An ideal gas is allowed to expand adiabatically until its volume increases by 50. By approximately what factor is the pressure reduced? (g = 5/3.)
 a. 1.5
  b. 2.0
  c. 2.5
  d. 3.0
  e. 3.5

Question 2

During an adiabatic compression, a volume of air decreases to 1/4 its original size. Calculate its final pressure if its original pressure was 1 atm. (Assume the air behaves like an ideal gas with g = 1.4.)
 a. 7.0 atm
  b. 5.6 atm
  c. 3.5 atm
  d. 2.2 atm
  e. 0.14 atm

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
