How are rare earth elements important to our technological world?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Fynjy0 [20]3 years ago
4 0

Rare earth elements are a series of chemical elements found in the earth's crust and are vital to many of the modern technologies in the world such as computers and networks, advanced transportation and consumer electronics. They help fuel economic growth, maintain high living standards and even save lives. Examples include:

Scandium. Used in television and fluorescent lamps.

Yttrium. Used in cancer treatment drugs, superconductors and camera lenses

Lanthanum. Used to make special optical glasses,  telescope lenses and also in petroleum refining.

Neodymium. Used in making some of the strongest permanent magnets, found in most modern vehicles and aircraft.

Which statement best describes how her tissue are responding to he running​
bija089 [108]

Answer:

When Kristen is running and her breathing rate increases, the statement that best describes how her tissues are responding to her running is that they need more oxygen to function, so gas exchange needs to increase.

Explanation:

Options for this question are:

They need more oxygen to function, so gas exchange needs to decrease.

They need more oxygen to function, so gas exchange needs to increase.

They need more carbon dioxide to function, so gas exchange needs to increase.

They need more carbon dioxide to function, so gas exchange needs to decrease.

Physical activity in a person requires an adequate supply of nutrients and oxygen to the tissues, to ensure the production of energy in the form of ATP, obtained from cellular respiration.

A physical exercise implies an increase in the skeletal muscle's ATP demand, so both glucose and oxygen consumption will be higher, which implies an increase in breathing rate to increase lung gas exchange and oxygen bioavailability.

Re-order each list in the table below, if necessary, so that the atoms or ions in it are listed in order of decreasing size.
Serjik [45]

Answer: Na, S, Cl

Explanation:

Atomic size decreases as one moves from left to right on the periodic table with elements in the same period. This is as a result of the electrons increasing in the outer circle and thus being drawn to the protons in the nucleus which will lead to the outer shell area decreasing.

Sodium (Na) comes before Sulfur (S) which comes before Chlorine (S) so this is the decreasing order as they are all in the same period.

EastWind [94]
M_{Al}=26,98\frac{g}{mol}\\

M_{NaOH}=39,4\frac{g}{mol}\\

A) Al

B)
