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.

What would cause the shape of a molecule to be tetrahedral?
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

A molecule is tetrahedral if the central atom has four bonds and no lone pairs.

Explanation:

A typical example is a molecule of methane (see image).

The electron pairs in the bonds repel the electrons in the other bonds, so they all try to get as far from each other as possible.

They can do this if the bonds point to the corners of a tetrahedron, with bond angles of 109.5°.

coldgirl [10]

Answer: Correct statements are given below:

1) In activity series elements are listed according to their reactivity.

2) Nuclear reaction in which low atomic nuclei fuse to form a heavier nucleus with the release of energy. Nuclear fusion reaction occurs in the sun.

3) C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O is the example of a combustion reaction.

4) 2Fe + O2 → 2FeO is the example of synthesis reaction. In synthesis reaction is a type of reaction in which two reactants combine to form a single product.

When the pressure that a gas exerts on a sealed container changes from 22.5 psi to ? psi, the temperature changes from 110 degre
natta225 [31]
Using Gay-Lussac's Law, pressure is proportional to (absolute) temperature in Kelvin. We first convert the temperature values to Kelvin: 110 C = 383.15 K, while 65 C = 338.15 K.
P1/T1 = P2/T2
22.5/383.15 = P2/338.15
P2 = 19.9 psi
