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

The formula for rust can be represented by fe2o3 how many moles of fe are present in 25.7 g

leonid [27]

To calculate the number of moles, simply take the ratio of mass and molar mass. The molar mass of Iron (Fe) is equal to 55.85 g/mol.Therefore the total number of moles is:
moles Fe = 25.7 g / (55.85 g / mol)

moles Fe = 0.46 mole

How much heat is needed warm 65.34 g of water from 18.43 to 21.75

BaLLatris [955]

Given that

Mass of water = 65.34 g

Amount of heat = mass of water * specific heat (temperature change

)

= 65.34 g * 4.184 J / g-C ( 21.75-18.43 )C

= 907.63 J

= 0.908 KJ

And

1 cal = 4.186798 J

907.63 J * 1 cal / 4.186798 J =216.78 cal

Or0.218 kcal
