What is the yearly exposure from wearing a watch with a luminous dial?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Marizza181 [45]3 years ago
3 0
Until well in the 60ties, the luminous dials of wrist watches and alarm clocks were marked with luminous paints containing Radium (Ra-226) or Promethium (Pm-147). These kind of watches are no longer manufactured today. This is not due to the radiation exposure to the persons wearing the watches but because of the radiological risk for the persons manufacturing them.

Hope this helps

In what way may drugs be used to affect neurotransmitters?
Orlov [11]
Drugs interfere with the way neurons send, receive, and process signals via neurotransmitters. Some drugs, such as marijuana and heroin, can activate neurons because their chemical structure mimics that of a natural neurotransmitter in the body. This allows the drugs to attach onto and activate the neurons. Although these drugs mimic the brain’s own chemicals, they don’t activate neurons in the same way as a natural neurotransmitter, and they lead to abnormal messages being sent through the network.

Other drugs, such as amphetamine or cocaine, can cause the neurons to release abnormally large amounts of natural neurotransmitters or prevent the normal recycling of these brain chemicals by interfering with transporters. This too amplifies or disrupts the normal communication between neurons.

If 30.0 g absorbs 255 J of heat, how much does the temperature of the water change? Would the temperature be increasing or decre
Nutka1998 [239]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Change in temperature = 2.03°C, the temperature is increasing

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • To calculate the quantity of heat absorbed or released by a substance we multiply mass of the substance by it's specific heat capacity and the temperature change.
  • Therefore, Quantity of heat, Q = mass × specific heat × change in temperature

In this case;

Mass of water = 30.0 g

Quantity of heat absorbed = 255 J

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.186 J/g°C

Rearranging the formula, Δt = Q ÷ mc

Δt = 255 J ÷ (4.186 J/g°C×30.0 g )

  = 2.03 °C

The temperature change is 2.03°C, the temperature is therefore increasing.
