Answer:

Even small amounts of radiation over a prolonged period of time can be dangerous.

Explanation:

We all get exposed to radiation, such as through x-rays, and it's fine as one off experiences. However, if you're constantly dealing with radiation without any sort of protection, no matter how small the amount is, it could potentially lead to consequences like cancer. This is due to the fact that radiation can alter our genes

At constant pressure, which of these systems do work on the surroundings? A ( s ) + B ( s ) ⟶ C ( g ) A(s)+B(s)⟶C(g) 2 A ( g ) +

Tju [1.3M]

Correct question:

At constant pressure, which of these systems do work on the surroundings?

(a) A ( s ) + B ( s ) ⟶ C ( g )

(b) 2 A ( g ) + 2 B ( g ) ⟶ 5 C ( g )

(d) 2 A ( g ) + 2 B ( g ) ⟶ 3 C ( g )

Answer:

(a) A ( s ) + B ( s ) ⟶ C ( g )

(b) 2 A ( g ) + 2 B ( g ) ⟶ 5 C ( g )

Explanation:

Work done by a system on the surroundings at a constant pressure is given as;

W = -PΔV

Where;

ΔV is gas expansion, that is final volume of the gas minus initial volume of the gas must be greater than zero.

Part (a)

A ( s ) + B ( s ) ⟶ C ( g )

ΔV = 1 - (0) = 1 (expansion)

Part (b)

2 A ( g ) + 2 B ( g ) ⟶ 5 C ( g )

ΔV = 5 - ( 2+ 2) = 1 (expansion)

Part (c)

A ( g ) + B ( g ) ⟶ C ( g )

ΔV = 1 - ( 1 + 1) = -1 (compression)

Part (d)

2 A ( g ) + 2 B ( g ) ⟶ 3 C ( g )

ΔV = 3 - ( 4) = -1 (compression)

Thus, systems where there is gas expansion are in part (a) and part (b). The correct answers are:

(a) A ( s ) + B ( s ) ⟶ C ( g )

(b) 2 A ( g ) + 2 B ( g ) ⟶ 5 C ( g )

Antacids work to relieve stomach acids because of which of the following types of reactions?

Anastaziya [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which larger compound breaks down into two or more smaller compounds.

$AB\rightarrow A+B$

Double displacement reactions is defined as the chemical reaction in which exchange of ions takes place.

$AB+CD\rightarrow AD+CB$

Synthesis reaction is a type of reaction in which two or more smaller compounds combines to form a single large compound.

$A+B\rightarrow AB$

Single displacement reaction is a type of reaction in which a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its chemical reaction.

$A+BC\rightarrow AC+B$

In stomach, an acid is present known as hydrochloric acid and to neutralize its effect, antacid is taken which has $CaCO_$ as a component.

The reaction between HCl and $CaCO_3$ is a type of neutralization reaction and it is a type of double displacement reaction.

The equation between the two follows:

$CaCO_3+HCl\rightarrow CaCl_2+H_2O+CO_2$

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.

Wich are the disadvantages of skimming oil spills?

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Oil is sucked up through wide floating heads and pumped into storage tanks. Although suction skimmers are generally very efficient, one disadvantage is that they are vulnerable to becoming clogged by debris and ice and require constant skilled observation.
