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.

What is the molarity of a NaOH solution if 48.0 mL of a 0.220 M H2SO4 solution is required to neutralize a 25.0-mL sample of the

Semenov [28]

Answer:

Molarity NaOH = 0.85M (2 sig figs)

Explanation:

48.0ml(0.220M H₂SO₄) + 25ml(Xmolar NaOH)H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH => Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

2(molarity x volume) H₂SO₄ = (molarity x volume) NaOH

2(0.220M x 48.0ml) = 25.0ml x Molarity NaOH

Molarity NaOH = 2(0.220M x 48.0ml)/25.0ml = 0.8448M ≅ 0.85M (2 sig figs)

kykrilka [37]

Answer-The correct option is option d with says all of the above.

Explanation- All three acids that are given combined together to form acid rain in which nitric and sulphuric acid are stronger acids present while carbonic acid is a weaker one.

The carbon dioxide admitted in air combines with water to form carbonic acid and gives a weak acidic nature to rainwater. Pollution in nature makes sulphur and nitrogen present in air react to form the stronger acids responsible for acid rain.
