Answer: a. Carbon monoxide

Explanation:

The carbon monoxide gas competes with the oxygen in the blood to occupy the binding affinity of the hemoglobin thus the blood changes it's color to cherry red.

In postmortem lividity, the body becomes discolored due to the effect of flow of blood from the interstitial tissues and suspended under the force of gravity. This can be seen on the dependent parts of the body and the position of body after death. The color of the postmortem lividity depends on the color of the hemoglobin.

In case of carbon monoxide poisoning the color of postmortem lividity appears to be cherry red as color of the hemoglobin is cherry red. Thus cherry red or dark pinkish patches appear in the corpse as lividity.

In the combined gas law, if the volume is decreased, what happens to the temperature if pressure remains constant?
Flura [38]

The correct answer is A. In the combined gas law, if the volume is decreased and the pressure is constant, then the temperature decreases.

 <span>P1V1/ T1 = P2V2 / T2</span>

 <span>Assume the volume decrease by half; V2 = V1/2</span>

 <span>P1V1/ T1 = P2V1 /2 T2</span>

 <span>Cancelling terms,</span>

 <span>1/T1 = 1/2 T2</span>

T2 = T1/2

 <span>Thus, the temperature decreased.</span>

What mass of K2SO4 would you measure out to prepare 550 ml of a 0.76 M solution
Nikolay [14]
The molecular weight of K2SO4 is 174.26 g/mole. The mass of K2SO4 required to make this solution is calculated in the following way. 
550mL * (0.76mole/1000mL) * (174.26g/mole) = 72.84gram

C9H20 +<br> 02 - &gt; CO2 +<br> H2O<br><br> what is the balanced equation of this
san4es73 [151]

Hey there!

C₉H₂O + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

First let's balance the C.

There's 9 on the left and 1 on the right. So, let's add a coefficient of 9 in front of CO₂.

C₉H₂O + O₂ → 9CO₂ + H₂O

Next let's balance the H.

There's 2 on the left and 2 on the right. This means it's already balanced.

C₉H₂O + O₂ → 9CO₂ + H₂O

Lastly, let's balance the O.

There's 3 on the left and 19 on the right. So, let's add a coefficient of 9 in front of O₂.

C₉H₂O + 9O₂ → 9CO₂ + H₂O

This is our final balanced equation.

Hope this helps!
