You and your roommates have already decided to spend a week volunteering in the relief effort over the winter break, but in orde

r to convince your roommates to write to Congress to demand action on climate change, you want to give them a sense of how much water fell. To do this, you calculate how many gallons of water would be in your dorm room if 52 inches of rain landed in this space. Assume that your dorm room is 228 ft^2 and know that 1 gallon = 231 in^3 and that 1 foot = 12 inches.

Answer:

Gallons of water in the dorm room =7391 gallons

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Amount of rainfall = 52 inches

Area of the room = 228 ft^2

<u>To determine:</u>

The gallons of water in the room

<u>Calculation:</u>

Convert area of room from ft^2 to inches^2

1 foot = 12 inches

Therefore, 1 ft^{2} = (12\  in)^{2} = 144\ in^{2}

Area of room is:

\frac{228ft^{2}*144in^{2}}{1ft^{2} } =32832in^{2}

Volume of water in the room is:

=Area\ of\ room * Amount\ of\ rainfall\\\\= 32832 in^{2} * 52\ in = 1707264\ in^{3}

Convert from in^3 to gallons:

1 gallon = 231 in^3

Therefore:

\frac{1707264in^{3} * 1 gallon}{231in^{3}} =7391 gallons

what is the ratio of the rate of effusion of helium (atomic mass 4.00 amu) to that of oxygen gas (molecular mass 32.0 amu)?
nignag [31]

Answer:

3 : 1

Explanation:

Let the rate of He be R1

Molar Mass of He (M1) = 4g/mol

Let the rate of O2 be R2

Molar Mass of O2 (M2) = 32g/mol

Recall:

R1/R2 = √(M2/M1)

R1/R2 = √(32/4)

R1/R2 = √8

R1/R2 = 3

The ratio of rate of effusion of Helium to oxygen is 3 : 1

When body temperature rises during physical activity, which thermoregulatory response is stimulated?
navik [9.2K]

Answer: Heat dissipation mechanism

Explanation: Heat dissipation mechanism is a thermoregulatory response in humans whereby the hypothalamus of the brain initiates certain processes to reduce the high body temperature. Eg, sweating is initiated which helps cool down the body temperature, also superficial arteries are dilated, thereby leading to flushing and decreasing heatloss into the air. And metabolic heat production is also reduced.
