If a person’s circulatory system does not function well, how might thermoregulation in his or her body be affected?

The hypothalamus detects slightest changes in internal temperature as blood flows in the brain and send impulses to appropriate responding organs/tissues to bring it back to normal level. These organs include the skin, liver and muscles.

Parts of skin involved in thermoregulation are the sweat glands,as temperature increases sweat glands are stimulated to release sweat. As the water in sweat evaporates,it absorbs heat from the body ( latent heat of vaporization) through radiation and convectional current. When the body temperature decreases, the blood vessels in the skin constricts( vasoconstriction). This reduces blood flow to the skin hence less heat is lost to the internal environment.

Metabolic activities of the liver and muscles increase to raise heat production when the body temperature is low

Cooking a cheeseburger physical or chemical
statuscvo [17]
 <span>Haha... I guess it depends on how well you cook. If you're a terrible cook and your food catches fire, thats chemical change. Because the compounds in whatever food you're cooking becomes oxidized by O2, meaning it changes to a new compound. 

If you're a decent cook and nothing catches fire, then it is only physical change, there are no reactions, just change of state.</span>

2. Mercury (II) oxide decomposes into mercury and oxygen gas according to the following
bija089 [108]

Answer:

7.8 moles are needed.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of oxygen produced = 125 g

Number of moles of mercury oxide needed = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation;

2HgO → 2Hg + O₂

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 125 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 3.9 mol

Now we will compare the moles of oxygen with mercury oxide.

                       O₂         :         HgO

                        1           :             2

                     3.9          :              2×3.9 = 7.8 mol
