The body uses atoms in different ways to accomplish different tasks. For example, one portion of the body's calcium supply stren

gthens bones, whereas another portion combines with proteins to stimulate blood clotting after tissue injury. Which of the following statements provides the most logical chemical explanation of calcium's ability to perform such different functions?a. The calcium in blood is a more reactive form of the atom and therefore has fewer protons than the calcium in bone.
b. there are many different isotopes of calcium, and the most reactive isotope is found in the bone.
c. the bone contains calcium salts, which are less reactive than the calcium ions found in the blood.
d. the calcium in blood has a lighter atomic mass than the calcium in bone and is in a more reactive form.

Answer:

The correct option is;

c. the bone contains calcium salts, which are less reactive than the calcium ions found in the blood.

Explanation:

The most abundant metallic element found in the human body is calcium as it is present in the bones teeth and metabolism of the kidney

99 %  of the calcium in the human body are found in the bones while the remaining 1 % circulates in the blood as ions

The bones of the vertebrate are made up of calcium salts such as calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate and calcium fluoride.

2. How will the equilibrium shift if the following changes are made? State if the reaction will shift
Kamila [148]

Please give me brainleist. :)

Answer:

2a. If the temperature is increased, the reaction will shift to the right in an attempt to release some of the heat. As the forward reaction loses heat while the reverse would create more heat.

2b. If the pressure is increased, it would shift to the left to counteract the increase in pressure as the left side will have fewer molecules.

2c. If Cl2 is added the reaction will shift to the left in order to remove the stress of the extra Cl2 and favor the production of more reactant.

2d. If PCl3 is removed, the reaction will shift to the right. When part of the equation is removed the reaction learns to adapt to the loss by trying to make more Pcl3 and counteract the effects of losing the PCl3.

3a. The reaction will shift to the right to produce more heat and counter the negative effects of losing the heat.

3b. It will shift to the left to get rid of the excess HCl being produced and form more reactant from the breakdown of the HCl.

3c. It would shift to the right in order to get rid of the excess form products from it.

3d. If pressure is decreased there will be no effect on the shift of the reaction because there is an even amount of moles of gas on each side.

4a. K=[N2O4(g0] / [NO2(g)]2

4b. (Below)

K=[N2O4(g)] / [NO2(g)]2

0.4 / 0.5(2)

0.4/0.25 = 1.6

Keq= 1.6

A brick has dimensions of 15 cm x 6.0 cm x 12 cm. What is the volume of the brick in cubi meters?
Likurg_2 [28]
Convert all of the units from centimeters to meters by moving the decimal point over to the left two digits.

0.15 m x 0.06 m x 0.12 m

Volume = length x width x height
             = 0.15 x 0.06 x 0.12 = 0.00108 m^3
