Lerok [7]3 years ago

Inhalation is the process of taking air into the lungs. For this to occur, the air pressure inside the lungs must be lower than that of the external atmosphere as air flows from areas of higher pressure to lower pressure. <span>Exhalation is the process of expelling air out of the lungs. For this to occur, the air pressure inside the lungs must be higher than that of the external atmosphere as air flows from areas of higher pressure to ones of lower pressure.</span>

The volume of a gas is reduced from 4 L to 0.5 L while the temperature is held constant. How does the gas pressure change?
liberstina [14]

Answer:

It increases by a factor of eight

Explanation:

When temperature is held constant, gas pressure changes according the volume, in undirectly proportion.

Volume increases →  Pressure decreases

Volume decreases → Pressure increases

As volume gas, was reducted from 4L to 0.5L, it was reduced by 1/8, so the pressure gas was increased by a factor of eight.

HELP !<br> 85g of NiCl2 dissolves in 350ml of H2O. What is the Molarity? Show your work
trapecia [35]

Answer:

1.874 M.

Explanation:

<em>Molarity is defined as the no. of moles of a solute per 1.0 L of the solution.</em>

<em />

M = (no. of moles of solute)/(V of the solution (L)).

<em>∴ M = (mass/molar mass)of NiCl₂/(V of the solution (L)).</em>

<em></em>

∴ M = (mass/molar mass)of NiCl₂/(V of the solution (L)) = (85.0 g / 129.59 g/mol)/(0.35 L) = 1.874 M.

Why must every redox reaction involve an oxidizing agent and a reducing agent?
vagabundo [1.1K]

A reduced element (which gains electrons) and an oxidized element are required for redox reactions (gives electrons). It is not a redox reaction if we lack both of them (an element can not receive electrons if no element gives electrons and vice versa).

A reduced half and an oxidized half, which always occur together, make up redox processes. While the oxidized half experiences electron loss and an increase in oxidation number, the reduced half obtains electrons and the oxidation number declines. The mnemonic devices OIL RIG, which stand for "oxidation is loss" and "reduction is gain," are simple ways to memorize this. In a redox process, the total number of electrons stays constant. In the reduction half reaction, another species absorbs those that were released in the oxidation half reaction.

In a redox reaction, two species exchange electrons, and they are given unique names:

  • The ion or molecule that accepts electrons is called the oxidizing agent - by accepting electrons it oxidizes other species.
  • The ion or molecule that donates electrons is called the reducing agent - by giving electrons it reduces the other species.

Hence, what is oxidized is the reducing agent and what is reduced is the oxidizing agent.

<h3>What is the purpose of oxidizing agents and reducing agents?</h3>

By reducing other compounds and shedding electrons, a reducing agent raises its oxidation state. An oxidizing agent gets electrons by oxidizing other compounds; as a result, its oxidation state lowers.

<h3>What is a redox reaction?</h3>

Oxidation-reduction (or "redox") reactions are chemical processes in which electrons are exchanged between two substances. An oxidation-reduction reaction is any chemical process in which a molecule, atom, or ion alters the number of electrons it has, hence increasing or decreasing its oxidation state.

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

vertebrate and invertebrates

Explanation:

All Vertebrates  have a skeletal structure with a spinal backbone and well developed internal skeleton made up of bones and cartilage while Invertebrates have no backbone.

Vertebrate include fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. Invertebrates include worms and jellyfish, spiders and crabs.

<u>common characteristics among vertebrates and invertebrates </u>

○ multi-cellular.

○ heterotrophs (cannot make their own food) and must get their energy by consuming plants or other animals.

What could have caused the size of the moon jelly population to increase?
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

The moon jelly population increased there were either more births or fewer deaths in the population than before. ... If there are more energy storage molecules available to the moon jellies, they can reproduce more, resulting in more births. Fewer deaths would also cause the jelly population to increase.
