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.

How to solve 2=-log(x)

ch4aika [34]

First, you want to extract the negative from -log(x).

So now you have log(x) = -2

Now you have to use the property loga(x)=b is the same as x=a^2

So now, it is x = 10^-2. Remember that when there is just a log, it is implied that it is ‘a’ is 10.

Then you evaluate the negative square to 1/10^2

The blank and the blank of atoms are the same on both sides of a chemical equation.

tester [92]

Answer:

Every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, there must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of a chemical equation.

The arsenic in a 1.223 g sample of a pesticide was converted to H3AsO4 by suitable treatment. The acid was then neutralized, and

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

5.471% As₂O₃ in the sample.

Explanation:

...the reaction is: Ag+ + SCN- => AgSCN(s) Calculate the percent As2O3 in the sample. (F.W. As2O3 = 197.84 g/mol).

First, with the amount of KSCN we can find the moles of Ag in the filtrates. As we know the amount of Ag added we can know the precipitate of Ag and the moles of AsO₄ = 1/2 moles of As₂O₃ in the sample:

Moles KSCN = Moles Ag⁺ in the filtrate:

0.01127L * (0.100mol / L)= 0.001127moles Ag⁺

Total moles Ag⁺:

0.0400L * (0.0781mol/L) = 0.0031564 moles Ag⁺

Moles of Ag⁺ in the precipitate:

0.0031564 - 0.001127 = 0.0020294 moles Ag⁺

Moles AsO₄ = Moles As:

0.0020294 moles Ag⁺ * (1mol As / 3 moles Ag⁺) = 6.765x10⁻⁴ moles AsO₄

Moles As₂O₃:

6.765x10⁻⁴ moles AsO₄ * (1 mol As₂O₃ / 2 mol AsO₄) =

3.382x10⁻⁴ moles As₂O₃

Mass As₂O₃:

3.382x10⁻⁴ moles As₂O₃ * (197.84g/mol) = 0.0669g As₂O₃

Percent is:

0.0669g As₂O₃ / 1.223g sample * 100 =

<h3>5.471% As₂O₃ in the sample</h3>

A chemist encounters an unknown metal. They drop the metal into a graduated cylinder containing water, and find the volume chang

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

The density of the metal is 0.561 g/mL

Explanation:

The computation of the density of the metal is shown below;

As we know that

The Density of the metal is

$= \frac{mass}{volume}$

where,

Mass = 4.9g

Change in volume = 6.9 mL

Now place these values to the above formula

So, the density of the metal is

$= \frac{4.9g}{6.9mL}$

= 0.561 g/mL

Hence, the density of the metal is 0.561 g/mL

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct density could arrive
