Question

For many purposes we can treat ammonia (NH) as an ideal gas at temperatures above its boiling point of -33.C. Suppose the temperature of a sample of ammonia gas is raised from -21.0°C to 23.0°C, and at the same time the pressure is changed. If the initial pressure was 4.6 atm and the volume decreased by 50.0%, what is the final pressure? Round your answer to 2 significant digits. atm OP x 5 ?

Answer 1

Answer:

In homeothermic (“warm-blooded”) animals, body temperature is carefully  

regulated. The hypothalamus, located in the brain, acts as the master ther-

mostat to keep body temperature constant to within a fraction of a degree  

Celsius in a healthy animal. If the body temperature starts to deviate much  

from the desired constant level, the hypothalamus causes changes in blood  

flow and initiates other processes, such as shivering or perspiration, to bring  

the temperature back to normal. What evolutionary advantage does a con-

stant body temperature give the homeotherms (e.g., birds and mammals)  

over the poikilotherms (e.g., reptiles and insects), whose body temperatures  

are not kept constant? What are the disadvantages?
