Is Phosphorus 32 Harmful? Phosphorus-32 is an energetic beta emitter which can penetrate up to 0.8 cm into living skin tissue. Therefore, this isotope poses an external (skin) dose hazard to persons as well as a potential internal hazard. What type of radioactive decay does phosphorus-32 go through? Phosphorus-32 is a commonly used radionuclide with […]

Does car battery charge while in park? Yes, the alternator does charge the battery while the car is idling – regardless of the load on the battery. However, if your electrical use load (radio, lights, fan, etc) exceeds the amount of charge the battery is receiving from the alternator, you will end up with a […]

What happens when zinc reacts with HCl? When zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid it produces zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. Is Zn and HCl a chemical reaction? When zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid, the reaction bubbles vigorously as hydrogen gas is produced. The production of a gas is also an indication that a chemical reaction […]

What is the order of structures that oxygen passes through? Air then travels down the pharynx and larynx, through the trachea, and into the lungs. In the lungs, air passes through the branching bronchi, reaching the respiratory bronchioles. The respiratory bronchioles open up into the alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs, and alveoli. What is the pathway […]

What are the limitations of Einstein theory of specific heat? The correct statement is that Einstein’s law fails to account for the low temperature behavior of specific heat of solids, even qualitatively, but at high temperature it goes to the Dulong and Petit law limit, which is an accurate description of the specific heat of […]

What is an example of priming? Priming occurs whenever exposure to one thing can later alter behavior or thoughts. For example, if a child sees a bag of candy next to a red bench, they might begin looking for or thinking about candy the next time they see a bench. Several schools of thought in […]

Is 300 watts enough for a subwoofer? An aftermarket receiver — you might want 200 to 300 watts RMS of power. Amplified speakers with around 50 watts RMS per channel — 250 to 500 watts RMS is a good starting point. A system with 100 watts RMS per channel — having at least 1,000 watts […]

Why does my heating work upstairs but not downstairs? Because heat rises this warm area is likely to be the radiators upstairs in a house, or if you live in a flat it would most likely to be the radiator/s nearest the boiler or hot water tank. If your radiators are hot upstairs and cold […]

What is broaching in machining? Broaching is a machining process using a cutting tool with teeth that increase in size from front to back. In many cases, an entire surface (or multiple surfaces) can be finished in a single pass with broaching. The technique is most often applied to finish holes, splines and flat surfaces. […]

Is Bacteria living or nonliving? Bacteria (singular: bacterium) are a major group of living organisms. Most are microscopic and unicellular, with a relatively simple cell structure lacking a cell nucleus, and organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts. Bacteria are the most abundant of all organisms. Do antibiotics weaken immune system? Will antibiotics weaken my immune […]
