The balloon Spirit of Freedom, flown around the world by American Steve Fossett in 2002, contained 550,000 cubic feet of helium.

How much PΔV work was done by the balloon on the surrounding atmosphere, assuming atmospheric pressure was 1.00 atm while the balloon was being inflated?

Assuming the balloon initially has volume of 0 when deflated, the total P(deltaV) = (1.00 atm)(550,000 ft^3) = 550,000 atm-ft^3. To convert into work units, we can first convert ft^3 to L:
(550,000 atm-ft^3)(1 m/3.28 ft)^3
= (15,586.2 atm-m^3)
Then we convert to L:
(15,586.2 atm-m^3)(1000 L/m^3)
= 15,586,200 atm-L
Then we convert to J:
(15,586,200 atm-L)(101.325 J / 1 atm-L)
= 1.579 x 10^9 J

Select the correct answer. When an atom in a reactant loses electrons, what happens to its oxidation number? A. Its oxidation nu
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

C. Its oxidation number increases.

Explanation:

  • <em><u>Oxidation is defined as the loss of electrons by an atom while reduction is the gain of electrons by an atom</u></em>.
  • Atoms of elements have an oxidation number of Zero in their elemental state.
  • When an atom looses electrons it undergoes oxidation and its oxidation number increases.
  • For example, <em><u>an atom of sodium (Na) at its elemental state has an oxidation number of 0. When the sodium atom looses an electrons it becomes a cation, Na+, with an oxidation number of +1 , the loss of electron shows an increase in oxidation number from 0 to +1.</u></em>

What are the benefits of scientists using the metric system worldwide?select all that apply
denis-greek [22]

There are several scales to determine the weight of material. The chose of the weight scale depends upon the size of the material. Like if we have to measure the molecular or atomic weight of  a molecule or atom we use gm. Like that for the bigger molecules like proteins the weight of the molecule is expressed by different scale due to its big size. Like that for big material like iron rods etc we generally use kilograms or ton. There are two types of measuring units one is C.G.S. and another is S.I. The S.I. units are more acceptable worldwide than that the C.G.S. units as the digit comes in SI units are easily handable than that of CGS.

Thus metric is used to determine a large weight of compounds which is a SI unit and handable.

Calcium carbonate interacts with omadacycline (Nuzyra). How should this interaction be avoided?(Interactions) hint look up omada
stellarik [79]

Answer: An interaction is caused between the two medications (Calcium carbonate and Omadacycline) and causes serious negative side effects, due to the fact that when the two are taken together the body is unable to process the antibiotic therefore causing a reduction in the concentration of antiobiotics in the blood stream. this causes a reduction the body's ability to fight off the infection. In addition, drug interactions with calcium increase the risk of dangerously high calcium levels in the blood and disrupt the body´s basal state.

Explanation:

Omadacycline is a broad spectrum antibiotic. It belongs to the tetracycline group and specifically to the aminomethylcycline subclass and is used mainly in the treatment of  treatment of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia and acute skin and skin structure infections. the mecanism of action of Omadacycline works like every other tetracycline antiobiotic. It inhibits the bacterial protein synthesis thereby rendurig the bacteria useless and thus stopping the replicaton of these bacterias.

Calcium carbonate on the other hand, is usuallly administered as a dietary supplement when the corporal levels of calcium do not reach sufficient levels.  It may also be used as an antacid to relieve heartburn, acid indigestion, and nausea. It is available with or without a prescription and is available in many forms for example;  as a tablet, chewable tablet, capsule or as a liquid.

Calcium is vital for healthy bones, muscles, nervous system, and heart. Calcium is involved in cardiac muscle contraction and electrical impulse conduction.

When calcium carbonate is taken with Omadacycline causes a significant increase in the levels of calcium in the blood. Excess levels of calcium interfere with the absorption of the antibiotic  because calcium binds to the tetracycline in the intestine causing a reduction in the efectiveness. Failure to control the infection could lead to severe side effects whether temporary or permanent and in extreme cases death.

<h3>Calcium carbonate SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN WITH </h3>
  • Bisphosphonates
  • Fluoroquinolone antibiotics
  • H2 blockers
  • Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)
  • Tetracycline antiobiotics (Omadacycline- Nuzyra)
  • Thiazide diuretics

In conclusion, calcium carbonate should not be taken with tetracycline antiobiotics in this case Omadacycline because it causes an ncrease in calcium levels which binds to the antibiotic therefore reducing its absorption by the intestine and reducing its effect in fighting off the infection. The antiobiotic should be taken two hours before the calcium carbonate or about four to six hours after.

Which statement is the best description of a chemical reaction? A.The combustion of a substance B.The decomposition of particles
Andrej [43]
Hi there!

The answer would be D. Forming or breaking bonds.

When forming or breaking bonds, a new substance is created and it’s no longer just a physical change. Sometimes when bonds are breaking and new ones are forming there can be a change in composition.

Hope this helps !
