The answer is the second one: keratotomy.

Explanation for each option:

  • Keratoplasty: This refers to a surgical procedure involving the cornea, typically a corneal transplant.
  • Keratotomy: This is the correct answer. It refers to an incision made in the cornea.
  • Cornectomy: This term is not commonly used in medical terminology and does not refer to an incision in the cornea.
  • Keratosis: This refers to a condition involving the growth of keratin on the skin or on mucous membranes, not an incision.
  • Corneal ablation: This refers to the removal of tissue from the cornea, often using a laser, but it is not specifically an incision.

Summary: An incision in the cornea is called a keratotomy.

The breakdown of a certain pollutant X in sunlight is known to follow first-order kinetics. An atmospheric scientist studying the process fills a 35.0 L reaction flask with a sample of urban air and finds that the partial pressure of X in the flask decreases from 0.994 atm to 0.385 atm over 60 minutes. Calculate the initial rate of decomposition of X, that is, the rate at which X was disappearing at the start of the experiment. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. atm/s
