28. Which statement is INCORRECT regarding radiation?
a. Thicker materials offer better shielding against radiation
b. Gamma radiation is the only type that can cause health effects
c. Traveling further away from a source of radiation reduces your exposure
d. Each type of radiation can be detected by a device called a Geiger counter

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Radiation is energy. It can come from unstable atoms that undergo radioactive decay, or it can be produced by machines. Radiation travels from its source in the form of energy waves or energized particles. There are different forms of radiation and they have different properties and effects.

Non-Ionizing and Ionizing Radiation

There are two kinds of radiation: non-ionizing radiation and ionizing radiation.

Non-ionizing radiation has enough energy to move atoms in a molecule around or cause them to vibrate, but not enough to remove electrons from atoms. Examples of this kind of radiation are radio waves, visible light and microwaves.

Ionizing radiation has so much energy it can knock electrons out of atoms, a process known as ionization. Ionizing radiation can affect the atoms in living things, so it poses a health risk by damaging tissue and DNA in genes. Ionizing radiation comes from x-ray machines, cosmic particles from outer space and radioactive elements. Radioactive elements emit ionizing radiation as their atoms undergo radioactive decay.

1. What volume, will be occupied by 3.86 g of C2H2 gas (acetylene) at 2.50 atm and a temperature
of 28.5 °C?
2. A gas at 650.0 torr and 75 °C is cooled to 25 °C. What is the pressure of the gas after it has
cooled?

Answers

Answer:

1. V = 1.47L

Explanation:

1) Using PV = nRT

Where;

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (L)

R = gas constant (0.0821 Latmk mol)

n = number of moles

T = temperature (K)

To get number of moles, we say mole = mass/molar mass

Molar Mass of C2H2 = 12(2) + 1(2)

= 24 + 2 = 26g/mol

mole = 3.86/26

mole = 0.148mol

T (K) = 28.5°C + 273.15

T(K) = 301.65K

PV = nRT

2.5 × V = 0.148 × 0.0821 × 301.65

2.5V = 3.665

V = 3.665/2.5

V = 1.466

V = 1.47L

R =

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

In the section A,B

C triple bond O has a higher bond energy. A triple bond is shorter and more difficult to break hence they have a higher bond energy.

For the same reason in the C,D section; C triple bond N has a higher bond energy.

In the next section, the higher the bond order the shorter the bond. Hence C triple bond C is the shortest in the A,B section while C triple bond O is the shortest in the C,D section. Both have a bond order of 3.

In the A,B section; I is larger than Br hence H-Br has the shortest bond length.

In the C,D section; Br is larger than Cl hence P-Cl has the shortest bond length.

mass of 250 kg and it is accelerating down the aisle at 0.20 m/s? How much force are you exerting?

Answers

Answer:

F = 50 N

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of car = 250 Kg

Acceleration of car = 0.20 m/s²

Force required = ?

Solution:

Formula:

F = m×a

F = applied  force

m = mass

a = acceleration

Now we will put the values in formula.

F =  250 Kg × 0.20 m/s²

F = 50 Kg.m/s²

Kg.m/s² = N

F = 50 N

b

c
the exact or absolute age of rock layers
d
a and b are correct

Answers

Answer:

d . a and b are correct

Explanation:

The law of superposition allows us to determine the age of rock layers and also that of the fossils within them.

The law of superposition states that "in an undeformed sequence of strata, the oldest rock layer is at the bottom and the youngest is on top".

Using this law, geochronologists can determine the relative ages of rock layers. The youngest layer will be found on top. The oldest at the bottom of the sequence. The arrangement of the layers and the fossils there in can also tell us about the ages of the fossils themselves.

2.911 grams of ethanol C2H5OH is burned and produces how many grams of water vapor?
Please help me or I'm dead.

Answers

Answer:

3.4g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of ethanol  = 2.911g

Unknown:

Mass of water vapor = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, let us write the balanced reaction equation first;

             C₂H₅OH  + 3O₂  → 2CO₂  + 3H₂O

Now find the number of moles of ethanol;

  Number of moles  = [tex]\frac{mass}{molar mass}[/tex]

    Molar mass of ethanol = 2(12) + 5(1) + 16 + 1 = 46g/mol

  Number of moles  = [tex]\frac{2.911}{46}[/tex]   = 0.06mole

  So;

       1 mole of ethanol will produce 3 moles of water vapor

      0.06mole of ethanol will produce 0.06 x 3  = 0.19moles of water vapor

 Mass of water vapor  = number of moles x molar mass

   Molar mass of H₂O  = 2(1) + 16  = 18g/mol

  Mass of water vapor  = 0.19 x 18  = 3.4g

D. Limited resources cause some offspring to survive longer than others,​

Answers

Answer:

B. Sexual reproduction results in offspring that each have a unique set of genes.

Explanation:

New genetic variation arises in a species as a result of sexual reproduction which results in offspring having a unique set of genes.

Genetic variation is the differences in the genetic make up of organisms within a population. During sexual reproduction, there is an exchange of materials between sexes and the new combination produces a varied form of the original genetic materials. The main source of genetic variation is mutation.

What would happen if we couldn't carry respiration out?

Answers

Answer:

There would be no energy for cellular activities

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the process whereby living organisms breakdown ingested food in their cells in order to obtain energy in form of ATP. In other words, respiration converts the stores energy in food molecules into usable energy by the cell. The general equation of the process is as follows:

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O

The process of cellular respiration is carried out by every living organism in order to obtain energy to perform their various metabolic activities. Hence, without RESPIRATION, there would be no energy (ATP) for use by the cell, which utterly means no cellular activities will take place.
