An apparatus called a centrifuge is used to separate solids from the aqueous portion of blood. A sample of the blood is transferred to a small vial or test tube and this vessel is then placed into the centrifuge. The machine works by rotating the sample around a fixed axis, spinning it in a circle, and this results in a strong force being applied to the sample that is perpendicular to the axis of the spin. This force is called the centripetal force and this centripetal acceleration causes the most dense particles in the blood to move outward in the radial direction. This results in the less dense materials being displaced by the more dense materials. Once the sample vessel is retrieved from the centrifuge, the sample will be separated into layers, such that the solids are found at the bottom of the vessel. The less dense materials such as the water will be found at the top of the vessel.

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:2.86x10^-7m

Explanation:E=hc/^

E=6.94x10^-19J

c = 2.9979x10^8m/s

h= 6.626x10^-34Js

^ =( 6.626x10^-34)x( 2.9979x 10^8)/ 6.94x10^-19

= 2.86x10^-7m

The mass of radium-226 in a sample is found to have decreased from 45.00g to 5.625g in a period of 4800 years.From this informat
yan [13]

Answer:

Half life = 1600 years

Explanation:

Given data:

Total mass of sample = 45.00 g

Mass remain = 5.625 g

Time period = 4800 years

Half life of radium-226 = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the number of half lives passes,

At time zero 45.00 g

At first half life = 45.00 g/ 2= 22.5 g

At 2nd half life = 22.5 g/ 2 = 11.25 g

At 3rd half life = 11.25 g/ 2= 5.625 g

Half life:

Half life = Time elapsed / number of half lives

Half life = 4800 years / 3

Half life = 1600 years

Alkanes are hydrocarbons containing only single bonds. Acyclic alkanes have carbon atoms arranged in chains, whereas cycloalkane
sashaice [31]

Answer:

156 Hydrogen atoms

Explanation:

<u>Any acyclic alkane has a molecular formula that can be expressed as</u>:

CₙH₂ₙ₊₂

Where <em>n</em> is any integer and the number of carbon atoms. For example, Propane has 3 carbon atoms, this means it would have [2*3+2] 8 hydrogen atoms, resulting with a formula of C₃H₈.

An acyclic alkane with 77 carbon atoms would thus have:

2*77 + 2 = 156 hydrogen atoms

What volume (ml) of a 0.2450 m koh(aq) solution is required to completely neutralize 55.25 ml of a 0.5440 m h3po4(aq) solution?
Nonamiya [84]
<span>Answer: It depends on what came after "0.5440 M H...". If it was a monoprotic acid, like HCl, the calculation would go like this: (55.25 mL) x (0.5440 M acid) x (1 mol KOH / 1 mol acid) / (0.2450 M KOH) = 122.7 mL KOH If it was a diprotic acid, like H2SO4, like this: (55.25 mL) x (0.5440 M acid) x (2 mol KOH / 1 mol acid) / (0.2450 M KOH) = 245.4 mL KOH If it was a triprotic acid, like H3PO4, like this: (55.25 mL) x (0.5440 M acid) x (3 mol KOH / 1 mol acid) / (0.2450 M KOH) = 368.0 mL KOH</span>
