Answer:

Explanation: In the previous section we listed four characteristics of radioactivity and nuclear decay that form the basis for the use of radioisotopes in the health and biological sciences. A fifth characteristic of nuclear reactions is that they release enormous amounts of energy. The first nuclear reactor to achieve controlled nuclear disintegration was built in the early 1940s by Enrico Fermi and his colleagues at the University of Chicago. Since that time, a great deal of effort and expense has gone into developing nuclear reactors as a source of energy. The nuclear reactions presently used or studied by the nuclear power industry fall into two categories: fission reactions and fusion reactions

What is the mass, in grams, of 0.125 L of CO2 at STP? Question 4 options: 2.80 g 181 g 0.246 g 4.11 g
Zolol [24]
1) Use the fact that 1 mol of gas at STP occupies 22.4 liter

=> 1 mol / 22.4 l = x / 0.125 l => x = 0.125 l * 1 mol / 22.4 l = 0.00558 mol

2) Now use the molar mass of the gas

molar mass of CO2 ≈ 44 g / mol

Formula: molar mass = mass in grams / number of moles =>

mass in grams = molar mass * number of moles = 44 g/mol * 0.00558 moles

mass = 0.246 g

Answer: 0.246 g

What effect does pneumonia have on the diffusion of O2 and CO2 across the membranes in the lungs? a. slows diffusion b. complete
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

a. slows diffusion

Explanation:

Gas exchange on respiratory surfaces in the body (the lungs) occurs through a process known as diffusion. Blood which is low in oxygen and high in carbondioxide (carried from cells) goes through an exchange in the lung's alveoli (where oxygen concentration is high and carbondioxide is low). The oxygen in the alveoli diffuses into the blood, while the carbondioxide in the blood diffuses into the alveoli. This diffusion is possible because of the concentration gradient across the membranes.

Pneumonia is the inflammation of the lungs due to injury or infection. Liquid (pus) accumulates in the alveoli (a natural immune response to the infection or injury), a condition known as pulmonary edema which makes it harder for gases to be exchanged between the blood and the alveoli, thereby making breathing difficult. This slows down diffusion and if the condition is severe enough, can cause a respiratory failure where oxygen levels in the blood are critically low and carbondioxide levels are very high.

6. According to Crystal Field Theory, what should be the color of an aqueous solution of the ion [Y(H2O)6]3
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Colourless

Explanation:

We know that Y^3+ has the electronic configuration of;

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 (the 5s and 4d levels are empty).

According to the crystal field theory, the colour of complexes result from transitions between incompletely filled d orbitals.

As a result of this, complexes with empty or completely filled d orbitals are colourless. Thus,  [Y(H2O)6]3 is colourless according to the Crystal Field Theory.

A naturally occurring oil co-distills with water to produce an oil/water distillate that is 20% oil by weight. If the molecular
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Partial pressure of oil = mole fraction of oil x total pressure

mole fraction of oil = mole of oil / mole of water + mole of oil

= mole of oil = mass of oil / molecular weight of oil

= 20 / 100 = .2

mole of water = 80 / 18

= 4.444

mole fraction of oil =  .2 / .2 + 4.444

= .2 / 4.644

Partial pressure of oil = mole fraction of oil x total pressure

= (.2 / 4.644 ) x 760 mm

= 32.73 mm Hg .
