To measure the volume of the blood system of an animal, the following experiment was done. A 1.0-mL sample of an aqueous solutio

n containing tritium, with an activity of dps, was injected into the animal's bloodstream. After time was allowed for complete circulatory mixing, a 1.0-mL blood sample was withdrawn and found to have an activity of dps. What was the volume of the circulatory system

Answer:199mL

Explanation:

Let V ml be the volume of blood in animal.

When 1.0 ml sample is added, total volume becomes V+1.0ml. Its activity is 1000 dpm.

After equilibrium, 2.0 ml of the sample had activity of 10 dpm.

Hence, after equilibrium, the activity of V+1.0 ml of blood sample will be 10/2 (V+1.0ml)=1000dpm

Hence, V=199ml.

(4) Calculate the % of a compound that can be removed from liquid phase 1 by using ONE to FOUR extractions with a liquid phase 2
maksim [4K]

Answer:

One extraction: 50%

Two extractions: 75%

Three extractions: 87.5%

Four extractions: 93.75%

Explanation:

The following equation relates the fraction q of the compound left in volume V₁ of phase 1 that is extracted n times with volume V₂.

qⁿ = (V₁/(V₁ + KV₂))ⁿ

We also know that V₂ = 1/2(V₁) and K = 2, so these expressions can be substituted into the above equation:

qⁿ = (V₁/(V₁ + 2(1/2V₁))ⁿ = (V₁/(V₁ + V₁))ⁿ =  (V₁/(2V₁))ⁿ = (1/2)ⁿ

When n = 1, q = 1/2, so the fraction removed from phase 1 is also 1/2, or 50%.

When n = 2, q = (1/2)² = 1/4, so the fraction removed from phase 1 is (1 - 1/4) = 3/4 or 75%.

When n = 3, q = (1/2)³ = 1/8, so the fraction removed from phase 1 is (1 - 1/8) = 7/8 or 87.5%.

When n = 4, q = (1/2)⁴ = 1/16, so the fraction removed from phase 1 is (1 - 1/16) = 15/16 or 93.75%.

Please help, I lost my previous tutor just when she was explaining the answer
TEA [102]

Answer:

HCO₂/H₂O is not the acid-base conjugate pair.

Explanation:

<em>Acid and conjugate base pairs differ by an H+ ion.</em>

Neither HCO₂ nor H₂O has lost or gained protons.

The conjugate acid of H₂O is H₃O⁺

The conjugate base of HCO₃⁻ is CO₃²⁻

[A conjugate acid has one more H⁺ than its base]
