Along with nicotine, cigarette smokers receive tars, phenols, hydrocarbons, arsenic, and many other chemicals. Which of the following is not an effect of smoking tobacco?

A

Narrowing or hardening of blood vessels in the heart and brain.

B

A higher frequency of respiratory infections (e.g., colds, pneumonia).

C

A higher risk of cancer, including cancer of the lungs, mouth, larynx, bladder and kidneys.

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Cigarette smoking has a lot of ill effects on body. Benzprene present in tobacco smoke causes lung and throat cancel. Cigratte smoking is a major CHD (coronayr heart disease) risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Tobacco smoke also irritates the mucous membrane of the throat and bronchi causing cough and bronchitis. It may breakdown the lung alveoli which reduces the surface for gas exchange.

The heavier members of 13 and 14 groups besides the group oxidation state also show another oxidation state. Down the group (darr) , the stability of higher oxidation state increases. This concept which is commonly called inert pair effect has been used to explain many physical and chemical properties of the element of these groups. Which of the following acts as the strongest acid ?

Hydrogen accounts for approximately 75% of the mass of the universe. Hydrogen serves as the nuclear fuel of our Sun and other stars, and these are mainly composed of hydrogen. On the earth, though hydrogen is rarely found in the uncombined state. Since the earth's gravity is too weak to hold such light molecules, nearly all the H_2 originally present in the earth's atmosphere has been lost to space. In the earth's crust and oceans, hydrogen is found in water, petroleum, proteins, carbohydrates and other compounds and it is the ninth most abundant element on a mass basis. Hydrogen has three isotopes : hydrogen or protium () , deuterium or heavy hydrogen (D or ), tritium (T or ) . The physical properties of the three isotopes are different due to the difference in their masses, i.e. isotope effect. The chemical properties of the three isotopes are similar as they have the same electronic configuration. Reaction between hydrogen and oxygen is highly exothermic, and gas mixtures that contain as little as 4% by volume hydrogen in oxygen (or in air) are highly flammable and potentially explosive. 2H_(2(g))+O_(2(g)), DeltaH^(ɵ)=-485 kJmol^(-1) As hydrogen is environmentally clean it is an enormously attractive fuel. 'Hydrogen economy' is an emerging field in which it is thought that our energy needs can be met by gaseous, liquid and solid hydrogen. As hydrogen is no a naturally occuring substance such as coal, oil or natural gas, energy must be exploaded to produce hydrogen before it can be used. Which of the following is radioactive in nature?
