Define the term homeostasis

Chemistry
1 answer:
8_murik_8 [283]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The ability and tendency of certain systems to maintain a relatively constant internal state in spite of changes in external conditions; this ability is achieved by the presence of feedback mechanisms which can adjust the state of the system to compensate for changes in the state caused by the external environment. It is exemplified in homeothermal biological systems, such as animals which maintain relatively constant blood temperature and composition in spite of variations in external temperature or the composition of the food ingested.

A gas at 1.2 atm has a
Papessa [141]

Answer:

1.26 mole

Explanation:

Using ideal gas law

PV=nRT

R= 0.08206

T=273+87=360

1.2×31=n×0.08206×360

37.2 =n × 29.54

n= 1.26 mole

An actacide tablet containing Mg(OH)2 (MM = 58.3g / (mol)) is titrated with a 0.100 M solution of HNO3. The end point is determi
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

0.0583g

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

2HNO3(aq) + Mg(OH)2(aq) -------> Mg(NO3)2(aq) + 2H2O(l)

From the question, number of moles of HNO3 reacted= concentration × volume

Concentration of HNO3= 0.100 M

Volume of HNO3 = 20.00mL

Number of moles of HNO3= 0.100 × 20/1000

Number of moles of HNO3 = 2×10^-3 moles

From the reaction equation;

2 moles of HNO3 reacts with 1 mole of Mg(OH)2

2×10^-3 moles reacts with 2×10^-3 moles ×1/2 = 1 ×10^-3 moles of Mg(OH)2

But

n= m/M

Where;

n= number of moles of Mg(OH)2

m= mass of Mg(OH)2

M= molar mass of Mg(OH)2

m= n×M

m= 1×10^-3 moles × 58.3 gmol-1

m = 0.0583g

ad-work [718]
<h2>NH3 is a weak alkali that does not dissociate fully into its solution. Which of the following is true about NH3? </h2><h2> </h2><h2>A. It has a very low pH. </h2><h2>B. It's dissociation is a reversible reaction. </h2><h2>C. It has a high H+ concentration. </h2><h2>D. It will release all of its OH- ions.</h2>

Explanation:

<h3>NH3 is a weak alkali that does not dissociate fully into its solution: It's dissociation is a reversible reaction. </h3><h3></h3>

Reactions are also :

  • Reversible
  • Irreversible

Reversible reaction

A reaction in which products can combine back to give reactants under same given condition .

Example : N₂+H₂-------NH₃

Irreversible reaction

A reaction in which the products cant combine back to give reactants under same set of conditions .

Example : Burning of paper
