Answer:

Radiology departments in hospitals use x-rays, MRIs, CT scans, etc. on a daily basis, meaning they are heavily exposed to radiation without protective equipment, and said exposure can cause cancer down the line and shorten their life significantly. To prevent this from happening, they give the radiologist (and the patient) with equipment with lead (and other materials) which reflects or absorbs the radiation from these scans, including shoes with special soles. These shoes are most likely worn due to the radiation left in the scanning room floors after scans. Radiologists also go to a special room with heavy radiation protection where they can activate and monitor the scan.

Alborosie

The human activity that impacts the weather on Earth negatively is the burning of fossil fuels. When burning the fossil fuels, the temperature on Earth is increased. This causes Greenhouse Gases. The EPA is trying to cut down on the burning of fossil fuels by closing down power plants ran off of coal.

Determine the [H3O+] in a 0.265 M HClO solution. The Ka of HClO is 2.9 × 10-8.

dexar [7]

8.8 × 10-5 M is the [H3O+] concentration in 0.265 M HClO solution.

Explanation:

HClO is a weak acid and does not completely dissociate in water as ions.

the equation of dissociation can be written and ice table to be formed.

HClO +H2O ⇒ ClO- + H3O+

I 0.265 0 0

C -x +x +x

E 0.265-x +x +x

Now applying the equation of Ka, where Ka is given as 2.9 × 10-8.

Ka = $\frac{[ClO-][H3O+]}{[HClO]}$

2.9 × 10^-8 = $\frac{[x] [x]}{[0.265-x]}$

$x^{2}$ = 7.698 x $10^{-9}$

x = 8.8 × 10-5 M

The hydronium ion concentration is 8.8 × 10-5 M in 0.265 M solution of HClO.

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Equal volumes of SO2(g) and O2(g) at STP contain the same number of molecules

Explanation:

According to Avogadro Law,

Equal volume of all the gases at same temperature and pressure have equal number of molecules.

This law state that volume and number of moles of gas have direct relation.

When the amount of gas increases its volume will increase and when the amount of gas decreases its volume will decrease.

Mathematical relation:

V ∝ n

V/n = K

K is proportionality constant.

When number of moles change from n₁ to n₂ and volume from V₁ to V₂

expression will be,

V₁/n₁ = K , V₂/n₂ = K

V₁/n₁ = V₂/n₂

What is the mass of and object with a volume of 100 cm3 and a density of 10 g/cm3?

nadezda [96]

Answer:

1000 g

Explanation:

d = m/v

We are given d: 10g/cm3

and v: 100cm3

Plug them into the equation to get 10 = m/100

Then, cross multiply 10x100 to get mass which is: 1000g

How is it possible for helium to have 8 spectral lines when it only has 2 electrons?

neonofarm [45]

It has more lines in it compared to hydrogen emission spectrum. It is mainly because the helium atom has more electrons than a hydrogen atom. Therefore, more electrons get excited when we pass a white light beam through a helium sample, and it causes the emission of more spectral lines
