Answer:
Potassium was the first metal to be isolated by electrolysis. It was discovered by the English chemist Sir Humphry Davy by decomposing molten potassium hydroxide (KOH) with a voltaic battery.
Explanation:
Answer:
Option A.
Explanation:
Option A directly tests the cause and effect. Option B simply argues it argumentatively without any solid evidence to show cause and effect. Option C only shows correlation and Option D only shows correlation as well.
Answer:
CH3CHO+H2O → CH3OCH3 - addition
CH,CICH CI + Zn → C2H4 + ZnCl2 - elimination
CH3CH3Br + OH – CH3CH3OH + Br - substitution
2CH2COOH >>(CH3CO)20 + H20 - condensation
Explanation:
An addition reaction is a reaction in which a specie is added across the double bond as we can see in CH3CHO+H2O → CH3OCH3.
In an elimination reaction, a small molecule is lost from a saturated compound to form the corresponding unsaturated compound as in CH,CICH CI + Zn → C2H4 + ZnCl2
In a substitution reaction, a chemical moiety replaces another in a molecule as in; CH3CH3Br + OH – CH3CH3OH + Br .
A condensation reaction is in which two molecules are joined together to form a bigger molecule as in; 2CH2COOH >>(CH3CO)20 + H20.
Answer:
a. slows diffusion
Explanation:
Gas exchange on respiratory surfaces in the body (the lungs) occurs through a process known as diffusion. Blood which is low in oxygen and high in carbondioxide (carried from cells) goes through an exchange in the lung's alveoli (where oxygen concentration is high and carbondioxide is low). The oxygen in the alveoli diffuses into the blood, while the carbondioxide in the blood diffuses into the alveoli. This diffusion is possible because of the concentration gradient across the membranes.
Pneumonia is the inflammation of the lungs due to injury or infection. Liquid (pus) accumulates in the alveoli (a natural immune response to the infection or injury), a condition known as pulmonary edema which makes it harder for gases to be exchanged between the blood and the alveoli, thereby making breathing difficult. This slows down diffusion and if the condition is severe enough, can cause a respiratory failure where oxygen levels in the blood are critically low and carbondioxide levels are very high.
