Answer:

How Radiation Affects Your Body. Radiation can damage the DNA in our cells. High doses of radiation can cause Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS) or Cutaneous Radiation Injuries (CRI). High doses of radiation could also lead to cancer later in life.

Because radiation kills rapidly dividing cells (which is why we use it to treat fast-growing cancer cells), radiation exposure most increases the risk of cancers of rapidly dividing cells — leading to leukemia, lymphoma, breast cancer, bladder cancer, colon cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, esophageal cancer, ovarian

A rigid tank contains 0.66 mol of oxygen (O2). Find the mass of oxygen that must be withdrawn from the tank to lower the pressur

dsp73

Answer:

12.8 g of $O_{2}$ must be withdrawn from tank

Explanation:

Let's assume $O_{2}$ gas inside tank behaves ideally.

According to ideal gas equation- $PV=nRT$

where P is pressure of $O_{2}$ , V is volume of $O_{2}$ , n is number of moles of $O_{2}$ , R is gas constant and T is temperature in kelvin scale.

We can also write, $\frac{V}{RT}=\frac{n}{P}$

Here V, T and R are constants.

So, $\frac{n}{P}$ ratio will also be constant before and after removal of $O_{2}$ from tank

Hence, $\frac{n_{before}}{P_{before}}=\frac{n_{after}}{P_{after}}$

Here, $\frac{n_{before}}{P_{before}}=\frac{0.66mol}{43atm}$ and $P_{after}=17atm$

So, $n_{after}=\frac{n_{before}}{P_{before}}\times P_{after}=\frac{0.66mol}{43atm}\times 17atm=0.26mol$

So, moles of $O_{2}$ must be withdrawn = (0.66 - 0.26) mol = 0.40 mol

Molar mass of $O_{2}$ = 32 g/mol

So, mass of $O_{2}$ must be withdrawn = $(32\times 0.40)g=12.8g$

Why are metals alloyed?

Lady_Fox [76]

Because alloys have qualities that are preferable to pure metals, almost all metals are utilised as alloys—that is, mixes of several elements. Alloying is done for a variety of purposes, the most common of which are to increase strength, corrosion resistance, or cost savings.

Which of the following pollutants could be reduced through proper maintenance and area ventilation to improve human health?

azamat

Answer:

Chimney soot

Explanation:

The periodicity of chimney used in homes is very highly harmful to human health.
If proper maintenance and cleanliness and ventilation are taken care of on such organic compounds, it can also control human health.
Carbon compounds form chimneys are highly harmful to human health if timber or coal-fired black chimney soot can be disposed of from time to time and with constant maintenance we can control pollution.
