Fullerenes (like the one shown) are made up of hexagonal rings of carbon atoms (like in graphite or graphene) and alternating pe

ntagonal and heptagonal carbon rings to allow curvature of the surface producing molecules that have a complete hollow shape.
The extremely small diameter of the nanoparticle fullerenes (which act like a cage) allows them to readily pass through cell membranes and be readily absorbed into the body.

What potential benefit does this have in the pharmaceutical industry as well as medicine?




A)
The very small fullerene molecules would keep cancer cells from invading other healthy cells. As a result, it would keep cancer from spreading.




B)
The very small fullerene molecules could allow surgeons to see the insides of cells with tiny cameras as they perform complex surgery.




C)
The very small fullerene molecules could obstruct hazardous chemicals from getting into absorbed into cells.




D)
The very small fullerene molecules could easily deliver drugs directly into cells in a highly controlled manner.

When you add the metal the volume increases from 25.0 to 28.9 how would you find the volume of the metal?
Rzqust [24]

3.9L

Explanation:

Initial volume = 25L

Final volume = 28.9L

The initial volume is the volume of the liquid without the metal in originally in the container. It is 25L

After adding the metal, the volume changes to 28.9L

 Final volume = Initial volume + volume of metal

To find the volume of metal make it the subject of the expression;

    Volume of metal = Final volume - initial volume = 28.9  - 25 = 3.9L

The volume of irregular solids are measured by immersing them in water. The change in volume gives their volume.

Sometimes the volume of water displaced is the volume of the solid.

Aspirin is a medicine for use by adults.
kogti [31]
<span>Aspirin is the prototypical analgesic used in the treatment of mild to moderate pain. It has anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties and acts as an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase which results in the inhibition of the biosynthesis of prostaglandins. Aspirin also inhibits platelet aggregation and is used in the prevention of arterial and venous thrombosis. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p5)</span>

Hydrogen sulfide,H2S, is a very toxic gas with a smell of rotten eggs. using the following: H2S+3/2 O2=SO2+H2O H2+1/2O2=H2O S+O2
Serga [27]

Answer:

ΔH = -20kJ

Explanation:

The enthalpy of formation of a compound is defined as the change of enthalpy during the formation of 1 mole of the substance from its constituent elements. For H₂S(g) the reaction that describes this process is:

H₂(g) + S(g) → H₂S(g)

Using Hess's law, it is possible to sum the enthalpies of several reactions to obtain the change in enthalpy of a particular reaction thus:

<em>(1) </em>H₂S(g) + ³/₂O₂(g) → SO₂(g) + H₂O(g) ΔH = -519 kJ

<em>(2) </em>H₂(g) + ¹/₂O₂(g) → H₂O(g) ΔH = -242 kJ

<em>(3) </em>S(g) + O₂(g) → SO₂(g) ΔH = -297 kJ

The sum of -(1) + (2) + (3) gives:

<em>-(1) </em>SO₂(g) + H₂O(g) → H₂S(g) + ³/₂O₂(g) ΔH = +519 kJ

<em>(2) </em>H₂(g) + ¹/₂O₂(g) → H₂O(g) ΔH = -242 kJ

<em>(3) </em>S(g) + O₂(g) → SO₂(g) ΔH = -297 kJ

<em>-(1) + (2) + (3): </em><em>H₂(g) + S(g) → H₂S(g) </em>

<em>ΔH =</em> +519kJ - 242kJ - 297kJ = <em>-20 kJ</em>

<em />

I hope it helps!
