Answer:

If it loses to electrons the net charge will be +2. If the atom instead gains 4 electrons, the net charge will be -4.

Explanation: When an atom loses electrons( which are negatively charged), it turns into a cation. This means since there is more protons(which are positively charged) than electrons, the charge is positive. The charge is positive and than the number of electrons lost. It is the exact opposite for gaining electrons.

The half life of a certain radioactive element is 800 years. How old is an object if only 12.5% of radioactive atoms in it remai
Levart [38]

Given,  half life of a certain radioactive element = 800 years.

Amount of substance remaining at time t = 12.5%

Lets consider the initial amount of the radioactive substance  = 100%

Using the half life equation:

A = A₀(1/2)^t/t₁/₂

where A₀ is the amount of radioactive substance at time zero and A is the amount of radioactive substance at time t, and t₁/₂ is the half-life of the radioactive substance.

Plugging the given data into the half life equation we have,

12.5 = 100 . (1/2)^t/800

12.5/100 = (1/2)^t/800

0.125 = (0.5)^t/800

(0.5)^3 = (0.5)^t/800

3 = t/800

t = 2400 years

Thus the object is 2400 years  old.

How many grams of water in 8.22 grams of cuso4*5h2o?
S_A_V [24]
Molar mass of CuSO4 * 5 H2O 
= 63.546 + 32 + 16*4 + 5*18 
= 249.546 g/mol
 Mass of water in that formula: 5 * 18 = 90 g/mol
Percent by mass of water = 90 / 249.546 = 36%
<span>So, 36% of your 8.22 g is water. 0.36 * 8.22= 2.95 g of water

What process removes carbon dioxide from the ocean?
Katen [24]

Answer:

B. decay of dead marine organisms

Explanation:

When the temperature is low, carbon dioxide is captured by the oceans, and when the temperature is high, it is released by the oceans into the atmosphere. At sea, carbon dioxide feeds phytoplankton.

Most of the carbon dioxide consumed by plant plankton (phytoplankton) returns to the atmosphere when this phytoplankton dies or is consumed, but a portion is deposited in the ocean floor sediments when these small particles sink. This process is called a "biological bomb" because carbon dioxide is transported from the atmosphere to the ocean floor.

The average adult male has a total blood volume of 5.0 L. After drinking a few beers, he has a BAC of 0.10. What mass of alcohol
stellarik [79]
  B A C ( Blood Alcohol Content ) of 0.10 means that there are 0.10 g of alcohol for every  dl  of blood.
  5 L = 50 dl
  50 * 0.10 g = 5 g
  In his blood is circulating 5 grams of alcohol.

How do high levels of alkaline phosphatase indicate a bone abnormality
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Bones make an isoenzyme called alkaline phosphatase-2 or (ALP-2). Levels of this enzyme increase when bones are growing or bone cells are active. An alkaline phosphatase bone isoenzyme test can indicate abnormal levels of bone growth that may be associated with conditions such as: Paget's disease of bone.

Explanation:

ALP (alkaline phosphatase) is an enzyme found in your bloodstream. It helps break down proteins in the body and exists in different forms, depending on where it originates.

The bones and liver are the main sources of ALP, but some is also made in your bones, intestines, pancreas, and kidneys. In pregnant women, ALP is made in the placenta.

The ALP test can be helpful in the diagnosis of bone problems such as: rickets, a weakening or softening of the bones in children that’s most commonly due to a significant deficiency of vitamin D or calcium osteomalacia, a softening of the bones in adults usually due to significant vitamin D deficiency, but also possibly due to the body’s inability to process and use vitamin D properly.

Paget’s disease of the bone, a disorder causing major problems with bone destruction and regrowth

An alkaline phosphatase level test (ALP test) measures the amount of alkaline phosphatase enzyme in your bloodstream. The test requires a simple blood draw and is often a routine part of other blood tests.

Abnormal levels of ALP in the blood most often indicate a problem with your liver, gallbladder, or bones. However, they may also indicate malnutrition, kidney cancer tumors, intestinal issues, a pancreas problem, or a serious infection.

The normal range of ALP varies from person to person and depends on ones age, blood type, gender, and pregnancy.

The normal range for serum ALP level is 20 to 140 IU/L.

The normal range runs higher in children and decreases with age.
