Answer:

2,375 cans

Explanation:

The strategy here is to use the information given to calculate the lethal dosage contained in the number of cans we will compute.

We know the lethal dosage is

Ld = 10.0 g caffeine

and we also know that the oncentration of caffeine is:

2.85 mg/ oz

So our problem simplifies to calculate how many oz will contain the lethal dose, and then given the ounces per can determine how many cans are required.

First convert the lethal dose in grams to mg:

Ld =( 10 g x 1000 mg ) = 10,000 mg caffeine

10,000 mg x ( 1 Oz / 2.85 mg ) = 28,500 oz

28500 oz x ( 1 can/12 oz ) = 2,375 cans

We could also have calculated it in one step  using conversion factors:

Number of cans = 10000 mg x 1 oz/ 2.85 mg x 1 can / oz = 2,375 cans

Why bleaching powder doesn't dissolve in water completely?​
Papessa [141]

Answer:

bleaching powder is actually a mixture of calcium chloride, calcium hydroxide and calcium hypochlorite. hence it is not a single salt. It is not completely soluble in water as it composed of heavy calcium salts, which are known to be insoluble in water.

In this task, you’ll observe a chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar in water. write a hypothesis to predict the rel
Archy [21]

Answer:

Increase in the concentration of the reactants (vinegar and baking soda) leads to an increase in the rate of reaction (more volume of CO2 is evolved within a shorter time)

Explanation:

The chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar in water is shown in the chemical reaction equation below;

NaHCO3(aq) + CH3COOH(aq) ----->CO2(g) + H2O(l) + CH3COONa(aq)

The chemical name of baking soda is sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) while vineager is a dilute acetic acid (CH3COOH) solution. This reaction provides a very easy set up in which we can study the effect of concentration on the rate of chemical reaction.

We must have it behind our minds that increase in the concentration of reactant species increases the rate of chemical reaction. Secondly, the rate of the reaction between baking soda and vinegar can be monitored by observing the volume of CO2 evolved and how quickly it evolves from the reaction mixture.

We can now postulate a hypothesis which states that; 'increase in the concentration of the reactants (vinegar and baking soda) leads to an increase in the rate of reaction (more volume of CO2 is evolved within a shorter time).'

If we go ahead to subject this hypothesis to experimental test, it will be confirmed to be true because a greater volume of CO2 will be evolved within a shorter time as the concentration of the reactants increases.

Which of the following species has the greatest
Licemer1 [7]

Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When there is a negative charge on an atom then we add the charge with the number of electrons. Whereas when there is a positive charge on an atom then we subtract the charge from the number of electrons.

Atomic number of chlorine is 17. So, number of electrons present in Cl^{-} is 17 + 1 = 18 electrons.

Atomic number of cobalt is 27. So, number of electrons present in Co^{4+} is 27 - 4 = 23 electrons.

Atomic number of iron is 26. So, number of electrons present in Fe^{2+} is 26 - 2 = 24 electrons.

Atomic number of vanadium is 23. So, number of electrons present in V is 23 electrons.

Atomic number of scandium is 21. So, number of electrons present in Sc^{2-} is 21 + 2 = 23 electrons.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given species, Fe^{2+} has the greatest  number of electrons.
