Chemistry

pentagon [3]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Histamine is a protein produced by <u>mast cells</u> in the body. It plays a very important role in the immune system of the body. Histamine is released in the body when <u>affected by an allergen</u>, e.g, pollen or animal dander. The immune system of the body will respond to such allergen by <u>making more mucus in the nose by releasing histamine</u>. There will be sneezing, itching, coughing and runny nose in response. This is a <u>basic defense of the body's immune system</u> to not enter any particle inside the body.

Suppose you find a rock originally made of potassium-40, half of which decays into argon-40 every 1.25 billion years. You open t
FromTheMoon [43]

We see that in 1 rock, there are 31 atoms of Argon and 1 atom of Potassium so the relative concentration of Potassium is:

1 / 32

or can be written as:

1 / 2^5

So this means that 5 half-lives have passed.

So the years are:

<span>years passed = 5 * 1.25 billion years = 6.25 billion years</span>

A 25.0 ml sample of gas has a pressure of 760 torr. What is the volume of the gas if the pressure decreases to 380 torr ? Assume
anygoal [31]

Answer:

50mL

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law equation as follows:

P1V1 = P2V2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (torr.)

P2 = final pressure (torr.)

V1 = initial volume (mL)

V2 = final volume (mL)

According to the information provided in the question,

V1 = 25.0mL

V2 = ?

P1 = 760 torr.

P2 = 380 torr.

Using P1V1 = P2V2

V2 = P1V1//P2

V2 = (760 × 25) ÷ 380

V2 = 19000 ÷ 380

V2 = 50mL
