How do gas laws apply to breathing?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Tatiana [17]4 years ago
4 0

Boyle's Law states that: the Pressure of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to its volume, if its temperature is kept constant.

In the process of breathing-in, our chest grows slightly and the rib cage kindoff gains in size(and volume), and so the air inside our lungs occupy a larger space(volume).

This increase in volume causes the Pressure of the air inside our lungs to become smaller than the pressure outside( in the atmosphere around). So, air is pushed in due to the pressure difference that results.

When you breathe out, the reverse happens. Your rib cage(and lungs) contract and so the air in them has a smaller volume. And so, the pressure increases.

This time the pressure difference is towards the outside. And so, air is pushed out!

Which of the following statements apply to the general experimental procedure for determining the heat of reaction as described
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The following statements apply to the general experimental procedure for determining the heat of reaction:

A. Measurements of the temperature of the solution in the calorimeter should be taken at regular intervals for several minutes before the reactant is added.

B. The solution in the calorimeter should not be stirred during the experiment because stirring will slow the reaction

D. Temperature readings need to be taken at regular intervals after the highest temperature reading is observed to determine the rate of heat loss from the calorimeter.

Kat is investigating a compound and sees that it has even stronger hydrogen bonds than water. What can kat conclude is most like
Sidana [21]

Answer:

It is higher than that of water

Explanation:

Because we now know that through experimentation, the new compound has a higher and stronger hydrogen bonds than water, the specific heat capacity will be higher.

Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a unit mass of as substance by 1°C.

  • This property is a physical property of matter .
  • Most physical properties are a function of intermolecular forces in a compound.
  • Since hydrogen bond is a very strong intermolecular force, the specific heat capacity will be stronger for the compound discovered.
  • This implies that it will require more heat to raise the temperature of a unit mass of this compound by 1°C.

Answer:

no

Explanation:

they are insectivores, as they have a diet of primarily insects. producers are organisms that make their own energy, like plants, but horned lizards get their energy from consuming other organisms, so they are not producers
