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.

The density of the hydrocarbon in part (a) is 2.0 g l-1 at 50°c and 0.948atm. (i) calculate the molar mass of the hydrocarbon. (
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

1. Answer;

=56 g/mol

Explanation and solution;

PV = nRT

nRT= mass/molar mass (RT)

molar mass = (mass/V ) × (RT/P)

                   = Density × (RT/P)

Molar mass = 2.0 g/L × (0.0821 × 323 K)/0.948 atm

Molar mass = 56 g/mol


2. Answer;

Molecular mass is C4H8

Explanation;

Empirical mass × n = molar mass

Empirical mass for CH2 = 14 g/mol

Therefore;

56 g/mol = 14 g/mol × n

   n = 4

The molecular formula= 4(CH2)

    = C4H8

According to the website of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the average temperature of the universe is
charle [14.2K]

Answer : The temperature in degree Celsius is, -270.45^oC

Explanation :

The conversion used for the temperature from Kelvin to degree Celsius is:

^oC=K-273.15

where,

K = temperature in Kelvin

^oC = temperature in centigrade

As we are given the temperature in Kelvin is, 2.7

Now we have to determine the temperature in Kelvin.

^oC=K-273.15

^oC=2.7-273.15

^oC=-270.45

Therefore, the temperature in degree Celsius is, -270.45^oC
