Antoine Henri Becquerel discovered radioactivity when he was studying

X- rays.

He had been studying phosphorescent uranium ores and hypothesized that they might absorb sunlight and reemit it as X-rays.

His hypothesis was wrong, but his experiments led to the discovery of <em>natural radioactivity</em>.

I think it comes from Fungi. I'm not 100% sure about that though.

Control of Blood pH by respiratory rate.

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

A) During this procedure ( hypoventilation ) The CO2 in the arterial blood vessels and the lungs increases and this drives the PH level in the system lower, and the equilibrium will shift to the right. this is because the Blood-PH level is controlled by CO2 - bicarbonate buffer system

B) The blood PH may rise to 7.60 during Hyperventilation because the removal of CO2 from the lungs causes the increase in $H^+$ which is directly proportional to the increase in Blood PH levels

C) Hyper ventilation before a dash would be useful because it will remove excessive Hydrogen ions and and raise the Blood PH levels in preparedness of the production of acids like Lactic acid

Explanation:

$CO_{2} +H_{2} O$ ⇄ $H^+ + HCO^-_{3}$

B) The blood PH may rise to 7.60 during Hyperventilation because the removal of CO2 from the lungs causes the increase in $H^+$ which is directly proportional to the increase in Blood PH levels

C) Hyper ventilation before a dash would be useful because it will remove excessive Hydrogen ions and and raise the Blood PH levels in preparedness of the production of acids like Lactic acid

Arrange the following oxides in order of increasing acidity.

zmey [24]

Answer:

Based on the Modern Periodic table, there is an increase in the electropositivity of the atom down the group as well as increases across a period. On comparing the electropositivities of the mentioned oxides central atom, it is seen that Ca is most electropositive followed by Al, Si, C, P, and S is the least electropositive.

With the decrease in the electropositivity, there is an increase in the acidity of the oxides. Thus, the increasing order of the oxides from the least acidic to the most acidic is:

CaO > Al2O3 > SiO2 > CO2 > P2O5 > SO3. Hence, CaO is the least acidic and SO3 is the most acidic.

The following thermochemical equation is for the reaction of Fe 3 O 4 (s) with hydrogen (g) to form iron and water vapor Fe 3 O

Mila [183]

Answer:

41.3kJ of heat is absorbed

Explanation:

Based in the reaction:

Fe₃O₄(s) + 4H₂(g) → 3Fe(s) + 4H₂O(g) ΔH = 151kJ

<em>1 mole of Fe3O4 reacts with 4 moles of H₂, 151kJ are absorbed.</em>

63.4g of Fe₃O₄ (Molar mass: 231.533g/mol) are:

63.4g Fe₃O₄ × (1mol / 231.533g) = <em>0.274moles of Fe₃O₄</em>

These are the moles of Fe₃O₄ that react. As 1 mole of Fe₃O₄ in reaction absorb 151kJ, 0.274moles absorb:

0.274moles of Fe₃O₄ × (151kJ / 1 mole Fe₃O₄) =

<h3>41.3kJ of heat is absorbed</h3>
