Methane gas, which may be present in confined spaces such as a basement, can cause death by asphyxiation.

<h3>What are the dangers of methane gas in confined space?</h3>

Low amounts are safe for inhalation. A significant amount can replace oxygen in the atmosphere. Reduced oxygen availability can cause symptoms like weariness, emotional instability, fast breathing, and rapid heart rate. Insufficient oxygen can cause nausea, vomiting, collapse, convulsions, coma. The onset of symptoms is accelerated by physical activity. Organs including the heart and brain can suffer long-term damage from a lack of oxygen.

Contact with Skin: Not irritating. The skin might become chilled or frozen when in direct touch with the liquid gas (frostbite). Itching and numbness are signs of mild frostbite. Burning and rigidity are signs of more serious frostbite.

No evidence of carcinogenicity.

Find the number of moles of water that can be formed if you have 230 mol of hydrogen gas and 110 mol of oxygen gas
Verdich [7]

Answer:

220mol.

Explanation:

Water is H2O. Hydrogen gas is H2. Oxygen gas is O2. You have 220mol of O and 460mol of H. O is the limiting reactant. The ratio O:H2O is 1:1. 220*1=220

A field worker is exposed to a xylene for a duration of 8 weeks at 40 hrs/wk. The concentration of xylene in the workplace is 40
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The chronic daily intake during the period of exposure is most nearly 0.012 mg/kg day.

Explanation:

Number of hours worker exposed to xylene = 40 hr/week\times 8 week = 320 hours

The concentration of xylene in the workplace =40 \mu g/m^3

The worker is inhaling air at a rate of 0.9 m^3/hr.

Amount xylene inhaled by worker in an hour :

= 40\mu g/m^3\times 0.9 m^3/hr=36 \mu g/hr

Amount xylene inhaled by worker in 320 hours:

36 \mu g/hr\times 320 hr=11,520 \mu g=11,520\times 0.001 mg=11.520 mg

1 μg = 0.001 mg

Amount xylene inhaled by worker in 320 hours = 11.520 mg

1 day = 24 hours

Amount xylene inhaled by worker in 1 day:

\frac{24}{320}\times 11.520 mg=0.864 mg

Assuming 70 kg body mass, the chronic daily intake of xylene :

\frac{0.864 mg/day}{70 kg}=0.01234 mg/ kg day\approx 0.012 mg/ kg day

The chronic daily intake during the period of exposure is most nearly 0.012 mg/kg day.

Write the ground state electron configuration of zn using the noble-gas shorthand notation.
V125BC [204]
Atomic Number of Zinc is 30, means it contains 30 electrons. So, its electronic configuration is as follow,

                                    1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰
As,
          1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶  =  Argon
So,
Electronic configuration of Zinc in shorthand notation is as follow,

                                     [Ar] 4s², 3d¹⁰
