Answer:

O B. The diaphragm contracts and flattens.

Explanation:

The diaphragm is a skeletal striated muscle that separates the abdominal cavity from the thoracic cavity, has a dome shape and plays a key role in breathing.  Locate near the lumbar vertebrae, the lower ribs and the sternum and can be divided according to its location into three parts: sternal, costal and lumbar.

During inhalation, the diaphragm contracts and flattens, reducing the pressure inside the chest and compressing the viscera of the abdomen, which facilitates the entry of air into the lungs.

At the expiration, the inverse process occurs: it relaxes and rises, increasing the pressure inside the chest and expelling air from the lungs.

Answer is B.

As the diaphragm contracts and flattens, it increases the volume of the thorax where the lungs are located. This results in a decrease in pressure (Boyle’s Law, if you know it) that creates a pressure gradient from outside to inside. This is what causes air to move into the lungs.

How many grams of oxygen gas occupy 12.3 L of space at 109.4 kPa and 15.4oC?
I am Lyosha [343]

17.93 grams of oxygen gas occupy 12.3L of space at 109.4 kPa and 15.4°C. Details about how to calculate mass can be found below.

<h3>How to calculate mass?</h3>

The mass of a given gas can be calculated by multiplying the number of moles of the substance by its molar mass.

However, the number of moles of the gas must be calculated first as follows:

PV = nRT

Where;

  • P = pressure = 1.0796941atm
  • V = volume = 12.3L
  • n = number of moles
  • T = temperature = 288.4K
  • R = gas law constant = 0.0821 Latm/molK

1.079 × 12.3 = n × 0.0821 × 288.4

13.27 = 23.68n

n = 13.27/23.68

n = 0.56mol

Mass = 0.56 × 32

mass of oxygen gas = 17.93g

Therefore, 17.93 grams of oxygen gas occupy 12.3L of space at 109.4 kPa and 15.4°C.

How and why do ionic bonds form?
babymother [125]
Ionic bonds are formed when one of the two atoms that are reacting has excess electrons and transfer the electrons to the atom that is deficient in electrons. During the formation of the ionic bond, one of the reacting atoms will donate electrons and form positive ion.
