<span>Air pressure is caused by the weight of the air molecules above. Even tiny air molecules have some weight, and the huge numbers of airmolecules that make up the layers of our atmosphere collectively have a great deal of weight, which presses down on whatever is below.</span>

If body fats has a density of 0.94 g/mL and 3.0 liters of fat are removed, how many pounds of fat were removed from the patient?
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

6.217 pounds

Explanation:

We are given;

  • Density of body fats 0.94 g/mL
  • Volume of fats removed = 3.0 L

We are required to determine the mass of fats removed in pounds.

We need to know that;

Density = Mass ÷ volume

1 L = 1000 mL, thus, volume is 3000 mL

Rearranging the formula;

Mass = Density × Volume

         = 0.94 g/mL × 3000 mL

         = 2,820 g

but, 1 pound = 453.592 g

Therefore;

Mass = 2,820 g ÷ 453.592 g per pound

         = 6.217 pounds

Thus, the amount of fats removed is 6.217 pounds

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Option F. 3moles

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is given below:

2H2 + O2 —> 2H2O

from the equation,

2moles of H2 required 1mole of O2.

Therefore, 6moles of H2 will require = 6/2 = 3moles of O2

Which statement is true about compounds? They do not form living things. They do not form nonliving things. They are formed when
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

The true statement is:

They are formed when atoms of different elements combine.

Explanation:

Compounds are formed when atoms of different elements combine.

Atoms of different elements combine with each other to attain stable electronic configuration.

The atoms can combine with each other in two different ways:

1) By sharing the electrons

2) By exchanging electrons

When they share electrons with each other, they form a covalent bond.

When they exchange electrons, they form an ionic bond.

When body temperature rises during physical activity, which thermoregulatory response is stimulated?
navik [9.2K]

Answer: Heat dissipation mechanism

Explanation: Heat dissipation mechanism is a thermoregulatory response in humans whereby the hypothalamus of the brain initiates certain processes to reduce the high body temperature. Eg, sweating is initiated which helps cool down the body temperature, also superficial arteries are dilated, thereby leading to flushing and decreasing heatloss into the air. And metabolic heat production is also reduced.
