What are the pros and cons of modern medicine? (I'm rewarding 25 points)

1 answer:

8 0

Pros: The rate at which modern medicine is advancing is astonishing. You can sit on your couch and watch TV and see commercials for new medications at an alarming pace — and these new medications have reduced our death rates for stroke, heart disease, and cancer. In fact, due to modern medicine, the death rate from heart disease has decreased by 60% since 1970! The death rate for HIV/AIDS has dropped more than 75% since 1995, when its was at its peak.

Cons: However, critics of modern medicine are quick to point out that there is a pill for everything . Yes we are quick to create more drugs, and yes, we are living longer due to said drugs but are we living better?
Medicine has evolved, and we now have surgeons who are able to perform surgeries robotically. But critics point out that medicine has evolved to the point that we are treating disease instead of preventing it .

A balloon vendor at a street fair is using a tank of helium to fill her balloons. The tank has a volume of 124.0 L and a pressur

amm1812

Answer:

She lost 50.88 moles

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The volume of the tank = 124.0 L

The initial pressure = 104.0 atm

The temperature = 24.0 °C = 297 K

The pressure drops to 94.0 atm

The temperature stays constant at 297 K

Step 2: Calculate the initial number of moles

p*V = n*R*T

n = (p*V)/(R*T)

⇒with p = the initial pressure = 104.0 atm

⇒with V = the initial volume = 124.0 L

⇒with n = the initial number of moles = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K

⇒ with T = the temperature= 297 K

n = (104.0*124.0)/(0.08206*297)

n = 529.14 moles

Step 3: Calculate final number of moles

p*V = n*R*T

n = (p*V)/(R*T)

⇒with p = the initial pressure = 94.0 atm

⇒with V = the initial volume = 124.0 L

⇒with n = the initial number of moles = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K

⇒ with T = the temperature= 297 K

n = (94.0*124.0)/(0.08206*297)

n = 478.26 moles

Step 4: Calculate the difference of moles

529.14 moles - 478.26 moles = 50.88 moles

She lost 50.88 moles

In the article, Invasion of the Periodical Cicadas, why do scienctists believe that cicadas only reproduce every 13 or 17 years?

frez [133]

Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I assumed you are referring to the article found on the Scientific American website.

Explanation:

<em>Remember,</em> according to that article we are told that scientists notice that these insects have a long nymphal (immature form before becoming adults) stage, one that can last up to 13 to 17 years on the ground before they leave the ground looking for mating partners.

Because it is only after mating occurs at this point that their eggs are laid, that is why scientists believe that cicadas only reproduce every 13 or 17 years.

Consider the reaction.

N76 [4]

Answer: m = 50 g ZnSO4

Explanation: First is convert the moles of Zn to the moles of ZnSO4 by having their mole ratio which is 2:2 based from the balanced equation. Next is convert the moles of ZnSO4 to mass using its molar mass.

0.311 mole Zn x 2 moles ZnSO4 / 2 moles Zn

= 0.311 moles ZnSO4

0.311 moles ZnSO4 x 161 g ZnSO4 / 1 mole ZnSO4

= 50 ZnSO4

Which of the following best describes what happens when molecular compounds melt? A.) Molecules separate into their component at

Semenov [28]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. When a molecular compound melts, they undergo the process of phase change from solid to liquid therefore m<span>olecules arranged in a regular pattern change to an irregular pattern. Hope this answers the question.</span>

Answer both 8 and 9 will give u brain list with explanation as well so don’t just answer

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

8. the answer is B.

9. the answer is A.

Explanation:

Hello!

8. In this case, by bearing to mind that the limiting reactant is always completely consumed and the excess one remain as a leftover at the end of the reaction, we can also infer that as all the limiting reactant is consumed, it must determine the maximum amount of product as the excess reactant will hypothetically produce a greater mass than expected; thus, the answer to this question is B.

9. In this case, since the mole ratio of oxygen to water is 1:2, the following proportional factor is used to calculate the produced mass of water:

$3molO_2*\frac{2molH_2O}{1molO_2}=6molH_2O$

Thus, the answer is this case is A.

Best regards!
