A field worker is exposed to a xylene for a duration of 8 weeks at 40 hrs/wk. The concentration of xylene in the workplace is 40

μg/m3. The worker is inhaling air at a rate of 0.9 m3/hr. Assuming 70 kg body mass, the chronic daily intake (CDI) [mg/(kg-d)] during the period of exposure is most nearly.

Answer:

The chronic daily intake during the period of exposure is most nearly 0.012 mg/kg day.

Explanation:

Number of hours worker exposed to xylene = 40 hr/week\times 8 week = 320 hours

The concentration of xylene in the workplace =40 \mu g/m^3

The worker is inhaling air at a rate of 0.9 m^3/hr.

Amount xylene inhaled by worker in an hour :

= 40\mu g/m^3\times 0.9 m^3/hr=36 \mu g/hr

Amount xylene inhaled by worker in 320 hours:

36 \mu g/hr\times 320 hr=11,520 \mu g=11,520\times 0.001 mg=11.520 mg

1 μg = 0.001 mg

Amount xylene inhaled by worker in 320 hours = 11.520 mg

1 day = 24 hours

Amount xylene inhaled by worker in 1 day:

\frac{24}{320}\times 11.520 mg=0.864 mg

Assuming 70 kg body mass, the chronic daily intake of xylene :

\frac{0.864 mg/day}{70 kg}=0.01234 mg/ kg day\approx 0.012 mg/ kg day

The chronic daily intake during the period of exposure is most nearly 0.012 mg/kg day.

Write 0.000443200 to two significant figures
Tju [1.3M]
0.00044


Zeros to the right of the decimal place are not significant UNLESS they are found in between or after a non-zero number, therefore, we take the 3200 away because those ARE significant so then after you round your answer (if needed) you're left with only two numbers that are significant.

A 7.00-mL portion of 8.00 M stock solution is to be diluted to 0.800 M. What will be the final volume after dilution? Enter your
amm1812

Explanation:

The number of moles of solute present in liter of solution is defined as molarity.

Mathematically,         Molarity = \frac{\text{no. of moles}}{\text{Volume in liter}}

Also, when number of moles are equal in a solution then the formula will be as follows.

                     M_{1} \times V_{1} = M_{2} \times V_{2}

It is given that M_{1} is 8.00 M, V_{1} is 7.00 mL, and M_{2} is 0.80 M.

Hence, calculate the value of V_{2} using above formula as follows.

                    M_{1} \times V_{1} = M_{2} \times V_{2}

                 8.00 M \times 7.00 mL = 0.80 M \times V_{2}

                      V_{2} = \frac{56 M. mL}{0.80 M}

                                  = 70 ml

Thus, we can conclude that the volume after dilution is 70 ml.

In the presence of oxygen, the three-carbon compound pyruvate can be catabolized in the citric acid cycle. First, however, the p
Flura [38]

Answer:1.

Explanation: This reaction is catalyzes by pyruvate dehydrogenase. Pyruvate being the end product of glycolysis has many fates after glycolysis,one of which is to enter the TCA(Tricarboxylic acid cycle) cycle. It is first converted to actetate by the action of pyruvate dehydrogenase. This enzyme converts pyruvate to acetate releasing CO2 and NADH because this oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate is coupled with reduction of NAD+ which can feed into the electron transport chain.
