Please help: How do oxidation reactions help people with diabetes monitor their blood glucose levels? Thank you!!!

Chemistry
1 answer:
solong [7]3 years ago

Answer:-

People with diabetes must monitor their blood glucose levels constantly.

Blood glucose levels are nowadays measured by the help of enzyme glucose oxidase. The enzyme glucose oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of glucose to gluconic acid.

By this way all of the glucose is measured at one time. At the same time hydrogen peroxide is produced.

The hydrogen peroxide reacts with a second color producing chemical. The concentration of the glucose can be related to the intensity of color produced

The equation for carbon-14 emission by Radium-223 nuclei is given below:

^{223}_{88}Ra \rightarrow\: ^{209}_{82}Pb + \:^{14}_{6}C

<h3>What is radioactivity?</h3>

Radioactivity is the spontaneous decay of a substance with emission of radiation.

The equation for carbon-14 emission by Radium-223 nuclei is given below:

^{223}_{88}Ra \rightarrow\: ^{209}_{82}Pb + \:^{14}_{6}C

In conclusion, the emission of carbon-14 by Radium-223 nuclei produces Lead-209 nuclei.

aniked [119]

Answer:

2.103 J/C

Explanation:

Quantity of heat = Heat Capacity * Temperature change

Heat Capacity = Quantity of heat / Temperature Change

Heat Capacity = 61/29

Heat Capacity = 2.103 J/C

The law of conservation of mass is applicable to
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The law of conservation of mass states that in a closed system, mass is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical or physical reaction. The law of conservation of mass is applied whenever you balance a chemical equation.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants.

The law of conservation of mass is useful for a number of calculations and can be used to solve for unknown masses, such the amount of gas consumed or produced during a reaction.

It is applicable in a chemical when the the mass of the products in a chemical reaction is equal to  the mass of the reactants.

But it is not applicable in a nuclear fusion as some of the mass is generated as energy.

Explain how lithium atom is positive charge​
yulyashka [42]
Lithium is an element that has an electronic configuration of 2,1. So when forming bonds, it tries to release one of its electrons in the last shell to reach the octet state. Normally when atoms release electrons they get positive charge since the number of protons which bear positive charge, is higher than number of electrons which bear negative charge. So when reaching its octet state, lithium gains positive charge!

Hope this helps! Tbh am not good at explaining. If u have any doubts, ask me!
