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.

Which of the following is ranked from smallest to largest?
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

The order is: electron, carbon, water,  glucose, glycogen.    

Explanation:

The electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle and is therefore the smallest.

Carbon is a chemical element, which belongs to the group-14 of periodic table and has atomic number 6.

Water is a odorless, almost colorless and tasteless chemical compound which is necessary for all the known living form. The chemical formula is H2O and it is composed of 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

Glucose is a monosaccharide sugar and a type of simple carbohydrate. The chemical formula is C6H12O6 and is composed of 6 carbon atoms, 6 oxygen atoms and 12 hydrogen atoms.

Glycogen is a branched polysaccharide molecule, which is composed of multiple monomeric glucose units. Therefore, it is the largest.

<u>Therefore, the increasing order is: electron, carbon, water,  glucose, glycogen.</u>

astraxan [27]

Answer:

3,964 years.

Explanation:

  • It is known that the decay of a radioactive isotope isotope obeys first order kinetics.
  • Half-life time is the time needed for the reactants to be in its half concentration.
  • If reactant has initial concentration [A₀], after half-life time its concentration will be ([A₀]/2).
  • Also, it is clear that in first order decay the half-life time is independent of the initial concentration.

  • The half-life of the element is 5,730 years.

  • For, first order reactions:

<em>k = ln(2)/(t1/2) = 0.693/(t1/2).</em>

Where, k is the rate constant of the reaction.

t1/2 is the half-life of the reaction.

∴ k =0.693/(t1/2) = 0.693/(5,730 years) = 1.21 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹.

  • Also, we have the integral law of first order reaction:

<em>kt = ln([A₀]/[A]),</em>

where, k is the rate constant of the reaction (k = 1.21 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹).

t is the time of the reaction (t = ??? year).

[A₀] is the initial concentration of the sample ([A₀] = 100%).

[A] is the remaining concentration of the sample ([A] = 61.9%).

∴ t = (1/k) ln([A₀]/[A]) = (1/1.21 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹) ln(100%/61.9%) = 3,964 years.
