Answer:

Flow in liters per minute is 4 L/min

Explanation:

For this case, we have an aorta of 0.9 cm of diameter (D). Let's suppose an uniform and constant diameter for calculation purposes.  

D = (0.9 cm)(1m/100cm)

D = 0.009 m

It is required to calculate the blood flow in liters per minute when the flow regime changes from laminar to turbulent. Laminar flow is usually less than 2500 for Reynolds value, and Turbulent flow when Re is higher than 2500. So, we need to study the phenomenon for  

Re = 2500.

Using the definition of Reynolds we can find the velocity average of the blood, and use it to find flow. Where blood density is \rho, aorta diameter is D, average velocity is v and blood viscosity is \mu

Re = \frac{\rho v D}{\mu } \\v = \frac{Re*\mu}{\rho D}

From data problem, we have Re, D values. As we need blood density and blood viscosity we can find them in medical studies. For example: in this online document: Blood flow analysis of the aortic arch using computational fluid dynamics †

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, Volume 49, Issue 6, June 2016, Pages 1578–1585, https://doi.org/10.1093/ejcts/ezv459  

Published: 20 January 2016

\rho = 1060 kg/m^3\\\mu = 0.0004 kg/(ms)\\

v = \frac{Re*\mu}{\rho D}\\v = \frac{2500 * 0.004 kg/(ms)}{(1060 kg/m3)(0.009 m)}\\v = 1.04 m/s\\

Average blood velocity is 1.04 m/s. After that, we can calculate the flow (Q) using the flow are (Ao) of aorta.

Q = v*Ao

Q = (1.4m/s)*(\pi*(0.009m/2)^2)\\Q = 6.67 * 10^-5 \frac{m^3}{s}\\Q = (6.67 * 10^-5 \frac{m^3}{s})(\frac{1000 L}{1 m^3} ) (\frac{60 s}{1 min} )\\Q = 4 L/min

Finally, the blood flow in liters per minute is 4 L/min when the flow regime in the aorta changes from laminar to turbulent.

when you started the activity, the can was open to the air outside tge can. how did the air pressure inside the can compare to t
aliya0001 [1]

The air pressure inside the can is lower compared to that of outside air pressure.

Explanation:

  • In general, the air pressure of an already opened can will be the same as the outside pressure.
  • Since the can is evacuated and remain as vacuum, so there will be no pressure difference in it.
  • If the can opens, air inside the can push the top and escapes to the outside.
  • This is due to high pressure experienced outside the can compare to that of lower pressure inside the can and this may even cause can to collapse itself.

Calculate ∆G ◦ r for the decomposition of mercury(II) oxide 2 HgO(s) → 2 Hg(ℓ) + O2(g) ∆H◦ f −90.83 − − (kJ · mol−1 ) ∆S ◦ m 70.
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

4. +117,1 kJ/mol

Explanation:

ΔG of a reaction is:

ΔGr = ΔHr - TΔSr <em>(1)</em>

For the reaction:

2 HgO(s) → 2 Hg(l) + O₂(g)

ΔHr: 2ΔHf Hg(l) + ΔHf O₂(g) - 2ΔHf HgO(s)

As ΔHf of Hg(l) and ΔHf O₂(g) are 0:

ΔHr: - 2ΔHf HgO(s) = <u><em>181,66 kJ/mol</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

In the same way ΔSr is:

ΔSr= 2ΔS° Hg(l) + ΔS° O₂(g) - 2ΔS° HgO(s)

ΔSr= 2* 76,02J/Kmol + 205,14 J/Kmol - 2*70,19 J/Kmol

ΔSr= 216,8 J/Kmol = <em><u>0,216 kJ/Kmol</u></em>

Thus, ΔGr at 298K is:

ΔGr = 181,66 kJ/mol - 298K*0,216kJ/Kmol

ΔGr = +117,3 kJ/mol ≈ <em>4. +117,1 kJ/mol</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!
