RSB [31]2 years ago

Answer:

0.805 or 0.781 depending on the method used.

Explanation:

<u>Data</u><u> </u><u>provided</u>

half life ie t1/2= 8days.

No= 50g

t=48days

Nt=?

<u>Metho</u><u>d</u><u> </u><u>1</u>

<u>Formul</u><u>a</u><u>:</u><u> </u><u>N</u><u>t=</u><u> </u><u>No</u><u>(</u><u>1</u><u>/</u><u>2</u><u>)</u><u>^</u><u>n</u>

where n= number of half lives.

= t/t1/2 = 48/8

=6.

thus Nt= 50(1/2)^6= 0.781

<u>Metho</u><u>d</u><u> </u><u>2</u>

<u>Formul</u><u>a</u><u>:</u><u> </u><u>Nt</u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>Noe^-</u><u>(</u><u>lambda</u><u>)</u><u>t</u>

where lambda= decay constant

= ln2/ t1/2= ln2/ 8 = 0.086.

thus Nt= 50e^-(0.086×48)= 0.805.

What are some signs of cyanide poisoning visible on a corpse?
lina2011 [118]
Hello!
I saw this question and instantly knew I could help. I recently took a course on toxic gasses and poisons. Here's what I know.

It can be swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through skin. It is generally released from its host compound by acids, such as the hydrochloric acid found in the stomach. The poison in the seeds is released only if the seeds are chewed.

Effects and symptoms:
Cyanide prevents the red blood cells from absorbing oxygen. It's called chemical asphyxia.
Smelling of a toxic dose of the gas can cause immediate unconsciousness, convulsions and death within one to fifteen minutes.
If swallowed a fatal dose can take up to twenty minutes or longer, esp. if swallowed on a full stomach.
If a near-lethal dose is absorbed through the skin, inhaled or swallowed the symptoms will include gasping for breath, dizziness, flushing, headache, nausea, vomiting, rapid pulse, and a drop in blood pressure causing fainting.
<span>With a lethal dose, convulsions with in four hours, except in the case of sodium nitroprusside, when death can be delayed as long as 12 hours after ingestion. </span>The victims blood may appear purple or cherry red, as in carbon monoxide poisoning, and the corpse may have pinker than normal skin.
<span>the famous bitter almond odor can be a clue and maybe noticeable at autopsy, but not everyone is capable of smelling it.

Hope this helped! :)</span>

What else is produced when sodium carbonate decomposes? Na2CO3 Na2O +
andriy [413]

When a single compound breaks down into two or more compounds or elements in a chemical reaction then it is known as decomposition reaction.

The chemical symbol for sodium carbonate is Na_2CO_3.

The decomposition of sodium carbonate is:

Na_2CO_3\rightarrow Na_2O+ CO_2

The decomposition of sodium bicarbonate, Na_2CO_3 will result in the formation of sodium oxide, Na_2O and carbon dioxide, CO_2.

Hence, carbon dioxide, CO_2 will produce with sodium oxide, Na_2O on decomposition of Na_2CO_3.
