Cobalt-60 can make fruit flies infertile. justify the uses of above radioactive mentioned.

The uses of Cobalt-60 are described below.

Explanation:

Cobalt-60 is known to cause infertility in fruit flies but it is actively used in the health as well as industrial sectors.

In the health industry, Cobalt-60 is used for cancer radiography treatment. The radiography is generally done with Gamma Knife. This instrument works by generating a high dose of the Cobalt-60 radiation on the tumor area, protecting the other healthy tissues.

For industrial usage, The EPA has established a certain limit range for the uses of this man-made radioactive element.  It is used in the manufacturing industry to make steel. In the food industry, Cobalt-60 is used to prevent food spoilage as it kills microbes.

hello, i am papaguy.

i have found an answer to your question but use it as information.

information: because weak acids/bases have low concentration of hydrogen ions, the addition of water has a large impact on the ph. 2. a difference in 1 unit is a 10x difference in concentration for example; a liquid with ph of 3 is 10x more acidic than a liquid with a ph of 4. therefore, a liquid with a ph of 3 is stronger.

best of luck!
