Answer:
0.87 pg
Explanation:
<em>GenAlex Medical, a leading manufacturer of medical laboratory equipment, is designing a new automated system that can detect normal levels of dissolved triiodothyronine (230. to 660 pg/dL), using a blood sample that is as small as 380 μL. Calculate the minimum mass in picograms of triiodothyronine that the new system must be able to detect. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.</em>
Step 1: Convert 380 μL to deciliters
We will use the following conversion factors.
380 μL × 1 L/10⁶ μL × 10 dL/1 L = 3.8 × 10⁻³ L
Step 2: Calculate the minimum mass of triiodothyronine that can be found in a 3.8 × 10⁻³ L blood sample
Since we are looking for the minimum mass, we will use the lower limit of the concentration interval (230. pg/dL).
3.8 × 10⁻³ L × 230. pg/dL = 0.87 pg

Question 6 options:
1)
A single replacement reaction takes place because sodium is less reactive than hydroxide ions.
Answer:
This can be solved using Dalton's Law of Partial pressures. This law states that the total pressure exerted by a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressure of each gas in the mixture as if it exist alone in a container. In order to solve, we need the partial pressures of the gases given. Calculations are as follows:
Explanation:
P = 3.00 atm + 2.80 atm + 0.25 atm + 0.15 atm
P = 6.8 atm
3.5 atm = x (6.8 atm)
x = 0.51
Nanochemicals can be defined as chemicals generated by using nanomaterials (materials that possess of size on nanometer dimensions). The nanochemicals are used in multiple different applications including chemical warfare, bicycle making, armor design and military weapons crafting. The most commonly used and observed nanochemicals are carbon nanotubes that are used a ton in industry for applications such as stronger materials (stronger bicycles).
Smart materials are exquisitely designed materials whose property(ies) can be modified with the use of an external stimulus such as temperature, stress, pH, and so on. Some examples of smart materials include shape memory materials, piezoelectric materials, ferrofluids, self-healing materials, and such. Applications involve memory pillows, memory based solar panels (for satellites), light sensitive glasses, and so on.
Specialized materials are made specifically to perform a specified task or function. Applications involve electronic equipment (high purity silicon & germanium), machine tools (high tungsten high carbon steel), dental filling (dental amalgam), and so on.
Answer:
Geothermal power comes from Earth's internal heat
Explanation:
The description applied to power sources tends to match the names applied to the source of energy. Sometimes Latin, or other word derivations are used.
For example, "hydro-" refers to water, so it is no surprise that hydroelectric power comes from the movement of water. Of course, "nuclear" refers to the nuclei of the atoms that are split to release energy in a nuclear power plant. Similarly, "geo-" refers to Earth, and "thermal" refers to heat, so "geothermal" energy is the name given to energy derived from Earth's heat.
