Name the pulmonary disease in which alveolar surface area involved in gas exchange is drastically reduced due to damage to alveolar walls

A group between x/m and the presure P of the gas at a constant temperature is called adsorption siotherm. Where x is the no. of moles of the adsorbate and m is the mass of the adsorbent. adsoption isotherms of different shaopes have been experimentally observed .. According to frundlich adosroption isthem, x//m = KP^(1//n) where K and N are constant paraments depending upon the nature of the solid and gas Inn the given isotherm select the incorrect statement : x/m proptoP^(1//n along OA, x/m proptoP^(1//n when point B is reached , x/m does not increase as rapidly with pressure along BC due to less surface area availble for adsorption .

Deep sea divers have been using the compressed air containing N_2 in addition to O_2 for breathing. When the sea divers breathes in compressed air at a depth, more N_2 dissolves in the blood and other body fluids than would dissolved at the surface because the pressure at the depth is far greater than surface atmospherice p ressure. when the diver comes towards the surface, the pressure decreases and N_2 comes out of the body quickly forming bubbles in the stream which restrict blood flow and affect the transmission of nerve impuses. this results into a condition called 'the bends' which is dangerous and painful. To avoid this condition, professionals now use air diluted with helium. As a student of chemistry, can you analyse as to why helium is used?

Aditya particiated in a group discussion in his school on "The ill-effects of Tobacco on Human Health". In the evening he goes with his family for dinner and insists on sitting in the "Non-Smoking Area" to which his father (who is a heavy smoker) objects. In this situation, who wins your support- Aditya's concern for health & environment or his father's objection? Justify giving two reasons.

1g of charcoal adsorbs 1 00mL of 0.6 M CH_3COOH to form a monolayer and thereby molarity of acetic acid is reduced to 0.49 M. Calculate the surface area of the charcoal adsorbed by each molecule of acetic acid. Surface area of charcoal = 3.01 xx10^2 m^2//g

In the evening he goes with his family for dinner and insists on sitting in the "Non-Smoking Area" to which his father (who is a heavy smoker) objects. Suggest any three effective propaganda campaigns for anti-tobacco awareness.

Wiens Law (lambda_(m)) corresponding to which energy emitted per sec per unit area by a perfectly black body (surface) is maximum is inversly proportional to the absolute temp (T) of the black body . lambda_(m)prop(1)/(T)orlambda_(m)=(b)/(T) Where b is a constant of proportionality and is called Wein's constant b=2.898xx10^(-3)mK . Is the statement True?
