Answer:

D. increase of carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Breathing is automatic and is controlled subconsciously by respiratory center at base of brain. It continues during the time of the sleep and even when the person is not in conscious. Sensory organs in brain and in aorta and  the carotid arteries monitor blood and sense the oxygen and the carbon dioxide levels. <u>Usually, increased concentration of the carbon dioxide is the strongest stimulus for the breathing to occur more deeply and more frequently.  </u>

When carbon dioxide concentration in the blood is high, the brain increases the frequency and the depth of breaths.

What mass of HCl is neutralized by 3.33 g Mg(OH)2?
postnew [5]
First, you write the balanced equation for the reaction

2HCl + Mg(OH)2 ----->MgCl2 + 2H2O


Next, find the number of moles of Magnesium Hydroxide

Number of moles of Mg(OH)2 =

mass / Mr = 3.33 / 24 +2(1+16)
=0.0574 mol

Find the mole ratio between HCl and Mg(OH)2 which is 1:2

Number of moles of HCl = 0.0574 x 2 = 0.1148 mol

Mass of HCl = Mr x no. of moles
=0.1148 x (1+35.5)
=4.19 g

The skeletal structure in line-angle (line-bond) mode of 2,3,3,5-tetramethylhexane is shown. Identify the number of hydrogen ato
Kruka [31]

Answer:

There are 22 hydrogen in 2,3,3,5-tetramethylhexane (C10H22)

From the left to the right of the skeletal structure:

1st Main Carbon = 3 hydrogen

2nd Main Carbon = 1 hydrogen

1st Branch Carbon = 3 hydrogen

3rd Main Carbon = 2 hydrogen

2nd Branch Carbon = 3 hydrogen

3rd Branch Carbon = 3 hydrogen

4th Main Carbon = 0 hydrogen

4th Branch Carbon = 3 hydrogen

5th Main Carbon = 1 hydrogen

6th Main Carbon = 3 hydrogen

Total = 22 hydrogen

Explanation:

This is the skeletal formula for 2,3,3,5-tetramethylhexane - the 2D chemical structure. It is an organic compound. The carbon atoms in the structure are known as the carbon backbone. The hydrogen atoms are linked to the carbon backbone. This provides each carbon atom with four bonds.
