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

Chemistry

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

Potassium iodide reacts with lead(II) nitrate in this precipitation reaction: 2 KI(aq) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) → 2 KNO3(aq) + PbI2(s) Wha
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

a. 174 mL

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

2 KI(aq) + Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) → 2 KNO₃(aq) + PbI₂(s)

We have 155.0 mL of a 0.112 M lead(II) nitrate solution. The moles of Pb(NO₃)₂ are:

0.1550 L × 0.112 mol/L = 0.0174 mol

The molar ratio of KI to Pb(NO₃)₂ is 2:1. The moles of KI are:

2 × 0.0174 mol = 0.0348 mol

The volume of a 0.200 M KI solution that contains 0.0348 moles is:

0.0348 mol × (1 L / 0.200 mol) = 0.174 L = 174 mL

A 50.0 mg sample of iodine-131 was placed in a container 32.4 days ago. if its half-life is 8.1 days, how many milligrams of iod
sertanlavr [38]

3.124mg of I-131 is present after 32.4 days.

The 131 I isotope emits radiation and particles and has an 8-day half-life. Orally administered, it concentrates in the thyroid, where the thyroid gland is destroyed by the particles.

What is Half life?

The time required for half of something to undergo a process: such as. a : the time required for half of the atoms of a radioactive substance to become disintegrated.

Half of the iodine-131 will still be present after 8.1 days.

The amount of iodine-131 will again be halved after 8.1 additional days, for a total of 8.1+8.1=16.2 days, reaching (1/2)(1/2)=1/4 of the initial amount.

The quantity of iodine-131 will again be halved after 8.1 more days, for a total of 16.2+8.1+8.1=32.4 days, to (1/4)(1/2)(1/2)=1/16 of the initial quantity.

If the original dose of iodine-131 was 50mg, the residual dose will be (50mg)*(1/16)=3.124mg after 32.4 days.

A sample of water at 100°C is converted to steam after absorbing 820 kJ of heat. How grams of H2O are contained in the sample? A
Varvara68 [4.7K]
Since water is already at 100<span>°C all the energy is used to evaporate it. 
Now we can calculate how many </span>mols of water are evaporated with 820kJ.
N= \frac{820}{41} =20 mol
We calculated that we got 20 mols of water evaporated. Now, all we have to do is find how many grams is a mol of water. Molar mass of water is <span>20.16 g/mol.
</span>The final answer is:
m=20*20.16=403.2g
