The erupting geysers of nitrogen gas on Triton
A) are caused by a not yet determined internal energy source. B) can be viewed by the Hubble Space Telescope. C) produced the large liquid oceans. D) are increasing the moon's rotation rate. E) produced the frozen nitrogen surface.
During the volcanic eruption of Mt. Pelee in 1902, an incredibly hot "burning cloud" rolled down the mountain and incinerated the town of Saint-Pierre. From the damage done, the temperature in the cloud was estimated at 700°C. If the air temperature
was 20°C and a mole of air is 29 grams, estimate the molecular weight of the gas in the "burning cloud" that made it heavier than the surrounding air. (As a follow-on, estimate the most probable composition of the cloud. Some typical volcanic gases are H2S, SO2, H2SO4, CO2, NO.)
An RBE
A) is an effective dose of 1 Gy. B) is equivalent to 3.70 × 1010 decays/s in radium. C) is 10-2 J/kg. D) when multiplied into dosage, yields the effective dose. E) is an SI unit of absorbed dose = 1 J/kg = 100 rad.
