Calcium levels in people are normally distributed with a mean of 9.5 mg/dL and a standard deviation of 0.3 mg/dL. Individuals wi

th calcium levels in the bottom 10% of the population are considered to have low calcium levels. Find the calcium level that is the borderline between low calcium levels and those not considered low. Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to one decimal place.

Answer:

9.1 mg/dL

Explanation:

A normal distribution is symmetrical, the area below the curve of negative Z-scores is equal to the area below the curve of positive Z-scores, Z measures the statistic observed and the parameter of the population.

And it is:

Z = (x - μ)/σ

where μ is the mean (9.5 mg/dL), x is the borderline, and σ is the standard deviation, which is 0.3 mg/dL.

The Z-score can be calculated in excel by the function =NORMSINV, and the factor will be the percente considered (10% = 0.1)

NORMSINV(0.1) = -1.28155

So,

-1.28155 = (x - 9.5)/0.3

x - 9.5 = -0.384465

x = 9.1 mg/dL

The student's lab manual says to mix some of his Na2CO3 solution with an aqueous solution of copper(II) sulfate (CuSO4)
lord [1]

Explanation:

When the student mixed the solution sodium carbonate with solution of copper(II) sulfate ; Copper Hydroxocarbonate , sodium sulfate and carbon dioxide gas was obtained as a products.

The balanced chemical reaction

2Na_2CO_3+2CuSO_4\rightarrow Cu_2(OH)_2CO_3+2Na_2SO_4+CO_2

Where:

Cu_2(OH)_2CO_3 = Copper(II) Hydroxocarbonate

Na_2CO_3 = Sodium carbonate

CuSO_4 = Copper(II) sulfate

Na_2SO_4 = Sodium sulfate

CO_2 = Carbon-dioxide

What is the volume (in dm3 of 1 mole of oxygen at 5 MPa and 200 K?
vodka [1.7K]

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of oxygen gas is 0.332dm^3

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the volume of the gas, we use the equation given by ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 5 MPa = 5000 kPa   (Conversion factor: 1 MPa = 1000 kPa)

V = Volume of gas = 3.34 L

n = number of moles of oxygen gas = 1 mole

R = Gas constant = 8.31dm^3\text{ kPa }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

T = Temperature of the gas = 200 K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

5000kPa\times V=1mol\times 8.31dm^3\text{ kPa }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 200K\\\\V=0.332dm^3

Hence, the volume of oxygen gas is 0.332dm^3

A geological sample is found to have a Pb-206/U-238 mass ratio of 0.337/1.00. Assuming there was no Pb-206 present when the samp
azamat

Answer:

Age=2.52*10^9 years

Explanation:

To determine the age, we need to know how much U have become Pb, so first we have to calculate the Pb moles present in a sample:

n_{Pb}=\frac{0.337g}{206g/mol}=0.00164 mol

n_{U}=\frac{1 g}{238g/mol}=0.0042 mol

The percentage of U degradation:

P=\frac{n_{Pb}}{n_{Pb}+n_{U}}

P=\frac{0.00164}{0.00164+0.0042}=0.28

Assuming that the life time is linear:

Age=\frac{4.5*10^9 years}{0.5 life time}*0.28 life time

Age=2.52*10^9 years
