What is tetanus? What are the symptoms and consequences of the disease? Who is at risk of developing tetanus? How do vaccines work? What is the history of the tetanus vaccine? Who should receive the tetanus vaccine? When should people receive the tetanus vaccine? Why is this schedule important? Has there been a change in tetanus incidence in the United States since the vaccine became available? What are the risks of vaccination versus non-vaccination? Do the risks outweigh the benefits? Are there areas in the world in which tetanus is prevalent? If so, does this affect the recommendations for US vaccination?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The tetanus vaccine is a dose of the bacterium Clostridium Tetani, in inactive form or even a surface molecule that helps the body to actively form the antibody.

The tetanus vaccine has coverage for life, it is mandatory in those countries where the disease became common, such as the USA, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay among others.

Before a surgical act or a suspicion of exposure with this bacterium, the booster of the tetanus vaccine should be administered quickly.

Explanation:

Tetanus disease generates a tetanization of all the muscles of the organism, generating spasmodic contractions, which make it impossible to function and develop life when it affects the diaphragm as it makes breathing impossible.

Tetanization does not affect differently in age or sex, it only consists of contamination with the bacteria to be sufficient.

The sources of contagion are areas of mud or earth, rusty cutting or sharp elements, and poorly hygienic or abandoned areas. In order for the bacteria to be transmitted or the transmission route to be fulfilled, there must be a lesion of loss of continuity of the epithelium or mucosa.

Answers

Answer:

Why are small quantities of chlorofluorocarbons so harmful to the ozone layer?  Free oxygen atoms can replace the chlorine in chlorine monoxide, releasing a free atom of chlorine which can then recombine with an oxygen atom in ozone, destroying more ozone.

Explanation:

The statement for small quantities of chlorofluorocarbons so harmful to the ozone layer is "Free oxygen atoms can replace the chlorine in chlorine monoxide, releasing a free atom of chlorine which can then recombine with an oxygen atom in ozone, destroying more ozone."

What is ozone layer?

The ozone layer is a thin layer of air in the Earth's atmosphere that absorbs nearly all of the sun's damaging UV radiation.

What is CFCs?

CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are harmless and nonflammable compounds made up of carbon, chlorine, and fluorine atoms.

The earth's protective ozone layer is destroyed by chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and halons, which shield the earth from damaging ultraviolet (UV-B) rays released by the sun. CFCs and HCFCs also warm the earth's lower atmosphere, causing global climate change.

When some substances are exposed to high UV radiation in the stratosphere, they emit chlorine or bromine. Ozone-depleting chemicals are compounds that contribute to ozone depletion (ODS). Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), carbon tetrachloride, and methyl chloroform are examples of ODS that produce chlorine. Halons and methyl bromide are two ODS that emit bromine.

Because there isn't much ozone in the atmosphere, what little there is is critical for protecting the Earth's surface from excessive UV light from the Sun. It turns out that it reacts with chlorine, which means that chlorine effectively eliminates ozone.

When the chlorine in CFCs combines with ultraviolet light, it releases chlorine, which then reacts with ozone, reducing the protection humans get from ultraviolet light, allowing more CFCs to release chlorine, and so on. Multiple ozone molecules will interact with one free chlorine atom, which is free because UV light has hit the CFC molecule. As a result, the damage it can cause is likely to be significantly more than you might imagine.

Hence the correct option is c.

A student observes that instant tea dissolves more rapidly in a cup of 250 mL of stirred hot water than in a cup of 250 mL of stirred cold water. Which is the most relevant hypothesis that the student could develop based on this observation?

A.
Volume affects the rate that instant tea dissolves in a solvent.
B.
Temperature affects the rate that instant tea dissolves in water.
C.
Stirring affects the rate that instant tea dissolves in water.
D.
Pressure affects the rate that instant tea dissolves in water.

Please answer my question!

Answers

Answer:

B

Explanation:

In this question, there is no mention of pressure, so we can eliminate answer D. In both cups, it mentions they contain 250 mL of water and both are stirred, so these would be constants. The only difference between the cups is temperature, so temperature must affect the rate that instant tea dissolves in water. Therefore the answer is B.

The density of a pure liquid at 25 degrees Celsius was calculated by determining the mass and volume of a sample of the liquid. A student measured the mass of a clean, dry 25.00 mL volumetric flask, filled the flask to its calibration mark with the liquid, and then measured the mass of the flask and liquid. The recorded measurements are shown in the table above. On the basis of this information, to how many significant figures should the density of the liquid be reported?

Answers

Answer

The density of the liquid is 0.82 g/mL.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of empty flask = 18.990 g

Mass of flask + liquid = 39.439 g

Volume of liquid = 25 mL

Density of liquid =..?

Next, we shall determine the mass of the liquid. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of empty flask = 18.990 g

Mass of flask + liquid = 39.439 g

Mass of liquid =.?

Mass of liquid = (Mass of flask + liquid) – (Mass of empty flask)

Mass of liquid = 39.439 – 18.990

Mass of liquid = 20.503 g

Finally, we shall determine the density of the liquid as follow:

Mass of liquid = 20.503 g

Volume of liquid = 25 mL

Density of liquid =..?

Density = mass / volume

Density of liquid = 20.503 / 25

Density of liquid = 0.82 g/mL

A lump of chromium (Cr) has a specific heat of 0.448J/g℃. It is heated to a temperature of 89.5℃ and placed into a calorimeter with 75.2 mL of water at 20.5℃. After stirring, the final temperature of the water, Cr metal, and calorimeter is 27.4℃. What is the mass of Cr metal?

