Firdavs [7]2 years ago

Answer:

False hypermagnesaemia

Explanation:

Magnesium is predominantly an intracellular divalent action and it is important for optimal cellular function. It is an essential cofactor to many enzymes as well as being important for membrane function.

The body contain about 1 mol (approximately 25g) of magnesium.

Hemolyzed specimen will result in release of magnesium from intracellular to extracellular, causing elevation of the blood level of magnesium. This is a false hypermagnesaemia because it doesn't represent the real blood level.

Earth has one moon and mars has two moons. how many more moons are found around the outer planets than the inner planets?
Travka [436]
The outer planets are <span>Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune while the inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and  Mars. The outer planets have more moons than the inner planets because these planets are much larger than the inner ones. The inner planets are terrestrial while larger ones are called gas giants, mostly made up of gas.</span>

1. Show that heat flows spontaneously from high temperature to low temperature in any isolated system (hint: use entropy change
Inga [223]

Answer:

1 ) Δs ( entropy change for hot block ) = - Q / th  ( -ve shows heat lost to cold block )

Δs ( entropy change for cold block ) = Q / tc

∴ Total Δs = ΔSc + ΔSh

                 = Q/tc - Q/th

2) ΔSdecomposition = Δh / Temp = ( 181.6 * 10^3 / 773 ) = 234.928 J/k

Explanation:

<u>1) To show that heat flows spontaneously from high temperature to low temperature </u>

example :

Pick two(2) solid metal blocks with varying temperatures ( i.e. one solid block is hot and the other solid block is cold )

Place both blocks for time (t ) in an insulated system to reduce heat loss or gain to or from the environment

Check the temperature of both blocks after time ( t ) it will be observed that both blocks will have same temperature after time t ( first law of thermodynamics )

Δs ( entropy change for hot block ) = - Q / th  ( -ve shows heat lost to cold block )

Δs ( entropy change for cold block ) = Q / tc

∴ Total Δs = ΔSc + ΔSh

                 = Q/tc - Q/th

<u>2) Entropy change for Decomposition of mercuric oxide </u>

2HgO (s) → 2Hg(l) + O₂ (g)

Δs = positive

there is transition from solid to liquid and the melting point of mercury ( the point at which reaction will take place ) = 500⁰C

hence ΔSdecomposition = S⁻ Hg  -  S⁻ HgO =

Δh of reaction = 181.6 KJ

Temp = 500 + 273 = 773 k

hence ΔSdecomposition = Δh / Temp = ( 181.6 * 10^3 / 773 ) = 234.928 J/k

a block of iron has the dimensions of 3.00 cm x 3.00 cm x 3.00 cm. it has a mass of 213 g. what is its density? a. 638 g/cm3 b.
Juliette [100K]
Volume = 3 cm × 3cm × 3cm
             =  27 cm ³

Mass  =  213 g

Density  =  \frac{MASS}{VOLUME}
 
              = <span>\frac{213 g}{27 cm ^{3} }
</span> 
<span>              =  7.89 g / cm³

Thus answer is D.</span>

satela [25.4K]
<span>after the 1940, the infention of : PASTEURIZATION permitted wines to be produced in places where climate was not ideal for wine production after pasteurization process, all the microbes that exist within the wine are eliminated, which will prevent it from rottening. This make it possible to store wine for a long period of time even thought it's not in the harvesting climate</span>
