A person's heartbeat is 73 beats per minute. If his heart beats 3.1e9 times in a lifetime, how long does the person live?

tiny-mole [99]

Answer: The person lived for 80.66 years.

Explanation:

Heart beat of the person = 73 beat /min

Number of total heart beats = $3.1\times 10^{9}$

Life span of the person : $\frac{\text{Total heart beats of the person}}{\text{Heart beat per minute}}=\frac{3.1\times 10^{9} beats}{73 beat/min}$

1 year =525600 mins

Life span = $0.0424\times 10^{9} min=80.66 years$

The person lived for 80.66 years.

A field worker is exposed to a xylene for a duration of 8 weeks at 40 hrs/wk. The concentration of xylene in the workplace is 40

Andrej [43]

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 = $40 hr/week\times 8 week = 320 hours$

The concentration of xylene in the workplace = $40 \mu g/m^3$

The worker is inhaling air at a rate of $0.9 m^3/hr$ .

Amount xylene inhaled by worker in an hour :

= $40\mu g/m^3\times 0.9 m^3/hr=36 \mu g/hr$

Amount xylene inhaled by worker in 320 hours:

$36 \mu g/hr\times 320 hr=11,520 \mu g=11,520\times 0.001 mg=11.520 mg$

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:

$\frac{24}{320}\times 11.520 mg=0.864 mg$

Assuming 70 kg body mass, the chronic daily intake of xylene :

$\frac{0.864 mg/day}{70 kg}=0.01234 mg/ kg day\approx 0.012 mg/ kg day$

The chronic daily intake during the period of exposure is most nearly 0.012 mg/kg day.

One of relatively few reactions that takes place directly between two solids at room temperature is <img src="https://tex.z-dn.n

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

a) Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O(s) + 2 NH₄SCN(s) → Ba(SCN)₂(s) +10 H₂O(l) + 2 NH₃(g)

b) 3.14g must be added

Explanation:

a) For the reaction:

Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O(s) + NH₄SCN(s) → Ba(SCN)₂(s) + H₂O(l) + NH₃(g)

As you see, there are 8 moles of water in reactants and 2 moles of oxygen in octahydrate, thus, water moles must be 10:

Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O(s) + NH₄SCN(s) → Ba(SCN)₂(s) +10 H₂O(l) + NH₃(g)

To balance hydrogens, the other coefficients are:

Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O(s) + 2 NH₄SCN(s) → Ba(SCN)₂(s) +10 H₂O(l) + 2 NH₃(g)

b) As you see in the balanced reaction, 1 mole of barium hydroxide octahydrate reacts with 2 moles of NH₄SCN. 6.5g of Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O are:

6.5 g × (1mol / 315.48g) = 0.0206moles of Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O. Thus, moles of NH₄SCN that must be used for a complete reaction are:

0.0206moles of Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O × ( 2 mol NH₄SCN / 1 mol Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O) = 0.0412moles of NH₄SCN. In grams:

0.0412moles of NH₄SCN × ( 76.12g / 1mol) = 3.14g must be added
