Answer:

Explanation:

Radiation can either kill cells or damage the DNA within them, which damages their ability to reproduce and can eventually lead to cancer. However, it may be useful because it minimi damage to DNA

Find the average speed of a person who swims 105 m in 70 s

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

v = 1.5 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by a person, d = 105 m

Time taken, t = 70 s

We need to find the average speed of the person. We know that the average speed is given by :

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{105\ m}{70\ s}\\\\v=1.5\ m/s$

So, the average speed of the person is equal to 1.5 m/s.

If you mix 50mL of 0.1 M TRIS acid with 60 mL of0.2 M TRIS base, what will be the resulting pH?

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer: The pH of resulting solution is 8.7

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

For TRIS acid:

Molarity of TRIS acid solution = 0.1 M

Volume of solution = 50 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.1M=\frac{\text{Moles of TRIS acid}\times 1000}{50mL}\\\\\text{Moles of TRIS acid}=0.005mol$

For TRIS base:

Molarity of TRIS base solution = 0.2 M

Volume of solution = 60 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.2M=\frac{\text{Moles of TRIS base}\times 1000}{60mL}\\\\\text{Moles of TRIS base}=0.012mol$

Volume of solution = 50 + 60 = 110 mL = 0.11 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:

$pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[salt]}{[acid]})$

$pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[\text{TRIS base}]}{[\text{TRIS acid}]})$

We are given:

$pK_a$ = negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of TRIS acid = 8.3

$[\text{TRIS acid}]=\frac{0.005}{0.11}$

$[\text{TRIS base}]=\frac{0.012}{0.11}$

pH = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$pH=8.3+\log(\frac{0.012/0.11}{0.005/0.11})\\\\pH=8.7$

Hence, the pH of resulting solution is 8.7

A mixture consists of 28% oxygen, 14% hydrogen, and 58% nitrogen by volume. A sample of this mixture has a pressure of 4.0 atm i

stepladder [879]

Answer:

C) 1.3 mol

Explanation:

Using gas law we can find the initial moles of the sample of the mixture, as follows:

PV = nRT

PV / RT = n

Where P is pressure: 4.0atm

V is volume: 9.6L

R is gas constant: 0.082atmL/molK

T is absolute temperature: 300K

And n are moles of the gas

PV / RT = n

4.0atm*9.6L / 0.082atmL/molK300K = n

n = 1.56moles of the mixture of the gas are present into the 9.6L container

Now, 14% of this gas is hydrogen that was removed of the system, that is:

1.56mol*14% = 0.22 moles of hydrogen are removed.

Thus, moles of gas that remains in the container are:

1.56mol - 0.22mol = 1.34mol.

Right answer is:

15. transition metals has ____ valence electrons

Gemiola [76]

2 valence electrons

Explanation:

Most transition metals have 2 valence electrons. Valence electrons are the sum total of all the electrons in the highest energy level (principal quantum number n). Most transition metals have an electron configuration that is ns2(n−1)d , so those ns2 electrons are the valence electrons.
