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.

The reaction will produce 12.1 g Ag₂S.

<em>Balanced equation</em> = 2Ag + S ⟶ Ag₂S

<em>Mass of Ag₂S</em> = 10.5 g Ag × (1 mol Ag/107.87 g Ag) × (1 mol Ag₂S/2 mol Ag)

× (247.80 g Ag₂S/1 mol Ag₂S) = 12.1 g Ag₂S

A fusion reaction always creates which of the following?
ICE Princess25 [194]

A fusion reaction can be regarded as the type of reaction that occurs where two lighter elements come together in a type of reaction giving rise to a heavier/more massive element.

A fusion reaction always creates a more massive atomic nucleus (option c).

When the two lighter nuclei comes together in a reaction, a more heavier/massive nucleus is formed but its mass will still be less than the combined mass of the two reactant nuclei.

This also indicates that the left over mass may have been released as energy.

The vapor pressure of benzene is 73.03 mm Hg at 25°C. How many grams of estrogen (estradiol), C18H24O2, a nonvolatile, nonelectr
alexira [117]

Answer:

14.9802 grams of estrogen must be added to 216.7 grams of benzene.

Explanation:

The relative lowering of vapor pressure of solution containing non volatile solute is equal to mole fraction of solute.

\frac{p_o-p_s}{p_o}=\frac{n_2}{n_1+n_2}

Where:

p_o = Vapor pressure of pure solvent

p_s = Vapor pressure of the solution

n_1 = Number of moles of solvent

n_2 = Number of moles of solute

p_o = 73.03 mmHg

p_s= 71.61 mmHg

n_1=\frac{216.7 g}{78.12 g/mol}=2.7739 mol

\frac{73.03 mmHg-71.61 mmHg}{73.03 mmHg}=\frac{n_2}{2.7739 mol+n_2}

n_2=0.05499 mol

Mass of 0.05499 moles of estrogen :

= 0.05499 mol × 272.4 g/mol = 14.9802 g

14.9802 grams of estrogen must be added to 216.7 grams of benzene.

katrin [286]

Answer:

cells arose from preexisting cells

Explanation:

<em>Rudolph Virchow is a German biologist that built on the work of other scientists such as Theodor Schwan to contribute his own quota to the development of the cell theory as it is currently known.</em>

After several studies, Virchow rejected the idea of spontaneous generation and accepted the initially rejected idea of cell division. He earlier believed that cell division only takes place is some special type of cells and not in all cells.

Even though Virchow was not the first to bring the idea of cells arising from preexisting cells, he was the one that popularized the idea and added it to the earlier belief that all living organisms are made up of cells.
