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.

CO is a primary pollutant.
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

True

Carbon monoxide is a primary pollutant which no odor results from incomplete combustion of fuel. The man sources are gasoline and burning of biomass.

Depending on the source of emission, pollutants can be classified into two groups that is primary and secondary pollutants.

A primary pollutant is emitted in the atmosphere directly from a source. It can be either natural sch as volcanic eruptions, sandstorms or man-made that is due to industrial and vehicle emissions.  Examples of primary pollutants are nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and particulate matter.

Secondary pollutant is due to interactions between primary and secondary pollutants. These can be chemical or physical interactions. Examples are photo-chemical oxidants and secondary particulate matter.

Therefore, carbon monoxide CO is a primary pollutant.

For each pair, choose the compound with the smaller lattice energy, and explain your choice: (b) K₂O or K₂S.
dlinn [17]

the compound with the smaller lattice energy is potassium sulphide here the size of the molecule play a important role

The quantity of energy released by the electrostatic attraction of oppositely charged ions is known as lattice energy (L.E). The ion's size and charge affect the lattice energy.

lattice energy is inversely proportional to   size of ion and directly proportional to charge of the ion. They are each charged equally that is plus two and minus two However, because the Sulphur is larger in size  and the oxygen is lesser in this case, The lattice energy of potassium oxide is larger  the lattice energy of potassium sulphide  is smaller.

After mitosis, you have 2 cells that are the same as the parent cell. Why is it that your first cell was not the same as your pa
ladessa [460]

Answer:

During MITOSIS, the parent, diploid (2n), cell is divided to create two identical, diploid (2n), daughter cells. ... After cytokinesis, the ploidy of the daughter cells remains the same because each daughter cell contains 4 chromatids, as the parent cell did.

Read the selection from the section "Molecules In Motion." The molecules in the hot soup are traveling faster overall than they
Hoochie [10]

Answer: The author used the word "conversely" because the first statement he made is in CONTRAST to the second statement he made.

Explanation:

Matter is made up of atoms or molecules that are in constant motion. The motion of these tiny particles ( molecules) gives the object energy. The movement of these molecules depends on the state of matter which includes

--> GASEOUS STATE: Here, the particles are completely free to move and are always in motion.

--> LIQUID STATE: particles in this state slide by one another and are always in motion.

--> SOLID STATE: particles in this state are held tightly together but are always in motion.

Also, the molecules in motion are greatly affected by temperature changes. Increase in temperature will cause the particles in the liquid to move faster. Such is seen when soup is heated, the molecules travel faster than before. But the OPPOSITE is seen in an ice cube. This is because the ice cube is in solid state and of a lower temperature.
