Answer:

C. Gas exchange occurs through the placenta.

Explanation:

The fetus is a developing baby in the womb or uterus. The fetus is incapable of performing certain life processes itself and hence, depends on the mother to do them. One of these processes is GAS EXCHANGE. Gas exchange occurs in the fetus via a structure called PLACENTA.

Placenta is a structure that forms in the uterus during pregnancy. It helps the developing fetus supply oxygen and nutrients from the mother and also remove wastes from the fetus back to the mother. The oxygen is taken into the fetus via the PLACENTA while the carbon dioxide (waste product of respiration) is removed via the PLACENTA. Hence, Gas exchange occurs through the placenta.

What is the amount of heat required to complete MELT a 200 gram sample of H2O(s)

wolverine [178]

Answer:

66800 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 200 g

Heat (Q) required =?

The heat required to melt the 200 g sample of water can be obtained as:

Mass (m) = 200 g

Latent heat of water (L) = 334 J/g

Heat (Q) required =?

Q = mL

Q = 200 × 334

Q = 66800 J

Thus, 66800 J of heat energy is required to melt the sample of water.

What volume does 4.24g of argon gas occupy at 58.2 degrees celcuis and 1528torr

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

V = 1.434 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of argon = 4.24 g

Temperature = 58.2 °C

Pressure = 1528 torr

Volume = ?

Solution:

58.2 °C = 58.2 + 273 = 331.2 K

1528/760= 2.01 atm

Number of moles:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 4.24 g / 39.948 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.106 mol

Volume:

PV = nRT

V = nRT/P

V = 0.106 mol ×0.0821. atm. L. mol⁻¹. K⁻¹ × 331.2K/ 2.01 atm

V = 2.88 atm L/ 2.01 atm

V = 1.434 L

Consider this equilibrium reaction between carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas, occurring in a sealed flexible container. CO(g) + 3

wariber [46]

Answer:

More H2(g) is added to the container : Towards products.

CO is removed from the container : Towards reactants.

More CH4(g) is added to the container : Towards reactants

H2O(g) is removed from the container : Towards products.

The contents of the container are heated up. : Towards the reactants.

The contents of the container are cooled down : Towards the products.

The pressure inside the container is increased. :Towards the products

The container is stretched to increase the volume: Towards the reactants.

Explanation: :

CO(g) + 3 H2g) → CH4(g) + H2O(g)+ heat

There is released heat, so this reaction is exothermic

If the H2 concentration is increased, the system will try to change the concentration change by shifting the balance to the right, and thus the concentration of products will increase. Towards products.

If the CO is removed, the system will try to change this situation by shifting the balance to the left, and thus the concentration of reactants will increase, the concentration of products will decrease. Towards reactants.

If the CH4 concentration is increased, the system will try to change the concentration change by shifting the balance to the left, and thus the concentration of reactants will increase. Towards reactants

If the H2O is removed, the system will try to change this situation by shifting the balance to the right, and thus the concentration of products will increase, the concentration of products will decrease. Towards products.

If the temperature is increased, the system will reduce the amount of heat released. So the balance will shift to the left. Towards the reactants.

This because the extra heat / energy must be used.

If the temperature is decreased, the system will produce more heat So the balance will shift to the right. Towards the products.

This because more heat /energy needs to be produced to make up for the loss of heat (energy).

If the pressure is increased, the system will shift to the side with fewer moles of gas. In this case, there are 4 moles on the left and 2 moles on the right. So the balance will shift to the right. Towards the products. An increase of pressure has the same effect on the equilibrium as a decrease of the volume.

If the volume is increased, this means the pressure is decreased, the system will shift to the side with most moles of gas. In this case, there are 4 moles on the left and 2 moles on the right. So the balance will shift to the left. Towards the reactants. An increase of volume has the same effect on the equilibrium as a decrease of the pressure.
