The rate of diffusion change would increase if the PO₂ in the capillaries was 40 mmHg and the PO₂ in the muscle cell changed from 40 to 20 mmHg.

Simple diffusion is the movement of molecular substances from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration. The mechanism with which the movement of O₂ travels from the blood to the body tissues takes place with the use of simple diffusion.

Now, if PO₂ changes from 40 → 20 mmHg in the muscle cells, and the PO₂ in the blood = 40mmHg. It implies that the pressure gradient(P) has increased. As such, there is an increase in the rate of diffusion of oxygen from the blood to muscle cells.

Explain the process of groundwater
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Limestone is easily eroded from above and below.

Explanation:

The Florida bedrock is largely made of limestone. Because limestone is a rock that is easily eroded, the landscape of a great part of Florida is classified as karstic.

Karstic landscapes are dotted by sinkholes, underground rivers, caves, and springs. The more acidic the groundwater or rainwater, the faster and more easily the limestone will succumb to erosion.

In this way, underground rivers, streams, runoff, rain, and underground water pooled in caves have all carved out gaps and caverns in the weak limestone bedrock.

How many Joules of heat would be required
mote1985 [20]

Heat would be required  : 1,670 J

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

mass of H₂O=5 g

Required

Heat to melt

Solution

The heat to change the phase can be formulated :

Q = m.Lf (melting/freezing)

Lf=latent heat of fusion

The heat of fusion for water at 0 °C : 334 J/g

Input given values in formula :

\tt Q=5\times 334=\boxed{\bold{1,670~J}}

MrRissso [65]
<span>There is only one formula to use and we should assume ideal gas. This equation is: PV=nRT. For the following questions manipulate this equation to get the answer.
 1. n = PV/RT = (249*1000 Pa)(15.6 L)(1 m^3/1000 L)/(8.314 Pa-m^3/mol-K))(21+273) = 1.59 mol
 2. P = nRT/V = (1.59)(8.314)(51+273)/(15.6/1000)(1000) = 274.55 kPa
 3. Since the answer in #2 is more than 269 kPa, then the tires will likely burst. 4. Reduce pressure way below the limit 269 kPa.</span>
