Mumz [18]3 years ago
3 0

The answer is A


The bacteria that cause disease are known as pathogens. The term pathogen is used to refer to all types of disease causing microorganisms. These include  bacteria, fungi, protozoa and fungi.

Bacteria. Microscopic organisms that come in many shapes and sizes. Some bacteria that cause disease in man are Salmonella typhi which causes typhoid and Streptococcus pyogens which causes sore throat.

Virus. A virus is a microscopic entity much smaller than even bacteria and can only exist inside a host such as a cell. It cannot live on its own. Some viruses that cause disease are HIV which causes AIDS and  Rhino virus which causes colds.

Fungi.  These are a group of unicellular or multicellular microscopic organisms that live by feeding on organic matter. A type of fungus that causes disease  is Trichophyton mentagrophyte which is responsible for athlete's foot.

Protozoa. A group of one celled organisms which live in water. Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoa, an amoeba which causes amoebic dysentery in man.

What term describes the process of lowering the boiling point of a hydrocarbon by exposing it to different environmental treatme
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Cracking.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction can be defined as a reaction in which two or more atoms of a chemical element react to form a chemical compound. An example of a chemical reaction involving hydrocarbons is cracking.

Hydrocarbon can be defined as an organic compound that comprises of hydrogen and carbon only.

In Organic chemistry, cracking refers to the process of lowering the boiling point of a heavy, complex or long-chain hydrocarbon such as kerogens by exposing it to different environmental treatments such as hydrogen enriched catalysts, pressure or high temperatures, in order to produce smaller, lighter and more useful molecules (alkanes and alkenes) such as gasoline, diesel fuel, etc.

If you start with 64g of a radioactive element how many half-lives would occur before 8g remain?
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

3 half-lives

Explanation:

The half-life is the time that it takes to a radioactive element to decay to half of its initial amount.

Let's suppose we start with 64 g of the radioactive element.

  • After 1 half-life, the mass of the element will be 32 g.
  • After 2 half-lives, the mass of the element will be 16 g.
  • After 3 half-lives, the mass of the element will be 8 g.

Which of the following has a melting point greater than room temperature?
nikdorinn [45]
Technically, the answer is iron. Oxygen has a melting point way below zero (-219 degrees celsius), ice becomes water AT room temperature and bromine is already a liquid at room temperature. So, iron has a melting point greater than room temperature due to the fact that metals are made up of giant structures of atoms in a regular arrangement, and there are strong forces of electrostatic attraction between positive metal ions and negative electrons, meaning that a lot of heat energy is required to break the bonds, i.e. a very high melting point, approx. 1500 degrees celsius. Hope this helps.

a particular application calls for N2 g with a density of 1.80 g/L at 32 degrees C what must be the pressure of the n2 g in mill
baherus [9]

Answer:

1223.38 mmHg

Explanation:

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

Also,  

Moles = mass (m) / Molar mass (M)

Density (d)  = Mass (m) / Volume (V)

So, the ideal gas equation can be written as:

PM=dRT

Given that:-

d = 1.80 g/L

Temperature = 32 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T = (32 + 273.15) K = 305.15 K

Molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28 g/mol

Applying the equation as:

P × 28 g/mol  = 1.80 g/L × 62.3637 L.mmHg/K.mol × 305.15 K

⇒P = 1223.38 mmHg

<u>1223.38 mmHg must be the pressure of the nitrogen gas.</u>
