The lungs expand, causing their internal pressure to decrease.

Explanation:

Inhalation is one of the two mechanisms of breathing when air or oxygen is taken in.

During the process of inhalation or inspiration when air is inhaled  following changes occur:

Diaphragm gets contracted and pulls to downward attaining convex shape and the muscles in between rib ( intercostal muscles) get contracted and gets upward pull attaining the concave shape.

This contraction causes the lungs to expand and the air pressure with in gets decreased in comparison to atmospheric pressure. This results in inhalation of air into the lungs.

Phthalic acid is a diprotic acid having the formula HO2CC6H4CO2H that can be converted to a salt by reaction with base. Which of
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

D) NaO2CC6H4CO2K

Explanation:

Water is a polar solvent and tends to solvate polar molecules. This allows solute molecules to interact with the solvent and that is why the solubility of a molecule in water increases with the increase in its polarity. So, the salt of phthalic acid is more soluble in water than phthalic acid itself. Although the monosodium and monopotassium salts are also more soluble than phthalic acid, the dialkali phthalate salt (NaO2CC6H4CO2K) is the most soluble due to the highest polarity.

Define the following terms - you may need to consult your lecture text or other suitable resource:
natta225 [31]

Answer:

a) Monomers: monomers are unit molecules, that can react together with other monomers, to form a long chain molecule called a polymer. Th polymer formed can also be in a three dimensional network. The process of this conversion of monomers to polymers is called polymerization.

b) Repeating unit: A repeating unit is a unit of the polymer formed, whose repetition would produce a long complete polymer chain. A polymer is made up of these repeating links of molecules that form a long chain of molecules.

c) Condensation polymerization: This is a form of condensation reaction, that involves the combination of molecules into polymers with the loss of small molecules such as water or methanol as by products.

d) Cross-linked polymer: This is a polymer formed from a type of bonding of molecules. The bonding is usually in the form of covalent bonds or ionic bonds and the polymers can be either synthetic polymers or natural polymers.  The cross-links leads to an alteration in the physical properties of the polymer.

How many moles of tungsten (W,183.85 g/lol are in 415 grams of tungsten?
vladimir1956 [14]

Given mass of tungsten, W = 415 g

Molar mass of tungsten, W = 183.85 g/mol

Calculating moles of tungsten from mass and molar mass:

415 g * \frac{1 mol}{183.85 g} = 2.26 mol W

The volume of distilled water that should be added to 10.0 mL of 6.00 M HCl(aq) in order to prepare a 0.500 M HCl(aq) solution i
bija089 [108]

Answer:

110ml

Explanation:

<em>Using the dilution equation, C1V1 = C2V2</em>

<em>Where C1 is the initial concentration of solution</em>

<em>C2 is final concentration of solution</em>

<em>V1 is intital volume of solution</em>

<em>V2 is final volume of solution.</em>

From the question , C1=6M, C2=0.5M, V1=10ml, V2=?

V2 =\frac{C1V1}{C2}

V2 =\frac{10*6}{0.5}

V2 =120ml

volume of water added = final volume -initial volume

                                    = 120-10

                                   =110ml

500ml of a buffer solution contains 0.050 mol nahso3 and 0.031
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

The answers are explained below

Explanation:

a)

Given: concentration of salt/base = 0.031

concentration of acid = 0.050

we have

PH = PK a + log[salt]/[acid] = 1.8 + log(0.031/0.050) = 1.59

b)

we have HSO₃⁻ + OH⁻ ------> SO₃²⁻ + H₂O

Moles i............0.05...................0.01.................0.031.....................0

Moles r...........-0.01.................-0.01................0.01........................0.01

moles f...........0.04....................0....................0.041.....................0.01

c)

we will use the first equation but substituting concentration of base as 0.031 + 10ml = 0.031 + 0.010 = 0.041

Hence, we have

PH = PK a + log[salt]/[acid] = 1.8 + log(0.041/0.050) = 1.71

d)

pOH = -log (0.01/0.510) = 1.71

pH = 14 - 1.71 = 12.29

e)

Because the buffer solution (NaHSO3-Na2SO3) can regulate pH changes. when a buffer is added to water, the first change that occurs is that the water pH becomes constant. Thus, acids or bases (alkali = bases) Additional may not have any effect on the water, as this always will stabilize immediately.
