Jlenok [28]4 years ago

Explanation:

  • One of the main differences between adult and fetal circulation is <em>the direction and where the non-oxygenated and oxygenated blood circulates</em>. In adults arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart and veins carry non-oxygenated blood towards the heart; in fetuses, arteries carry non-oxygenated blood away from the heart and veins carry oxygenated blood back to the heart.
  • Another difference is <em>where does the exchange of gases takes place</em>, in fetuses blood is oxygenated in the placenta, in adults in the lungs.
  • The circulation between adults and fetuses differs in <em>where does the pressure increases</em>, in adults is on the left side of the heart, in fetuses on the right side.
  • Finally,<em> another important difference between adults and fetuses is the presence of shunts</em>, in fetuses these shunts allow both sides of the heart to work parallelly letting mix blood from both ventricles. This shunt gets closed after birth, so adults do not have them.

I hope you find this information useful! Good luck!

You are required to make 10mL of a 0.5M solution of HCl. Your stock solution of HCl is 90M. Using distilled water (dH2O) as a so
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

0.0556 mL of 90 M HCl would be taken and 9.944 mL distilled water added to make 0.5 M, 10 mL HCl solution.

Explanation:

From the dilution equation:

<em>Initial molarity (m1) x initial volume (v1) = final molarity (m2) x final volume (v2).</em>

In this case, m1 = 90 M, v1 = ?, m2 = 0.5 M, and v2 = 10 mL

v1 = m2 x v2/ m1 = 0.5 x 0.01/90 = 0.0000556 L

v1 = 0.0556 mL

This means that the initial volume of 90 M HCl to be taken is 0.0556 mL. Since the final volume to be prepared is 10 mL,

 10 - 0.0556 = 9.944 mL

<em>Hence, 0.0556 mL of 90 M HCl would be taken and 9.944 mL distilled water added to make 0.5 M, 10 mL HCl solution.</em>
