Answer:
Zinc oxide is the antimicrobial in the medicated foot powder.
Explanation:
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is used to treat several skin conditions such as acne, dermatitis, eczema, etc because it has antibacterial and antifungal properties. This property of the ZnO depends on its size i.e., the smaller the size of ZnO, the stronger antimicrobial activity it has. So, the ZnO nanoparticles are more efficient.
The zinc oxide interacts with the sulfur atoms in microbial proteins and denatures them and destroys their function. This action completely inhibits microbial growth. The treatment with zinc oxide causes the reduced production of conidia in fungi, damages their hyphae and inhibits their ability to produce mycotoxins.
The compounds containing zinc such as ZnSO4, Zn(ClO4)2, etc also have antifungal and antimycotoxin properties that can cause changes in the fungi cell structure. Also, the free radicals formed on the surface of the ZnO nanoparticles can cause damage to the lipids in the bacterial cell membranes that can lead to the leakage and breakdown of the bacterial cell membranes.
Answer:
Q = 2.60 • 
J
Explanation:
Our specific heat capacity equation is:
Q = mC∆T
Q is the energy in joules.
m is the mass of the substance.
∆T is the temperature chance.
Let's plug in what we know.
- We have 76.0 g of octane
- The specific heat capacity of octane is 2.22 J/(g•K)
- The temperature increases from 10.6º to 26.0º (a 15.4º increase)
Q = 76.0(2.22)(15.4)
Multiply.
Q = 2598.288
We want three significant figures.
Q = 2.60 •
or
Q = 2590 J

I can’t see the question :/
<span>The </span>octet rule<span> is a chemical </span>rule<span> of thumb that reflects observation that atoms of main-group elements tend to combine in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas.
