When inhaled, crystalline silica can cause scar tissue to form on what organs?

Chemistry
1 answer:
julsineya [31]3 years ago
5 0

Crystalline silica is hazardous when small particles are inhaled. They can penetrate deep into the lungs and cause disabling and sometimes fatal lung diseases including silicosis, lung cancer and kidney disease. The particles of crystalline silica enters the lungs and causes the formation of scar tissue known as silicosis, thus reducing the lungs’ ability to take in oxygen.

As a scuba diver descends under water, the pressure increases. At a total air pressure of 2.71 atm and a temperature of 25.0 C,
Semenov [28]

Answer:

1.32\times 10^{-3} mol/Lis the solubility of nitrogen gas in a diver's blood.

Explanation:

Henry's law states that the amount of gas dissolved or molar solubility of gas is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the liquid.

To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:

C_{N_2}=K_H\times p_{liquid}

where,

K_H = Henry's constant = 6.26 \times 10^{-4}mol/L.atm

p_{N_2} = partial pressure of nitrogen

p_{N_2}= P\times \chi_{N_2} (Raoult's law)

=2.71 atm\times 0.78=2.1138 atm

C_{N_2}=6.26 \times 10^{-4}mol/L.atm\times 2.1138 atm

C_{N_2}=1.32\times 10^{-3} mol/L

1.32\times 10^{-3} mol/Lis the solubility of nitrogen gas in a diver's blood.

Cu + 2AgNO3 →
netineya [11]

Answer: 292.54g of Ag

Explanation:

Cu + 2AgNO3 →Cu(NO3)2 + 2 Ag

mass conc. Of Ag = n x molar Mass

Mass conc. Of Ag = 2 x 108 = 216g

From the equation,

63.5g of Cu produced 216g of Ag

Therefore, 86g of Cu will produce Xg of Ag. i.e

Xg of Ag = (86 x 216)/63.5 = 292.54g

Describe the term molarity as it relates to an acid or base.
Sidana [21]
Molarity is expressed as the number of moles of solute per volume of the solution. For example, we are given a solution of 2M NaOH this describes a solution that has 2 moles of NaOH per 1 L volume of the solution. Acids and bases can be measured through the concentrations of H+ and OH- ions in units of molarity. Hope this helps.
