How do scientists prevent the nonpolar perfluorocarbons

Scientists prevent the nonpolar perfluorocarbons

in Oxygent from separating from the water by adding surfactant.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The  collection of oxygen from lungs and transporting it  all those tissues present in the human body and taking carbon dioxide back to lungs are the main functions of the hemoglobin. But, instead of this hemoglobin, When perfluorocarbons , a nonpolar chemical is used to perform the same function for the oxygen transportation, the nonpolar chemical may not mix well with the water when this perfluorocarbons is taken through a water-based saline .

For this purpose an addition of a chemical called surfactant is done. This will enhance the chemical bonding between the non polar chemical and water. The perfluorocarbons  spreads into some droplets and gets coated with this bonding substance. Thus it gets attached to the water.

Answer:

cools as it rises, then sinks back down

Explanation:

The movement of air is a convection current. Convection currents occur when warm air rises, cools down, and sinks due to gained density, replacing the warm air closer to the ground, creating a cycle.

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

  • <u>0.665 mol of O₂.</u>

Explanation:

<u>1. Molecular chemical equation:</u>

  • 2 KClO₃(s) → 2 KCl(s) + 3 O₂(g)

<u>2. Mole ratios:</u>

  • 2 mol KClO₃ : 2 mol KCl : 3 mol O₂

<u>3. Number of moles of KClO₃</u>

  • Number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

  • Molar mass of KClO₃ = 122.55 g/mol

  • Number of moles of KClO₃ = 54.3 g / 122.5 g/mol ≈ 0.44308 mol

<u>3. Number of moles of O₂</u>

As per the theoretical mole ratio 2 mol of KClO₃ produce 3 mol of O₂, then set up a proportion to determine how many  moles of O₂ will be produced from 0.44038 mol of KClO₃.

  • 3 mol O₂ / 2 mol KClO₃ = x / 0.44038 mol KClO₃

  • x = (3 / 2) × 0.44308 mol O₂ = 0.6646 mol O₂

Round to 3 significant figures: 0.665 mol of O₂ ← answer
