Which best describes how a fetus exchanges gases while in the womb?

Chemistry

5 0

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.

4.65 L of nitrogen at standard pressure is compressed into a 0.480 L container. What is the new pressure in kPa?
Semenov [28]
Assuming that nitrogen gas is ideal, we can use the equation PV = nRT to relate first conditions to the second condition. At constant temperature, pressure and volume are indirectly related as follows:

P = k / V

k is equal nRT

P1V1 = P2V2
P2 = 101.325 ( 4.65 ) / .480 = 981.586 kPa

If it requires 75.0mL of 0.500M NaOH to neutralize 165.0 mL of an hcl solution what is the concentration of the hcl solution
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

0.027 M HCl

Explanation:

The chemical equation of the neutralization is:

1 NaOH + 1 HCl -> 1 H2O + 1 NaCl

Because the ratio of NaOH and HCl is 1:1 you can use the M1V1=M2V2 formula.

(75 mL)(0.5 M NaOH) = (165 mL)(M HCl)

It requires 0.027 M HCl.

If 12.6 grams of iron (III) oxide reacts with 9.65 grams of carbon monoxide to produce 7.23 g of pure iron, what are the theoret
Mariana [72]
The balanced equation is Fe₂O₃ + 3 CO = 2 Fe + 3 CO₂.
Next step is to convert everything to moles.
12.6g Fe₂O₃ x (1 mol Fe₂O₃ / 159.7g Fe₂O₃) = 0.07890 mol Fe₂O₃ 
9.65g CO x (1 mol CO / 28.01g CO) = 0.3445 mol CO
The third step is to determine the limiting and excess reactants.
0.07890 mol Fe₂O₃ x (3 mol CO/1 mol Fe₂O₃) = 0.2367 mol CO
Therefore Fe₂O₃ is the limiting reagent while CO is in excess.

0.07890 mol Fe x (2 mol Fe(s) / 1 mol Fe₂O₃) = 0.1578 mol Fe(s) 
0.1578 mol Fe x (55.84g Fe / mole Fe) = 8.812g Fe is the theoretical yield
%yield = (7.23g / 8.812g) x 100% = 82.0% is the percent yield
