Humans breathe about 500 mL of air per breath and take about 12 breaths per minute during normal activities. If a person is expo

sed to an atmosphere containing benzene at a concentration of 10 ppm (by volume), how many grams of benzene will be deposited in the lungs during an 8-hour shift if all the benzene that enters remains in the lungs

Answer:

mass of benzene in the lungs = 28.8 g of benzene

Explanation:

Volume of air breathed per hour = 500 mL * 12 * 60 = 360000 ml = 360 Litres of air

In 8 hours, volume of breathed air = 360 L * 8 = 2880 Litres of air

Concentration of benzene in air = 10 ppm

Note:  1 ppm = 1 mg per liter (mg/L)

10 ppm = 10 mg/L

Therefore, mass of benzene in the lungs in an 8-hour shift = 10 mg/L * 2880 L

mass of benzene in the lungs = 28800 mg

Converting to grams = 28800/1000

mass of benzene in the lungs = 28.8 g of benzene

Mitosis occurs during which phase?
lara [203]

Answer:

Prophase

Explanation:

Prophase is the first stage in mitosis, occurring after the conclusion of the G2 portion of interphase. During prophase, the parent cell chromosomes — which were duplicated during S phase — condense and become thousands of times more compact than they were during interphase.

A metal atom loses electrons from its outermost energy level and acquires a...... Charge. These electrons join a nonmetal atom.
sp2606 [1]

Answer : A metal atom loses electrons from its outermost energy level and acquires a Positive Charge. These electrons join a nonmetal atom. The ionic compound formed because of this transfer of electrons is electrically Neutral.

Explanation :

All the elements try to acquire octet state by gaining or losing electrons. For metals, the number of valence electrons are less and it is easier to lose these electrons.

When electrons are lost, the number of protons become more than the electrons. This creates an excess of positive charge. As a result the species becomes positively charged and is known as cation.

During formation of ionic bond, metals always form a positive ion (cation) by losing electrons. These electrons are accepted by the nonmetals and they become negatively charged. A negatively charged ion is known as anion and nonmetals always form an anion.

These are attracted to each other due to the opposite charges present on them. In an ionic compound they balance the charges on each other making the compound neutral.

From the above discussion, we can fill in the blanks as follows.

A metal atom loses electrons from its outermost energy level and acquires a Positive Charge. These electrons join a nonmetal atom. The ionic compound formed because of this transfer of electrons is electrically Neutral.
