Answer:

The liver stores glucose to power the cells during periods of low blood sugar. Skipping meals and poor nutrition can lower blood sugar. By storing glucose, the liver makes sure that blood glucose levels remain steady between meals and during sleep. When blood glucose falls, cells in the pancreas secrete glucagon.

Saturated water vapor at 350 8 c is heated at constant pressure until its volume has doubled. determine the final temperature us

Helga [31]

The answer is; 700 degrees Centigrade

This is derived from the Boyle's Law, Charles's Law, and Gay-Lussac Law ideal gas equation that is defined by the formulae; P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Remember the P1 = P2 and V2 = 2*V1 in this case

P1*V1/350 = P1*2V1/T2

T2 = (P1*2V1/350)/ (P1*V1)

T2 = 350*2 =700
