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.

The chemical equation for the formation of ammonia is unbalanced. 3H2(g) + N2(g) -----> NH3(g) If three molecules of hydrogen
mestny [16]

Answer: 2 molecules of ammonia

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The balanced chemical equation for the formation of ammonia is:

3H_2(g)+N_2(g)\rightarrow 2NH_3

According to stoichiometry,

3 molecules of hydrogen combines with 1 molecule of nitrogen to give 2 molecules of ammonia.

Barium-131 is used in the detection of bone tumors. The half-life of barium-131 is approximately 12 days. How long will it take
Evgesh-ka [11]

Barium-131's radiation level won't reach 1/4 of its initial level for 24 hours.

ln[A] t = -kt + ln[A] 0 is the integrated rate rule for the first-order reaction A's products.

A straight line is produced when the natural log of [A] is plotted as a function of time since this equation has the form y = mx + b.

How is the length of a half-life determined?

The amount of time needed for the reactant concentration to drop to half its initial value is known as the half-life of a reaction. A first-order reaction's half-life is a constant that is correlated with its rate constant:

t 1/2 = 0.693/k.

The following reaction shows sodium carbonate reacting with calcium hydroxide.
velikii [3]

Ans: 15.1 grams

Given reaction:

Na2CO3 + Ca(OH)2 → 2NaOH + CaCO3

Mass of Na2CO3 = 20.0 g

Molar mass of Na2CO3 = 105.985 g/mol

# moles of Na2CO3 = 20/105.985 = 0.1887 moles

Based on the reaction stoichiometry: 1 mole of Na2CO3 produces 2 moles of NaOH

# moles of NaOH produced = 0.1887*2 = 0.3774 moles

Molar mass of NaOH = 22.989 + 15.999 + 1.008 = 39.996 g/mol

Mass of NaOH produced = 0.3774*39.996 = 15.09 grams

1.)Which of these statements correctly compares probeware (such as an electronic temperature probe) to traditional analog tools
Karolina [17]
1. D)
2. I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. The tools that <span>should be used to record the most complete data about a gas are a manometer and a thermometer. Pressure and temperature are important measurements for a gas since from these data we can calculate any other properties of the gas.</span>

8.7 Two products are formed in the following reaction in a 50:50 mixture. Would the resulting solution be optically active
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Yes. The solution would be optically active.

Explanation:

Diastereomer are defined as the image that is non mirror and non -identical. It is made up of two stereoisomers. They are formed when the two stereoisomers or more than two stereoisomers of the compound have the same configuration at the equivalent stereocenters.

In the given context, as the product given is a diastereomeric mixture, the product would have an optical activity in total.

So the answer is Yes.