Answers

Answer:

Mass of Cr= 78 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Specific heat of Cr = 0.448 j/g.°C

Initial  temperature of Cr lump = 89.5°C

Mass of water = 75.2 mL or 75.2 g

Initial temperature of water = 20.5°C

Final temperature of water = 27.4°C

Mass of Cr = ?

Solution:

when we placed the lump of Cr metal into water heat lost by limp is equal to the heat gain by water.

Specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 j/g.°C

Q = mcΔT

Q = 75.2 g× 4.184 j/g.°C × (27.4°C - 20.5°C)

Q = 2171 J

Heat lost by Cr lump is -2171 J. Now we will calculate the mass of Cr.

Q = mcΔT

-2171 J = m ×0.448 j/g.°C × ( 27.4°C- 89.5°C)

-2171 J = m × -27.821 j/g

m = -2171 J/-27.821 j/g

m = 78 g

they each have the same density?

Answers

Key concepts

Chemistry

Density

Liquids

Introduction

You probably know that when solid objects are placed in liquid, they can sink or float. But did you know that liquids can also sink or float? In fact, it is possible to stack different layers of liquids on top of one another. The key is that all the different layers must have different densities. You can stack them by picking several liquids with a range of densities or by varying the density of one liquid by adding chemicals such as sugar or salt to it. If you choose colored liquids or add food coloring to each layer, you can even create a whole rainbow of colors in one single glass! Want to see for yourself? In this science activity you will stack several liquids—one by one—and create a colorful density column!

Background

Whether an object sinks or floats depends on its density compared with the density of the liquid into which it is dropped. All types of matter—solids as well as liquids—are made up of many different atoms. Depending on the mass of these atoms, their size and the way they are arranged, different substances will have different densities. The density is characteristic for each individual compound and defined as the mass of a compound divided by its volume. In other words, the more matter there is in a certain amount of volume, the denser a substance is. One cubic centimeter of rock, for example, is much heavier than a cubic centimeter of wood. This is because there is much more matter in the same volume of rock compared with the wood.

ADVERTISEMENT

Liquids can also have different densities. Freshwater, for example, has a density of about one gram per cubic centimeter at room temperature. Any compound—liquid or solid—that has a higher density than water will sink whereas substances with a lower density than that will float. You can test that for yourself by gathering several liquids that you have in your kitchen such as vegetable oil, corn syrup, dishwashing soap, water, rubbing alcohol and more. Which one of these do you think will sink or float in water? Find out in this activity!

Materials

Glass or cup

Water

Food coloring

Scissors

Rubber band (wide)

Small piece of wax

Popsicle stick

At least two small, clear jars or transparent mini cups (two ounces) with lids

Permanent marker

Masking tape

Three tablespoons

Dark corn syrup

Vegetable oil

Penny

Paper towels

Rubbing alcohol, dishwashing soap and other liquids (optional)

Sugar (optional)

Preparation

Gather all your materials at a workspace that can tolerate spills of all the liquids.

Fill a cup with tap water and add a couple of drops of food coloring to the water.

Ask an adult to help you cut and prepare small pieces (about 0.5 by 0.5 centimeter) of the rubber band, the popsicle stick and the wax.

Place the two empty jars in front of you (without the lids) and label them “1” and “2” with a piece of tape and the permanent marker.

Procedure

Take a clean tablespoon and pour two tablespoons of corn syrup in jar 1.

With the second tablespoon, carefully pour two tablespoons of colored water into jar 1 on top of the corn syrup. What happens to the water on top of the corn syrup? Does it mix or stay separate?

Use the third clean tablespoon to pour two tablespoons of vegetable oil in jar “1” on top of the colored water. Do you see mixing of the liquids? What happens to the oil? Does it float on top or sink to the bottom?

Now take empty jar 2 and add the same liquids—but in reverse order. Start by pouring in two tablespoons of vegetable oil.

Answers

Answer:

b. impulse decision

Explanation:

In this scenario, Reggie suddenly decided to drive to the Grand Canyon, because he had never seen it. He didn't even have a map showing him how to get there! Reggie made an impulse decision.

An impulse decision can be defined as a type of decision an individual makes without having a clear thought about the decision. Thus, an impulsive decision is strictly based on an individual's inclination, instinct, whim or sudden desire to do something.

This ultimately implies that, decisions that are made spontaneously without due diligence and considerations refer to an impulse decision.

Hence, Reginald's decision is an impulse decision because he suddenly decided to drive to go see a place (Grand Canyon) he hasn't seen before, even though he had no map to use as a guide or direction.

he descriptions below explain two ways that water is used by plants on a sunny day.

I. In a process called transpiration, some liquid water in leaves changes to water vapor. The water vapor is released into the air through tiny pores in the leaves. This allows more liquid water from the soil to be pulled up the roots and stem to replace water lost from the leaves.

II. Plants use some of this water in leaves in a process called photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, water and carbon dioxide break apart and recombine to form two new substances, oxygen and glucose.

Based on the above description of transpiration and photosynthesis, which type of change happens to water during each process?

In transpiration, because some of its properties change, water undergoes a physical change but keeps its identity. In photosynthesis, because its identity changes, water undergoes a chemical change.
In transpiration, because some of its properties change, water undergoes a chemical change but keeps its identity. In photosynthesis, because its identity changes, water undergoes a physical change.
