Answer:

Nitropruside

Explanation:

Shock is a serious medical condition where oxygen levels in the body are low,  causing a low blood pressure which can lead to organ damage and sometimes death. Shock can be caused by low blood volume or inadequate pumping action of the heart.

Nitropruside is a very potent vasodilator. It acts on the arterial and venous smooth muscles, causing smooth muscle relaxation and leading to decreased cardiac preload and afterload. A reduction in afterload gives rise to an increased cardiac output and blood supply to the cells is increased. This in turn reduces the need for the heart to pump more blood (a compensatory response by the heart due to the low oxygen levels), thereby reducing the oxygen demand of the heart.

In the single displacement reaction of HCl and magnesium, how many grams of magnesium chloride would be produced if 1.05g of mag
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

4.16g of MgCl2

Explanation:

First, let us generate a balanced equation for the reaction:

Mg + 2HCl —> MgCl2 + H2

Molar Mass of Mg = 24g/mol

Molar Mass of MgCl2 = 24 + (2x35.5) = 24 + 71 = 95g

From the equation,

24g of Mg produced 95g of MgCl2.

Therefore, 1.05g of Mg will produce = (1.05x95)/24 = 4.16g of MgCl2

How is electromagnetic energy transformed into heat energy
olga2289 [7]
Radiant Energy is electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves. Radiant energy includes visible light, x-rays, gamma rays and radio waves. Light is one type of radiant energy. Sunshine is radiant energy, which provides the fuel and warmth that make life on Earth possible. 

<span>Heat travels from the sun by a process called radiation. Radiation is the transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves. When infrared rays strike a material, the molecules in that material move faster. In addition to the sun, light bulbs, irons, and toasters radiate heat. When we feel heat around these items, however, we are feeling convection heat (warmed air molecules) rather than radiated heat since the heat waves strike and energize surrounding air molecules. </span>

<span>A light bulb changes the chemical energy of the bulb into electromagnetic radiation, or light. Which in return gets transformed into heat (have you ever touched a light bulb? ouch!). </span>

When you heat up coffee in a microwave, you are transforming electromagnetic energy into heat.http://www.svsu.edu/mathsci-center/uploa... 

<span>People have started to utilize electromagnetic energy in the form of solar power, using solar panels to gather the radiant energy that comes from the sun and use it for electricity. For example, a pool that has solar heating panels. </span>

Why does a 10 ton block of steal sink to the bottom of the ocean but a 10 ton boat made of the exact same steel float?
Alchen [17]
The boat is flattened and there is more air against the surface pushing it up but a block has all weight in one place and will just sink<span />
