The radioisotope phosphorus-32 is used in tracers for measuring phosphorus uptake by plants. The half-life of phosphorus-32 is 1

4.3 days. How much time is required for the activity of a sample of phosphorus-32 to fall to 7.34 percent of its original value

Answer:

54 days

Explanation:

We have to use the formula;

0.693/t1/2 =2.303/t log Ao/A

Where;

t1/2= half-life of phosphorus-32= 14.3 days

t= time taken for the activity to fall to 7.34% of its original value

Ao=initial activity of phosphorus-32

A= activity of phosphorus-32 after a time t

Note that;

A=0.0734Ao (the activity of the sample decreased to 7.34% of the activity of the original sample)

Substituting values;

0.693/14.3 = 2.303/t log Ao/0.0734Ao

0.693/14.3 = 2.303/t log 1/0.0734

0.693/14.3 = 2.6/t

0.048=2.6/t

t= 2.6/0.048

t= 54 days

A typical aspirin tablet contains 327 mg of acetylsalicylic acid, HC9H7O4. Calculate the pH of a solution that is prepared by di
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

2.8

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the molarity of the acetylsalicylic acid solution.

M = mass of solute (g) / molar mass of solute × volume of solution (L)

M = 0.327 g / 180.158 g/mol × 0.237 L

M = 7.66 × 10⁻³ M

For a weak acid such as acetylsalicylic acid, we can find the concentration of H⁺ using the following expression.

[H⁺] = √(Ca × Ka)

where,

Ca: concentration of the acid

Ka: acid dissociation constant

[H⁺] = √(7.66 × 10⁻³ × 3.3 × 10⁻⁴)

[H⁺] = 1.6 × 10⁻³ M

The pH is:

pH = -log [H⁺]

pH = -log 1.6 × 10⁻³ = 2.8

This drawing shows a human body system.
White raven [17]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of the drawing  referred to in the question.

However, each option refers to a particular respiratory system and with the organs and the tissues mentioned here one can eventually identify which option is correct when the drawing is available.

A) The system described here is the cardiovascular system (or the circulatory system). This system involves the heart, blood vessels and the blood (which are what help in the transport of the materials mentioned in the question).

B) The system described here is the digestive system. This system involves the gastrointestinal tract and organs (that assist in the production/secretion or storage of chemicals that breakdown food into smaller pieces) such as the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum and the anus.

C) The system described here is the skeletal system. This system involves all the bones and joint in the body (the skeleton) which also helps in protecting organs in the body.

D) The system described here is the Endocrine system. This system involves several internal glands (such as the thyroid gland and the adrenal glands) in the body.

NOTE: Identify which organ and/or tissue is present in the diagram and use that to select the appropriate option from the description of each of the options provided above.
