Answer:

$\large \boxed{\mathbf{1. \, \,55.26 \, \%; \, \,2. \, \,30.15 \, \% }}$

Explanation:

1. Mass percent of K

$\begin{array}{cccr}\mathbf{Atoms} & \textbf{Contribution} & & \textbf{Subtotal}\\\text{3K} & 3 \times 39.10 & = & 117.30\\\text{1P} & 1 \times 30.97 & = & 30.97\\\text{4O} & 4 \times 16.00 & = &64.00\\& \text{TOTAL} & = & \mathbf{212.27}\\\end{array}$

$\text{Percent K} = \dfrac{\text{117.30 g}}{\text{212.27 g}} \times \, 100\% = \mathbf{55.26 \, \%}\\\text{The percent by mass of potassium is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{55.26 \, \% }}$}$

2. Mass percent of O

$\text{Percent O} = \dfrac{\text{64.00 g}}{\text{212.27 g}} \times \, 100\% = \mathbf{30.15 \, \%}\\\text{The percent by mass of oxygen is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{30.15 \, \% }}$}$

Answer:hemoglobin that has a high affinity for oxygen

Explanation:

Haemoglobin is the oxygen carrying pigment in blood. It performs this function because of the presence of iron at the center of the haemoglobin which coordinates reversibly with oxygen thereby aiding delivery of oxygen to cells. At high altitudes where air is thinner and the partial pressure of oxygen is lower than sea level, haemoglobin must develop a greater affinity for oxygen in order to carry the scarce oxygen to cells.

The radioactive isotope of lead, Pb-209, decays at a rate proportional to the amount present at time t and has a half-life of 3.

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Therefore it will take 7.66 hours for 80% of the lead decay.

Explanation:

The differential equation for decay is

$\frac{dA}{dt}= kA$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dA}{A}=kdt$

Integrating both sides

ln A= kt+c₁

$\Rightarrow A= e^{kt+c_1}$

$\Rightarrow A=Ce^{kt}$ [ $e^{c_1}=C$ ]

The initial condition is A(0)= A₀,

$\therefore A_0=Ce^{0.k}$

$\Rightarrow C=A_0$

$\therefore A=A_0e^{kt}$ .........(1)

Given that the $Pb_{209}$ has half life of 3.3 hours.

For half life $A=\frac12 A_0$ putting this in equation (1)

$\frac12A_0=A_0e^{k\times3.3}$

$\Rightarrow ln(\frac12)= 3.3k$ [taking ln both sides, $ln \ e^a=a$ ]

$\Rightarrow k=\frac{ln \frac12}{3.3}$

⇒k= - 0.21

Now A₀= 1 gram, 80%=0.8

and A= (1-0.8)A₀ = (0.2×1) gram = 0.2 gram

Now putting the value of k,A and A₀in the equation (1)

$\therefore 0.2=1e^{(-0.21)\times t}$

$\Rightarrow e^{-0.21t}=0.2$

$\Rightarrow -0.21t= ln(0. 2)$

$\Rightarrow t= \frac{ln (0.2)}{-0.21}$

⇒ t≈7.66

Therefore it will take 7.66 hours for 80% of the lead decay.

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THIIS QUESTION

sdas [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 5 carbon compounds due to low to high intermolecular forces between their molecules.

Explanation:

Bottle C has gas in it and we know that alkane has carbon and hydrogen only which means they have a single sigma bond between them and very low intermolecular forces in between molecules and are present mostly at gaseous state. Thus, bottle C has alkane.

Alcohols have -OH group that can form rarely two pi bonds which means they have intermediate intermolecular force whereas acids have -cooH group with a high molecular force so bottle B with liquid is alcohol and A has acid.
