A 26-week-old baby was brought to the pediatric clinic because of increasing lethargy and cyanosis. The infant has been in good

health at birth, and the mother had attempted breast-feeding. A blood sample was collected and a positive test for methemoglobinemia was obtained. The baby then was treated with intravenous ascorbate and methylene blue. Within 2 days the child was alert, and the cyanosis had disappeared. It is known that methemoglobin has absorption spectra maxima at 500 nm and 631 nm. Answer the following questions:_______.
1. What is the chemical difference between hemoglobin and methemoglobin, and how do their oxygen capacities compare?
2. How do you analyze the sample blood to detect methemoglobin?
3. What is the cause of the cyanosis associated with toxic methemoglobinemia?
4. What is the biochemical basis for treatment of toxic methemoglobinemia with ascorbate and methylene blue?

It takes 60 mL of 0.20 M of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to neutralize 25 mL of carbonic acid (H2CO3) for the following chemical reac
Rashid [163]

It requires 60 mL of 0.20 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to neutralize 25 mL of carbonic acid (H_2CO_3), hence the carbonate ions concentration is 0.24M.

Given:

Reaction:

\to \bold{2NaOH + H_2CO_3 \to Na_2CO_3 + 2H_20 }

NaOH volume (V_B) = 60 \ ml  

H_2CO_3 Volume (V_A) = 25\ ml  

NaOH Molarity (C_B) = 0.20\ M

H_2CO_3 moles (n_A) = 1

NaOH moles (n_B) = 2

To find:

H_2CO_3 Molarity (C_A) =?

Solution:

Using the neutralization reaction:  

\to \frac{C_AV_A}{C_BV_B} =\frac{n_A}{n_B} \\\\

\to C_B = 0.2\ M \\\\ \to  n_A = 1 \\\\ \to  n_B = 2 \\\\ \to  V_B = 60\ ml \\\\  \to  V_A = 25\ ml

Calculating the C_A:

 \to \frac{C_A \times 25}{0.2  \times 60} =\frac{1}{2} \\\\\to C_A =\frac{1 \times 0.2 \times 60}{2 \times 25}  \\\\\to C_A =\frac{1 \times 2 \times 12}{2 \times 5 \times 10} \\\\ \to C_A =\frac{ 12}{ 5 \times 10} \\\\\to C_A = \frac{6}{5 \times 5} \\\\\to C_A = \frac{6}{25} \\\\\to C_A=0.24\ M

Therefore, the concentration of carbonic acid is "0.24M".

What is the percentage by mass of silicon (si) in iron aluminum silicate (Fe3Al2(SiO4)3)?
Ilya [14]

Answer:

16.93%.

Explanation:

  • If we have 1.0  mol of Fe₃Al₂(SiO₄)₃:

∴ The mass of 1.0 mol of Fe₃Al₂(SiO₄)₃ = (no. of moles of Fe₃Al₂(SiO₄)₃)(the molecular mass of Fe₃Al₂(SiO₄)₃)

∴ The mass of 1.0 mol of Fe₃Al₂(SiO₄)₃ = (1)(the molecular mass of Fe₃Al₂(SiO₄)₃) = (the molecular mass of Fe₃Al₂(SiO₄)₃).

∴ The mass of 1.0 mol of Fe₃Al₂(SiO₄)₃ = 3(atomic weight of Fe) + 2(atomic weight of Al) + 3(molecular weight of (SiO₄)₃) = 497.7474 g.

The mass of Si in 1.0 mole of Fe₃Al₂(SiO₄)₃ = 3(atomic mass of Si) = 3(28.0855 g/mol) = 84.2565 g.

∵ The mass % of Si = (the mass of Si)/(the mass of Fe₃Al₂(SiO₄)₃) = (84.2565 g)/(497.7474 g) = 16.93%.

Which term best describes an animal that eats dead and decaying meat? A. predator B. producer C. decomposer D. scavenger
marta [7]
These types of animals are referred to as D. scavengers.

Scavenger animals are adapted to feed on dead and decaying meat and usually feed on the carcasses left over by predatory animals. An example is how vultures pick off the meat from a zebra carcass that has been left over after a lion pack has finished eating from it.

How to know how many valence electrons are in an element
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Hope it helped

Explanation:

For neutral atoms, the number of valence electrons is equal to the atom's main group number. The main group number for an element can be found from its column on the periodic table. For example, carbon is in group 4 and has 4 valence electrons. Oxygen is in group 6 and has 6 valence electrons.
