What factors causes zinc to decrease and increase? Not the zinc in the human body.

1 answer:

5 0

Zinc deficiency affects the skin and gastrointestinal tract; brain and central nervous system, immune, skeletal, and reproductive systems. Zinc deficiency in humans is caused by reduced dietary intake, inadequate absorption, increased loss, or increased body system use. The most common cause is reduced dietary intake.

Classify each of these soluble solutes as a strong electrolyte, a weak electrolyte, or a nonelectrolyte. Solutes formula hydroch

matrenka [14]

Compounds which on dissolving in water gets completely dissociates into its ions are known as strong electrolytes whereas compounds which on dissolving in water gets partially dissociates into its ions are known as weak electrolytes.

Substances which gives solution on dissolving in water and do not dissociates into ions also does not conduct electric current are known as nonelectrolyte.

Hydrochloric acid, $HCl$

On adding $HCl$ (strong acid) in water, it will completely dissociates into ions ( $H^{+}$ and $Cl^{-}$ ) and thus, it is a strong electrolyte.

Sodium hydroxide, $NaOH$

On adding $NaOH$ (strong base) in water, it will completely dissociates into ions ( $Na^{+}$ and $OH^{-}$ ) and thus, it is a strong electrolyte.

Formic acid, $HCOOH$

On adding $HCOOH$ (weak acid) in water, it will partially dissociates into ions ( $H^{+}$ and $HCOO^{-}$ ) and thus, it is a weak electrolyte.

Methyl amine, $CH_3NH_2$

On adding $CH_3NH_2$ (weak base) in water, it will partially dissociates into ions ( $CH_3NH_3^{+}$ and $OH^{-}$ ) and thus, it is a weak electrolyte.

Potassium chloride, $KCl$

On adding $KCl$ in water, it will completely dissociates into ions ( $K^{+}$ and $Cl^{-}$ ) and thus, it is a strong electrolyte.

Ethanol, $C_2H_5OH$

On adding $C_2H_5OH$ in water, it will not dissociates into ions and thus, it is a nonelectrolyte.

Sucrose, $C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}$

On adding $C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}$ in water, it will not dissociates into ions and thus, it is a nonelectrolyte.

The Element rhenium has two naturally occurring isotopes, 185 Re and 187 Re, with an average atomic mass of 186.207 amu. Rhenium

BigorU [14]

To calculate the average mass of the element, we take the summation of the product of the isotope and the percent abundance. In this case, the equation becomes 186.207=187*0.626+185*x where x is the percent abundance of 185. The answer is 0.374 or 37.4%. This can also be obtained by 100%-62.6%= 37.4%.

? Answer the question below. Type your response in the space provided. What volume of a 2.5 M stock solution of acetic acid (HC2

Novay_Z [31]

Data:
$M_{concentrated} = 2.5\:mol$
$V_{concentrated} = ?$
$M_{dilute} = 0.50\:mol$
$V_{dilute} = 100\:mL\to0.100\:L$

Formula: Dilution Calculations

 $M_{concentrated} * V_{concentrated} = M_{dilute} * V_{dilute}$

Solving:


$M_{concentrated} * V_{concentrated} = M_{dilute} * V_{dilute}$
$2.5 * V_{concentrated} = 0.50 * 0.100$
$2.5V_{concentrated} = 0.05$
$V_{concentrated} = \frac{0.05}{2.5}$
$\boxed{\boxed{V_{concentrated} = 0.02\:L\:or\:20\:mL}} \end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

What is a natural resource that is plentiful, but strong enough to be used as currency?

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The two characteristics — “plentiful” and “currency” — are not really related.

Money is a symbolic tool to expedite trade. In earliest days, people might carry bushels of wheat to exchange for jars of oil. But that is cumbersome, and the search costs are too high. It’s hard to find another party who both wants what you have, AND who also has what you want!.

Instead, we all agree on trading with “money.” The farmer gives the store milk and gets money. Later you give the store money and get milk.

SO… The most important characteristic of currency is that it is hard to fake. That is to prevent cheating. Gold and silver were scarce so made good coins. Then printed currency was made hard to counterfeit. Trade with money is based on confidence in the money.

In an entirely different direction are the natural resources we take for granted - like air and water.

If you explain your question further in the comments, glad to respond.

Explanation:

Nature.

Real value equals nature which sustains all life.

This is indisputable & real value, nature & life are inseparable.

Nature is a singular compound billions years old recreative self-sustainable real value system of living organisms. Humans are a mere millions years old failing species of mammal.

Nature must and will inevitably be repaired, restored and expanded as the only source of REAL life sustaining value on the planet.

Value inequality concerns natures real life sustaining value and over billions of years through evolution nature has acheived some degree of balance. This has been disrupted by the human species using the failed fake value system of economics to create fake income inequality

Real value is not *emotional* or *symbolic* (wealth) and for mammals like we humans consists of life sustaining matter created solely by nature.

Fake “value“ or wealth is created by failed economics which creates fake income inequality that is used to manipulate the masses access to real value. Fake value is “shadow wealth” used by capitalists to control and manipulate access to natures real value.

Wealth is a fake value lien placed by the wealthy (capitalists) on natures real life sustaining value and is facilitated by economics and capitalism in particular.

Why chemically did the prescribing of thalidomide for morning sickness in pregnant women lead to tragic consequences, including

Dominik [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The drug thalidomide with molecular formula C13H10N2O4 was widely prescribed by doctors for morning sickness in pregnant women in the 1960s.

The drug was sold as a racemic mixture (+)(R)-thalidomide and (-)(S)-thalidomide.

Unfortunately, only the (+)(R)-thalidomide exhibited the required effect while (-)(S)-thalidomide is a teratogen.

This goes a long way to underscore the importance of separation of enantiomers in drug production.

Therefore, all the teratogenic effects observed when using the drug thalidomide was actually as a result of the presence of (-)(S)-thalidomide, the unwanted enantiomer.
