Answer:

The use of phenol (carbolic acid) as a wound disinfectant was first practiced by Lister. The correct option is E

Explanation:

Phenol( carbolic acid) is an aromatic organic compound. It has the following properties:

- it's soluble in water

- it's a weak acid and

- highly reactive toward electrophilic aromatic substitution

In Medical field, phenol was first used as an antiseptic by Joseph Lister.Joseph Lister was a student at University College London under Robert Liston, later rising to the rank of Surgeon at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. He believed that patients who passed through surgery, died due to infections caused by microorganisms.He theorized that if germs could be killed or prevented, no infection would occur. Lister reasoned that a chemical could be used to destroy the micro-organisms that cause infection. He made use of the carbolic acid by soaking a clean cloth in them, and placing it over the surgical wounds of patients.

How do you use pedigrees to determine and explain the inheritance of traits?
Firdavs [7]
We know that organisms inherit their traits from their parents, and these traits are a combination of the traits their parents possessed. Therefore, by using a pedigree to map the ancestry of an organism, we may evaluate the propagation of a specific trait through the organism's family. An example of this is when people are assessed for the risk of diseases like breast cancer and sickle cell anemia.

Americium-241 is used in smoke detectors. it has a first order rate constant for radioactive decay of k=1.6×10−3yr−1. by contras
Helga [31]
This question is missing the part that actually asks the question. The questions that are asked are as follows:

(a) How much of a 1.00 mg sample of americium remains after 4 day? Express your answer using 2 significant figures.

(b) How much of a 1.00 mg sample of iodine remains after 4 days? Express your answer using 3 significant figures.

We can use the equation for a first order rate law to find the amount of material remaining after 4 days:

[A] = [A]₀e^(-kt)

[A]₀ = initial amount
k = rate constant
t = time
[A] = amount of material at time, t.

(a) For americium we begin with 1.00 mg of sample and must convert time to units of years, as our rate constant, k, is in units of yr⁻¹.

4 days x 1 year/365 days = 0.0110

A = (1.00)e^((-1.6x10^-3)(0.0110))
A = 1.0 mg

The decay of americium is so slow that no noticeable change occurs over 4 days.

(b) We can simply plug in the information of iodine-125 and solve for A:

A = (1.00)e^(-0.011 x 4)
A = 0.957 mg

Iodine-125 decays at a much faster rate than americium and after 4 days there will be a significant loss of mass.

Carbon has a neutral overall charge, an atomic mass of about 12 and an atomic number of 6. How many electrons does carbon have?
Artist 52 [7]
For the atom to be neutral, it must have the same number of electrons and protons. The aromic number indicates the number of protons. Since Carbon has 6 protons, it would have to have 6 electrons for it to be neutral
