DeltaH formation = deltaH of broken bonds - deltaH of formed bonds
Broken bonds: tiple bond N-N and H-H bond
Formed bonds: N-H and N-N bonds
You also have to take note of the molar coefficients
deltaH formation = <span> [(N≡N) + 2 * (H-H)] - [4 * (N-H) + (N-N)]
= (945 + 2*436) - (4*390 + 240)
= 17 kJ/mol
The answer is 17 kJ/mol.</span>
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Gamma radiation penetrates the cell wall of prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria and can inhibit their metabolic functions as well as destroy their DNA.
Debunking the other answers:
A is incorrect as Gamma radiation is used in the treatment of cancer via radiotherapy.
B is incorrect as Gamma rays are too small and would just penetrate any smoke particles.
C is incorrect because Gamma rays are used to disinfect food products to prevent food borne illness. Irradiation is safe to use on food and does not make it radioactive.
Thus, D is correct.
It's Newton in the blank...
