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.

When Silver (Ag) forms a metallic bond with other Silver atoms, what do the valence electrons move into? A. the all go to the sa
Korolek [52]

Answer:

D. the sea of electrons

Explanation:

Metallic bonds are defined as the bonds formed between two or more metals. Silver atom form metallic bond with other silver atoms.

In metallic bond, the free electrons or valence electrons present in s and p orbitals delocalize. The valence electrons do not move around the atoms or enter the atoms whereas they form a sea of electrons in which they surround the nuclei (positively charged) of the metal ions interacting. The valence electrons are then freely move in the space between the atomic nuclei.

Hence, the correct answer is "D. the sea of electrons".

An ion has a mass number of 65, 36 neutrons, and a charge of +1 . Identify the element symbol, and determine the number of proto
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Element symbol Cu

Number of protons 29

Number of electrons 28

Explanation:

To get the element symbol, we need the name of the element. To correctly identify the name of the element, we need the proton number.

Now the mass number is 65 and the number of neutrons is 36. The number of protons is this the mass number minus the number of neutrons. This equals 65 - 36 = 29 protons.

The element with 29 protons is copper Cu.

Now to get the number of electrons, for an electrically neutral atom , the number of electrons equals the number of protons. But here, the atom is not electrically neutral anymore as it has now formed a univalent positive ion of +1.

To form a positive ion, you have to do so by losing electrons. The atom in question here has just lost one electron. Thus, our of the 29, it is left with only 28 electrons.

Use the equation 2Cu+02-&gt;2CuO to find how many moles of copper would react with 7.25 mol O2.
Triss [41]
2 Cu + O2 = 2 CuO

2 moles Cu ----------- 1 mole O2
moles Cu -------------- 7.25 moles O2

moles Cu =7.25 * 2 / 1

moles Cu = 14.5 / 1 => 14.5 moles

Answer A

1. Describe the motion of gas particles.
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

The particles in a solid are tightly packed and locked in place. ... The particles in a liquid are close together (touching) but they are able to move/slide/flow past each other. The particles in a gas are fast moving and are able to spread apart from each other.

How is it possible that we have deserts if the water cycle provides water to earth's surface
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Even in a dry desert environment, the water cycle is taking place. The winds here blow up snow from the land and put it into the atmosphere, which is part of the water cycle. And the sun helps out, too, causing sublimation to occur, which causes snow to evaporate directly into water vapor gas
