Ethanol is highly toxic if it is consumed in large quantities. Although it is the second least toxic of the five alcohols discus

sed in this case, the ingestion of large quantities of ethanol is not safe. One serious problem with ethanol consumption is how the quantity is conveyed to the consumer. For example, American malt liquor can be sold in 23.5 fl. oz. (695 mL) cans and is 12% volume per volume (v/v) ethanol. Although these cans are labeled as containing multiple servings, many young people consider one can to be a single serving. Drinking two cans of this beverage can result in an accidental overdose of ethanol. Two cans may not seem like much until you do the math. In the previous question, you determined that the total volume of pure ethanol in a 695 mL can of American malt liquor is 83.4 mL. To better understand its significance, consider how this volume of ethanol compares with other alcoholic beverages. Calculate the total volume of ethanol in a standard 25.4 fl. oz (750 mL) bottle of liquor (e.g., whiskey, vodka, rum, etc.), which is typically 40% (v/v) ethanol. Enter your answer in milliliters. pure ethanol in liquor: mL Now calculate the total volume of ethanol in a typical 12 fl. oz (354.8 mL) can of light beer, which is 4% (v/v) ethanol. Enter your answer in milliliters. pure ethanol in light beer:

A significant MOE exists compared to developmental toxicity effect levels.

Blood alcohol levels from ABHS approximate consumption of non-alcoholic beverages.

No significant risk of developmental toxicity is expected from ABHS use.

Ethanol-based topical antiseptic hand rubs, commonly referred to as alcohol-based hand sanitizers (ABHS), are routinely used as the standard of care to reduce the presence of viable bacteria on the skin and are an important element of infection control procedures in the healthcare industry.

There are no reported indications of safety concerns associated with the use of these products in the workplace. However, the prevalence of such alcohol-based products in healthcare facilities and safety questions raised by the U.S. FDA led us to assess the potential for developmental toxicity under relevant product-use scenarios.

Estimates from a physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling approach suggest that occupational use of alcohol-based topical antiseptics in the healthcare industry can generate low, detectable concentrations of ethanol in blood.

This unintended systemic dose probably reflects contributions from both dermal absorption and inhalation of the volatilized product.

Why couple use a method of birth control
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

because it will control the birth of a child which can happen alot being overpopulated in the country or world. It also can mange their life and create a small and happy and healthy family.Also the child can get more love and support from their parents if they have less children and it wont be a taruma for the couple as well.  because growing a child can be expensive time costly and really hard.

When 60 mL of 0.22 M NH4Cl is added to 60 mL of 0.22 M NH3, relative to the pH of the 0.10 M NH3 solution the pH of the resultin
densk [106]

Answer:

Will be more acidic

Explanation:

The equilibrium of NH3 in water is:

NH3(aq) + H2O(l) ⇄ NH4⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq).

Where equilibrium constant, Kb, is:

Kb = 1.85x10⁻⁵ = [NH4⁺] [OH⁻] / [NH3]

From 0.10M NH3, the reaction will produce X of NH4⁺ and X of OH⁻ and Kb will be:

1.85x10⁻⁵ = [X] [X] / [0.10M]

1.8x10⁻⁶ = X²

X = 1.34x10⁻³ = [OH⁻]

As pOH = -log[OH⁻] = 2.87

And as pH = 14 - pOH

pH of the 0.10M NH3 is 11.13

Now, to find the pH of the NH4Cl and NH3 we need to use H-H equation for bases:

pOH = pKb + log [NH4⁺] / [NH3]

<em>Where pKb is -log Kb = 4.74 and [] are moles of both compounds.</em>

<em />

Moles of [NH4⁺] = [NH3] = 60mL, 0.060L*0.22M = 0.0132moles:

pOH = 4.74 + log [0.0132] / [0.0132]

pOH = 4.74

pH = 14 - 4.74 = 9.26

That means the pH of the resulting solution will be more acidic
