Explain why the lack of surfactant would result in respiratory distress. Furthermore, what type of acid-base disorder might she

algol13

Answer:

Due to lack of expansion of lungs.

Explanation:

The lack of surfactant compound would result in respiratory distress because Surfactant enables the lungs to expand more easily which allows easiness in respiration. Without surfactant, the air sacs in the lungs will collapse very easily. This collapse leads to decreased amounts of air or oxygen in the lungs which makes it very difficult for the people or infant to breathe.

many radioactive atoms that have large masses undergo radioactive decay by releasing a particle that is identical to a helium-4

igomit [66]

The answer is the atomic number and the mass number will decrease.

When atoms undergo radioactive decay, alpha particles release.

Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons. So, mass is 4 (2+2) amu $^{4} _2 \alpha$ .
When an atom of emits an alpha particle, its atomic number will be reduced by 2 and a mass number will be reduced by 4:

$^{A}_ZX$ → $^{A-4}_{Z-2}X$ + $^{4}_{2} \alpha$
