Answer:
The chronic daily intake during the period of exposure is most nearly 0.012 mg/kg day.
Explanation:
Number of hours worker exposed to xylene = 
The concentration of xylene in the workplace =
The worker is inhaling air at a rate of 
.
Amount xylene inhaled by worker in an hour :
= 
Amount xylene inhaled by worker in 320 hours:
1 μg = 0.001 mg
Amount xylene inhaled by worker in 320 hours = 11.520 mg
1 day = 24 hours
Amount xylene inhaled by worker in 1 day:
Assuming 70 kg body mass, the chronic daily intake of xylene :
The chronic daily intake during the period of exposure is most nearly 0.012 mg/kg day.
To find this, we will use this formula:
Molar mass of element
------------------------------------ x 100
Molar mass of compound
So, first lets calculate the mass of the compound as a whole. We use the atomic masses on the periodic table to determine this.
Ca: 40.078 g/mol
N2 (there is two nitrogens): 28.014 g/mol
O6 (there are six nitrogens: 3 times 2): 95.994 g/mol
When we add all of those numbers up together, we get 164.086. That is the molar mass for the whole compound. However, we are trying to figure out what percent of the compound oxygen makes up. From the molar mass, we know that 95.994 of the 164.086 is oxygen. Lets plug those numbers into our equation!
95.994
-----------
164.086
When we divide those two numbers, we get .585. When we multiply that by 100, we get 58.5.
So, the percent compostition of oxygen in Ca(NO3)2, or, calcium nitrate, is 58.5%.
Glycolysis--The breakdown of a glucose molecule into two three-carbon pieces called pyruvate. You will notice that very little ATP is produced in this step and no oxygen is required. ... This step is also where other molecules besides glucose may be fed into the cell respiration<span> process, especially lipids.</span>
<span>The solute is the substance that is being dissolved while the solvent is the base that the solute is bring dissolved in. For example, in salt water, salt would be the solute that dissolves into the water, and the water is the solvent that the salt is being dissolved in.</span>
