Answer:

b . Irradiated food is shown to not be radioactive.

Explanation:

If it can be proven that irradiated food is not radioactive, then it will effective dispute the idea that irradiated food are less safe to eat.

  • An irradiated food is one in which ionizing radiations have been employed to improve food quality.
  • Thus, bacteria and other food spoilers can be exterminated from the food.
  • Most irradiated food do not contain radiation and are fit for consumption.

If it can be proven, that this is true, then it will challenge the idea that irradiated foods are not safe.

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Given the following list of densities, which materials would float in a molten vat of lead provided that they do not themselves melt?

Densities (g/mL): lead = 11.4, glass = 2.6, gold = 19.3, charcoal = 0.57, platinum = 21.4.

glass and charcoal

Explanation:

The density of molten lead is about 10.65Kg/m^3

By Archimedes principles, the buoyancy of an object in a fluid is proportional to the mass of fluid displaced

which in turn is proportional to the object's density

Generally an object well float when placed on a denser medium

glass =2.6, and charcoal =0.57 are both less dense so they will float on Lead
