Answer:
D
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.
Answer:
0.1988 J/g°C
Explanation:
-Qmetal = Qwater
Q = mc∆T
Where;
Q = amount of heat
m = mass of substance
c = specific heat of substance
∆T = change in temperature
Hence;
-{mc∆T} of metal = {mc∆T} of water
From the information provided in this question, For water; m= 22.0g, ∆T = (24°C-19°C), c = 4.18J/g°C.
For metal; m= 34.0g, ∆T = (24°C-92°C), c = ?
Note that, the final temperature of water and the metal = 24°C
-{34 × c × (24°C-92°C)} = 22 × 4.18 × (24°C-19°C)
-{34 × c × (-68°C)} = 459.8
-{34 × c × -68} = 459.8
-{-2312c} = 459.8
+2312c = 459.8
c = 459.8/2312
c = 0.1988
The specific heat capacity of the metal is 0.1988 J/g°C
Answer and Explanation:
In H2O molecules, due to formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds, there is molecular association. Large amount of energy is required to break these intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding is not possible in H2S. Hence, its boiling point is lower and is a gas.
The six steps of the scientific are:
1. State the question
2. Conduct research
3. Create a hypothesis
4. Perform the experiment
5. Analyze the data
6. Conclusion
So D. would be the correct answer, even though communicating the results could possibly be a step if it's required.
Answer:
The answer to your question is P2 = 342 kPa
Explanation:
Data
Pressure 1 = P1 = 155 kPa
Volume 1 = V1 = 22 l
Pressure 2 = P2 = ?
Volume 2 = V2 = 10 l
Temperature = constant
Process
1.- Write the equation of the combined gas law
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/ T2
Cancel T1 and T2 because they measure the same
P1V1 = P2V2
-Solve for P2
P2 = P1V1/V2
2.- Substitution
P2 = (155 x 22) / 10
3.- Simplification
P2 = 3410 / 10
4.- Result
P2 = 342 kPa
