How does the skin protect your internal organs from the outside world?

Chemistry

Your skin protects your internal organs in so many different ways. I will name a few for you! :)

Protects from damage - Your skin protects your internal organs from damage such as cuts and bruising. Our skin is not incredibly strong, but it does make a huge difference compared to our organs being bare.

Protects from bacteria - Your skin blocks most bacteria from directly having contact with your internal organs. Most people get sick because bacteria is let into contact with internal organs through our mouths, noses, etc. Our skin does not let bacteria in. 

Keeps internal organs warm - Skin is not fur, it does not provide significant resistance to cold. However, it does make a big difference compared to bare organs. It protects our internal organs from heat by sweating, as well as cold by preventing too much cold from reaching our organs.

I hope this helped. Have a great day!

2. In Experiment SOL, you investigated the solubility of oxalic acid. Sodium oxalate, Na2C2O¬4, is the sodium salt of this acid.
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Sodium oxalate is a basic salt. In water it can be dissolved and dissociated.

The oxalic acid in water has two dissociations.

Explanation:

Na2C2O4 ---> 2Na+   +  C2O4-2

Sodium oxalate is the conjugate base of a weak acid. In water this salt, dissociates completely giving rise to the sodium and oxalate ions. As Na+ comes from a strong base, in water it does not produce hydrolysis while oxalate does react in water, because it takes a proton from it and it generates a basic hydrolysis releasing OH-.

C2O4-2  + H2O ⇄  HC2O4-  +  OH-

In water the salt is basic.  The pH of an aqueous solution of this salt is basic, since OH- is generated.

The HC2O4- has a second hydrolisis, it takes another proton from water to form oxalic acid.

HC2O4-  +  H2O ⇄  H2C2O4  +  OH-

The oxalic acid acts as a weak acid, it can release 2 protons to water, to make oxalate (its conjugate base).

H2C2O4  + H2O ⇄ H3O+  + HC2O4-

HC2O4-  +  H2O ⇄  H3O+  C2O4-2

The  HC2O4-  acts as an ampholyte since it accepts and delivers protons simultaneously.

A balloon is filled with 2.00 L of helium gas at sea level, 1.00 atm and 12.0ºC. The balloon is released and it rises to an alti
pshichka [43]

Answer:

THE VOLUME OF THE BALLOON IS 1.45 L

Explanation:

At sea level:

Volume = 2 L

Pressure = 1 atm

Temperature = 12 °C

At 30000 ft altitude:

Pressure = 0.30 atm

Temperature = -55°C

Volume = unknown

Using the general gas formula:

P1 V1 / T1 = P2 V2 / T2

Re-arranging the formula by making V2 the subject of the equation, we have;

V2 = P1 V1 T2 / T1 P2

V2 = 1 * 2 * 12 / 0.30 * 55

V2 = 24 / 16.5

V2 = 1.45 L

The volume of the balloon at the temperature of -55 C and 0.30 atm is 1.45 L
