A. Thermometer is the weather instrument that has most improved the accuracy of weather forecasts over the past 40 years.
Both sides need to be balanced?
The balanced redox reaction, if it occurs in acidic solution, is
5C₂O₄²⁻(aq) + 2MnO₄⁻(aq) + 16H⁺-----> 10CO₂(g) + 2Mn²⁺(aq) + 8H₂O(l)
<h3>What are redox reaction?</h3>
Redox reactions are those in which loss and again of electrons occur.
To balance the redox reaction, we must first break the whole reaction into half equations;
Oxidation half equation
Reduction half equation
Now combine both the reactions
Thus, the coefficient of H₂C₂O₄ is 5 and that of water is 8.

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.
