It is hard to breath because there is less pressure the higher you go up

It is hard to breathe at higher elevations because of lower air pressure. Due to lower air pressure it becomes hard for the oxygen to enter our vascular system. At sea level the atmospheric pressure is about 14.7 pounds per square inch. This atmospheric pressure allows us the oxygen to reach our lungs and to the vascular system with ease. The higher we go, the atmospheric pressure starts decreasing and harder it becomes for us to breath. The lungs gets affected by the lower atmospheric pressure and so it cannot function normally as it can do at sea level.

A student isolated 15.6 g of product from a chemical reaction. She calculated that the reactions should have produced 18.4 g of

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The percent yield of this reaction is 84.8 % (option A is correct)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The student isolated 15.6 grams of the product = the actual yield

She calculated the reaction should have produced 18.4 grams of product = the theoretical yield = 18.4 grams

Step 2: Calculate the percent yield

Percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield ) * 100 %

Percent yield = (15.6 grams / 18.4 grams ) * 100 %

Percent yield = 84.8 %

The percent yield of this reaction is 84.8 % (option A is correct)

Science is a unique field of thought because it relies on _______ to describe the world. A Teachers and students B Observations

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

B) Observations and experimentation

Explanation:

this is the most suitable words to describe how is Science used in describing the world. we collect the knowledge in organized way and provide it with explanations and start to predict about the future world

ِAny Inventions are based on Science and no Inventions without Observations and experimentation

No one of us have went to a chemistry or a physics labs without using Observations and experimentation

Calculate the heat absorbed by a sample of water that has a mass of 45.00 g when the temperature increases from 21.0oC to 38.5 o

Elenna [48]

Answer:

The heat absorbed by the sample of water is 3,294.9 J

Explanation:

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

The sensible heat of a body is the amount of heat received or transferred by a body when it undergoes a temperature variation (Δt) without there being a change of physical state (solid, liquid or gaseous). Its mathematical expression is:

Q = c * m * ΔT

Where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation.

In this case:

Q=?
m= 45 g
c= 4.184 $\frac{J}{g*C}$
ΔT= Tfinal - Tinitial= 38.5 C - 21 C= 17.5 C

Replacing:

Q= 4.184 $\frac{J}{g*C}$ * 45 g* 17.5 C

Solving:

Q=3,294.9 J

The heat absorbed by the sample of water is 3,294.9 J

A reversible reaction is a reaction that takes place in the ( formation of reactants to products and products to reactants simultaneously ). If the reaction were to ( be in dynamic equilibrium ), the rate of forward reaction would be equal to that of the reverse reaction.

hope this helps :))
