<span>While
treating food with gamma rays kills microorganism by damaging their DNA, the energy
of gamma rays rips off electrons from atoms hence ionizing them (causing free radicals).
However, gamma rays do not make the food atoms radioactive. The body has a natural
mechanism of riding the body of free radicals. However, large quantities of radicals in the body can cause
damage.</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
C decays by a process called beta decay. During this process, an atom of 14C decays into an atom of 14N, during which one of the neutrons in the carbon atom becomes a proton. This increases the number of protons in the atom by one, creating a nitrogen atom rather than a carbon atom.
The theoretical proportion is given by the balanced chemical equation:
2 mol NBr / 3 mol Na OH
Then x mol NaOH / 40 mol NBr3 = 3mol NaOH/2 mol NBr3
Solve for x, x = 40 * 3/2 = 60 mol NaOH.
Given that there are 48 mol NaOH (less than 60) this is the limitant reactant and the other is the excess reactant.
Answer: NBr3..

Answer:
0.0457 M
Explanation:
The reaction that takes place is:
- 2HBr + Ca(OH)₂ → CaBr₂ + 2H₂O
First we<u> calculate how many moles of acid reacted</u>, using the <em>HBr solution's concentration and volume</em>:
- Molarity = Moles / Volume
- Molarity * Volume = Moles
- 0.112 M * 12.4 mL = 1.389 mmol HBr
Now we <u>convert HBr moles to Ca(OH)₂ moles</u>, using the stoichiometric ratio:
- 1.389 mmol HBr *
= 0.6944 mmol Ca(OH)₂
Finally we <u>calculate the molarity of the Ca(OH)₂ solution</u>, using the <em>given volume and calculated moles</em>:
- 0.6944 mmol Ca(OH)₂ / 15.2 mL = 0.0457 M
