Answer:
a. slows diffusion
Explanation:
Gas exchange on respiratory surfaces in the body (the lungs) occurs through a process known as diffusion. Blood which is low in oxygen and high in carbondioxide (carried from cells) goes through an exchange in the lung's alveoli (where oxygen concentration is high and carbondioxide is low). The oxygen in the alveoli diffuses into the blood, while the carbondioxide in the blood diffuses into the alveoli. This diffusion is possible because of the concentration gradient across the membranes.
Pneumonia is the inflammation of the lungs due to injury or infection. Liquid (pus) accumulates in the alveoli (a natural immune response to the infection or injury), a condition known as pulmonary edema which makes it harder for gases to be exchanged between the blood and the alveoli, thereby making breathing difficult. This slows down diffusion and if the condition is severe enough, can cause a respiratory failure where oxygen levels in the blood are critically low and carbondioxide levels are very high.

<u>Answer:</u> The unbalanced chemical equation is written below.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Unbalanced chemical equation does not follow law of conservation of mass.
In an unbalanced chemical equation, total number of individual atoms on the reactant side will not be equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side.
The chemical equation for the reaction of diboron trioxide and magnesium metal follows:
Hence, the unbalanced chemical equation is written above.
Answer:
The molar mass of carbon
Explanation:
Before the mass (in grams) of two moles of carbon can be determined, <u>the molar mass of the element would be needed.</u>
<em>This is because the number of mole of an element is the ratio of its mass and the molar mass</em>. That is,
number of mole = mass/molar mass
Hence, the mass of elements can be obtained by making it the subject of the formular;
mass = number of mole x molar mass
<em>Therefore, the molar mass of carbon would be needed before the mass of 2 moles of the element can be determined.</em>
