What is significant about a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius? Explain your answer

Chemistry

andrey2020 [161]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

For most folks, a thermometer reading around 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius) means their body temperature is normal. Now, two scientists have an idea why our bodies, as well as those of most other mammals, consistently run at that temperature : A toasty body temperature helps keep nasty fungal infections at bay.

"One of the mysteries about humans and other advanced mammals has been why they are so hot compared with other animals," said study co-author Arturo Casadevall, professor and chair of microbiology and immunology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva. "This study helps to explain why mammalian temperatures are all around 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit."

Casdevall's previous work showed that the number of fungal species that can thrive and, therefore, infect an animal declines by 6 percent for every 1.8 degree F (1 C) rise in temperature. This, he claimed, is why reptiles , amphibians and other cold-blooded animals are susceptible to tens of thousands of fungal species, whereas only a few hundred types of fungi can harm humans and other mammals.

A tropical climate is a wet climate. Consider a city like Bogota, Colombia which has a tropical climate. Does a tropical climate
dlinn [17]

Answer:

No, It will mean lot of rains but not every day

Explanation:

In wet tropical climates, the high clouds trap a lot of heat while balancing incoming and outgoing heat energy. When the number of heat trapping cloud remains very low, then the unstable cool air above the clouds cause lot of rain.

Hence, there will rain frequently but no everyday

What volume of carbon dioxide (CO2) will be produced if 2.90 moles of it on (Fe) is produced?
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

= 97.44 Liters at S.T.P

Explanation:

The reaction between Iron (iii) oxide and Carbon monoxide is given by the equation;

Fe2O3(s)+ 3CO(g) → 3CO2(g) + 2Fe(s)

From the reaction when the reactants react, 2 moles of Fe and 3 moles of CO2 are produced.

Therefore; Mole ratio of Iron : Carbon dioxide is 2:3

Thus; Moles of Carbon dioxide = (2.9/2)×3

                                                   = 4.35 moles

But; 1 mole of CO2 at s.t.p occupies 22.4 liters

Therefore;

Mass of CO2 = 22.4 × 4.35 Moles

                     = 97.44 L
