It might cause harmful changes in the serum phosphorus and other electrolytes. So, Refeeding syndrome so dangerous.

<h3>What is serum phosphorus?</h3>
  • The serum phosphorus test quantifies the phosphate levels in the blood.
  • A vein, typically on the back of the hand or the inside of the elbow, is used to draw blood.
  • When hypoparathyroidism, parathyroid gland does not produce enough parathyroid hormone.
  • Body contains too much vitamin D.
  • A diet that is too high in phosphorus.
  • Although the terms "phosphorus" and "phosphate" are sometimes used interchangeably when discussing tests.
  • A serum phosphorus/phosphate test actually measures the amount of inorganic phosphate in the blood.
  • Phosphates are essential for the synthesis of energy, the health of muscles and nerves, and the development of bones.
  • Although serum inorganic phosphate only represents a very small portion of the body's total phosphorus, it is easily quantifiable and provides information on the body's phosphorus reserves.
  • Phosphate is mostly found in the body in an organic form as a compound with lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates.

If 1/8 remains after 21 years, what is the half-life?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Half life formula

The number of unstable nuclei remaining after time t can be determined according to this equation:

N(t) = N(0) * 0.5^(t/T)

where:

N(t) is the remaining quantity of a substance after time t has elapsed.

N(0) is the initial quantity of this substance.

T is the half-life.

It is also possible to determine the remaining quantity of a substance using a few other parameters:

N(t) = N(0) * e^(-t/τ)

N(t) = N(0) * e^(-λt)

τ is the mean lifetime - the average amount of time a nucleus remains intact.

λ is the decay constant (rate of decay).

All three of the parameters characterizing a substance's radioactivity are related in the following way:

T = ln(2)/λ = ln(2)*τ

How to calculate the half life

Determine the initial amount of a substance. For example, N(0) = 2.5 kg.

Determine the final amount of a substance - for instance, N(t) = 2.1 kg.

Measure how long it took for that amount of material to decay. In our experiment, we observed that it took 5 minutes.

Input these values into our half life calculator. It will compute a result for you instantaneously - in this case, the half life is equal to 19.88 minutes.

If you are not certain that our calculator returned the correct result, you can always check it using the half life formula.

"an average human has a heart rate of 70 beats per minute. if someone's heart beats at that average rate over a 70-yr lifetime,
olya-2409 [2.1K]
Given that an average human has a heart rate of 70 beats per minute and if one is to have a 70 year life span, the number of times it will beat is 2,575,440,000 times. This was computed by multiply 70 years by 365 days/year x 24 hours/day x 60 minutes/hour x 70 beats/min. Thus, the heart will beat numerous times before it finally stops.
