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.

"A base is a substance that produce OH-ions." Which definition of a base is this?

Andru [333]

Answer:

C. Arrhenius

An Arrhenius base is a substance that dissociates in water to form hydroxide (OH–) ions. In other words, a base increases the concentration of OH– ions in an aqueous solution.

Calculate the percent of each component in the mixture. Show your calculations. Circle final answers.

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The question is incomplete; as the mixtures are not given.

However, I'll give a general explanation on how to go about it and I'll also give an example.

The percentage of a component in a mixture is calculated as:

$\%C_E = \frac{E}{T} * 100\%$

Where

E = Amount of element/component

T = Amount of all elements/components

Take for instance:

In $(Ca(OH)_2)$

The amount of all elements is: (i.e formula mass of $(Ca(OH)_2)$ )

$T = 1 * Ca + 2 * H + 2 * O$

$T = 1 * 40 + 2 * 1 + 2 * 16$

$T = 74$

The amount of calcium is: (i.e formula mass of calcium)

$E = 1 * Ca$

$E = 1 * 40$

$E = 40$

So, the percentage component of calcium is:

$\%C_E = \frac{E}{T} * 100\%$

$\%C_E = \frac{40}{74} * 100\%$

$\%C_E = \frac{4000}{74}\%$

$\%C_E = 54.05\%$

The amount of hydrogen is:

$E = 2 * H$

$E = 2 * 1$

$E = 2$

So, the percentage component of hydrogen is:

$\%C_E = \frac{E}{T} * 100\%$

$\%C_E = \frac{2}{74} * 100\%$

$\%C_E = \frac{200}{74}\%$

$\%C_E = 2.70\%$

Similarly, for oxygen:

The amount of oxygen is:

$E = 2 * O$

$E = 2 * 16$

$E = 32$

So, the percentage component of oxygen is:

$\%C_E = \frac{E}{T} * 100\%$

$\%C_E = \frac{32}{74} * 100\%$

$\%C_E = \frac{3200}{74}\%$

$\%C_E = 43.24\%$
