Answer:

Diabetes is the condition in which the body does not properly process food for use as energy. Most of the food we eat is turned into glucose, or sugar, for our bodies to use for energy. The pancreas, an organ that lies near the stomach, makes a hormone called insulin to help glucose get into the cells of our bodies.

Answer:

Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high. Blood glucose is your main source of energy and comes from the food you eat. Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, helps glucose from food get into your cells to be used for energy. Sometimes your body doesn’t make enough—or any—insulin or doesn’t use insulin well. Glucose then stays in your blood and doesn’t reach your cells.

Over time, having too much glucose in your blood can cause health problems. Although diabetes has no cure, you can take steps to manage your diabetes and stay healthy.

You want to know how many moles of gas your lungs can hold. You start off with a balloon that has 1.4 moles of gas and occupies

Mrrafil [7]

Number of moles : n₂ = 1.775 moles

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Moles = n₁ = 1.4

Volume = V₁=22.4 L

V₂=28.4 L

Required

Moles-n₂

Solution

Avogadro's hypothesis, at the same temperature and pressure, the ratio of gas volume will be equal to the ratio of gas moles

The ratio of gas volume will be equal to the ratio of gas moles

$\tt \dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{n_1}{n_2}$

Input the values :

n₂ = (V₂ x n₁)/V₁

n₂ = (28.4 x 1.4)/22.4

n₂ = 1.775 moles

Copper(II) sulphate – sodium hydroxide reaction

The reaction between copper(Il) sulphate and sodium hydroxide solutions is a good place to start. If you slowly add one to the other while stirring, you will get a precipitate of copper(II) hydroxide, Cu(OH)2.

43 mg = [?]g <br>A. 0.043 g <br>B. 4.3 g <br>C. 4300 g <br>D. 43,000 g

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Option A (0.043 g) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Given:

= 43 mg

As we know,

$1 \ mg = \frac{1}{1000} \ g$

then,

⇒ $43 \ mg = \frac{43}{1000} \ g$

$= 0.043 \ g$

Thus, the above is the correct alternative.
