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.

A solution of SO2 in water contains 0.00023 g of SO2 per liter of solution. What is the concentration of SO2 in ppm? in ppb?

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

= 230 ppb

Explanation:

Considering that;

1ppm = 1mg/L

Then;

0.00023g = 0.23mg

Therefore;

0.00023 g/L = 0.23 mg/L

0.23 mg/L = 0.23 ppm

1 ppm = 100 ppb

Therefore;

0.23 ppm = 0.23 ×1000

= 230 ppb

Which of the following describes a scenario in which the molecular geometry would have the smallest bond angle(s)? (A) four bond

maw [93]

Answer: The correct answer is "B" two bonding domains(or bonding pairs) or two non bonding domains(or lone pairs)

Explanation:

Molecular geometry/structure is a three dimensional shape of a molecule. It is basically an arrangement of atoms in a molecule.It is determined by the central atom, its surrounding atoms and electron pairs.According to VSEPR theory, there are 5 basic shapes of a molecule: linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal and octahedral.

A)Four bonding domains and zero non bonding domains: shape is tetrahedral and bond angle is 109.5°

B)Two bonding domains and two non bonding domains(lone pairs): shape is bent and bond angle is 104.5°

C)Three bonding domains and one non bonding domain: shape is trigonal pyramidal and bond angle is 107°

D)Two bonding domain and zero non bonding domain: shape is linear and bond angle is 107°

E)Two bonding domain and one non bonding domain: bent shape and bond angle is 120°

F)Three bonding domains and zero nonbonding domain: shape is trigonal planar and bond angle is 120°

Hence Two bonding domains and two non bonding domains have the smallest bond angle.

In acidic solution, the breakdown of sucrose into glucose and fructose has this rate law: rate = k[H+][sucrose].

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

a)If concentration of [Sucrose] is changed to 2.5 M than rate will be increased by the factor of 2.5.

b)If concentration of [Sucrose] is changed to 0.5 M than rate will be increased by the factor of 0.5.

c)If concentration of $[H^+]$ is changed to 0.0001 M than rate will be increased by the factor of 0.01.

d) If concentration when [sucrose] and $[H^+]$ both are changed to 0.1 M than rate will be increased by the factor of 1.

Explanation:

Sucrose + $H^+\rightarrow$ fructose+ glucose

The rate law of the reaction is given as:

$R=k[H^+][sucrose]$

$[H^+]=0.01M$

[sucrose]= 1.0 M

$R=k[0.01M][1.0 M]$ ..[1]

The rate of the reaction when [Sucrose] is changed to 2.5 M = R'

$R'=[0.01 M][2.5 M]$ ..[2]

[2] ÷ [1]

$\frac{R'}{R}=\frac{[0.01 M][2.5 M]}{k[0.01M][1.0 M]}$

$R'=2.5\times R$

If concentration of [Sucrose] is changed to 2.5 M than rate will be increased by the factor of 2.5.

The rate of the reaction when [Sucrose] is changed to 0.5 M = R'

$R'=[0.01 M][0.5 M]$ ..[2]

[2] ÷ [1]

$\frac{R'}{R}=\frac{[0.01 M][0.5 M]}{k[0.01M][1.0 M]}$

$R'=2.5\times R$

If concentration of [Sucrose] is changed to 0.5 M than rate will be increased by the factor of 0.5.

The rate of the reaction when $[H^+]$ is changed to 0.001 M = R'

$R'=[0.0001 M][1.0 M]$ ..[2]

[2] ÷ [1]

$\frac{R'}{R}=\frac{[0.0001 M][1.0M]}{k[0.01M][1.0 M]}$

$R'=0.01\times R$

If concentration of $[H^+]$ is changed to 0.0001 M than rate will be increased by the factor of 0.01.

The rate of the reaction when [sucrose] and $[H^+]$ both are changed to 0.1 M = R'

$R'=[0.1M][0.1M]$ ..[2]

[2] ÷ [1]

$\frac{R'}{R}=\frac{[0.1M][0.1M]}{k[0.01M][1.0 M]}$

$R'=1\times R$

If concentration when [sucrose] and $[H^+]$ both are changed to 0.1 M than rate will be increased by the factor of 1.

Only one isotope of this element occurs in nature. one atom of this isotope has a mass of 9.123 ✕ 10-23 g. identify the element

o-na [289]

The atom has only one isotope which means 100 % of same atom is present in nature. The atomic mass of an element is the number of times an atom of that element is heavier than an atom of carbon taken as 12. Mass of one atom of that isotope is 9.123 ✕ 10⁻²³ g, so mass of one mole of atom that is Avogadro's number of atom is 6.023 X 10²³ X 9.123 X 10⁻²³ g=54.94 g = 55 g (approximate).

So, the atom having atomic mass 55 will be Cesium (Cs). Only one isotope of Cesium is stable in nature.

Reserpine is a natural product isolated from the roots of the shrub Rauwolfia serpentina. It was first synthesized in 1956 by No

liraira [26]

Answer:

Molality = 0.066 m

Molar mass = 608.36 g/mol

Explanation:

It seems the question is incomplete. However a web search us shows this data:

" Reserpine is a natural product isolated from the roots of the shrub Rauwolfia serpentina. It was first synthesized in 1956 by Nobel Prize winner R. B. Woodward. It is used as a tranquilizer and sedative. When 1.00 g reserpine is dissolved in 25.0 g camphor, the freezing-point depression is 2.63 °C (Kf for camphor is 40 °C·kg/mol). Calculate the molality of the solution and the molar mass of reserpine. "

The freezing-point depression is expressed by:

ΔT=Kf * m

We put the data given by the problem and solve for m:

2.63 °C = 40°C·kg/mol * m

m = 0.06575 m

For the calculation of the molar mass: Molality is defined as moles of solute per kilogram of solvent:

0.06575 m = Moles reserpine / kg camphor

25.0 g camphor ⇒ 25.0/1000 = 0.025 kg camphor

We calculate moles of reserpine:

0.06575 m = Moles reserpine / 0.025 kg camphor

Moles reserpine = 1.64x10⁻³ mol

Finally we use the mass of reserpine and the moles to calculate the molar mass:

1.00 g reserpine / 1.64x10⁻³ mol = 608.36 g/mol

Keep in mind that if the data in your problem is different, the results will be different. But the solving method remains the same.
