Atoms are considered the smallest particles of an element because they are the basic unit. They cannot be broken down into any smaller substance.

They are considered the smallest part of an element because when you break down an element into smaller and smaller parts, theoretically when you reach thed smallest part and you cant break it any more, it will be one atom of whatever element you are breaking down.

A vacuum gage connected to a chamber reads 35 kpa at a location where the atmospheric pressure is 92 kpa. determine the absolute
stealth61 [152]

Vacuum gage connected to a chamber reads 35 kpa at a location where the atmospheric pressure is 92 kpa then the  absolute pressure in the chamber and express is 57kpa

Gauge pressure is the pressure relative to atmospheric pressure. Gauge pressure is positive for pressures above atmospheric pressure, and negative for pressures and absolute pressure is the sum of gauge pressure and atmospheric pressure

Here to find absolute pressure atmospheric pressure=92kpa and  vacuum gage=35 kpa                                      

Pabsolute pressure=Patmospehric pressure - Pvaccume

92-35=57kpa

Name two hormones produced by the endocrine system and describe how they work with other organ systems to maintain homeostasis
Annette [7]
The 2 hormones are insulin & glucagon.

A hormone will only act on a part of the body it 'fits'. A hormone can be thought of as a key, and its target site ( i.e an organ) has specially shaped locks on the cell walls. 
If the hormone fits, then it will work.

The hormone can set off a cascade of other singling pathways in the cell to cause an immediate effect ( for instance, insulin signaling leads to a rapid uptake of glucose in muscle cells)

The endocrine system is a tightly regulated system that keeps the hormones and their effects at just the right level. One way this is achieved is through ' feedback loops'. The release of hormones is regulated by other hormones, proteins or neuronal signals.

The released hormone then has its effect on other organs. This effect on the organ feeds back to the original signal to control any further hormone release.

A sample of 5.72 g of liquid 1-propanol, C, H, O, is combustod with 43.4 g of oxygen gas, Carbon dioxide and water are
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

2C3H8O + 9O2 ==> 6CO2 + 8H2O ... balanced equation

moles propanol = 5.26 g x 1 mol/60.1 g = 0.0875 moles

moles O2 = 31.8 g x 1 mol/31.9 g = 0.997 moles O2

Propanol is limiting based on the mol ratio in balance equation of 2 : 9

To find mass of O2 (excess reagent) left over, we will first find moles O2 used up.

moles O2 used = 0.0875 mol propanol x 9 mol O2/2 mol propanol = 0.394 moles O2 used

moles O2 left over = 0.997 mol - 0.394 mol = 0.603 mol O2 left

mass O2 left = 0.603 mol O2 x 32 g/mol = 19.3 g O2 left over
