mol = 0.725 g

Mass of oxygen = 10 - (6.792 g + 0.725 g) = 2.483 g

Number of moles of oxygen = 2.483 g/16 g/mol = 0.155 moles

Now we must divide through by the lowest number of moles;

C - 0.566/0.155   H - 0.725/0.155     O - 0.155/0.155

C - 4                    H - 5                        O - 1

The simplest formula is C4H5O Recall that the molar mass of the compound lies between 150.0 and 220.0 g/mol

4(12) + 5(1) + 16 = 69

Hence; n = 3 and the molecular formula of the compound is C12H15O3

The molar mass of the compound is; 12(12) + 15(1) + 3(16) = 207 g/mol
