Exposure to small amounts of lead<span> over a long period of time is called chronic toxicity. </span>Lead<span> is particularly </span>dangerous<span> because once it gets into a person's system, it is distributed throughout the body just like helpful minerals such as iron, calcium, and zinc. And </span>lead<span> can cause harm wherever it lands in the body.</span>

Lead exposure can adversely affect nearly every system in the body. And because it often occurs with no obvious symptoms, it frequently goes undiagnosed until it's too late. Children younger than age 6 are especially vulnerable to lead poisoning<span>, which can severely affect mental and physical development.</span>

Equations can be balanced by using the half-reaction method. Which step should be completed immediately after finding the oxidat
Dovator [93]
After finding the oxidation states of atoms, you identify the half reactions (option c).

The half reactions are given by the change of the oxidation states of the atoms.

For example if Cu is in the left side with oxidation state 0 and in the other side with oxidation state 2+, then there you have a half reaction (oxidation reaction). And if you have O with oxidation state 0 in the left side  and with oxidation state 2- in the right side, there you have other half reaction (reducing reaction).

What are standard conditions when working with gases?
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

STP in chemistry is the abbreviation for Standard Temperature and Pressure. STP most commonly is used when performing calculations on gases, such as gas density. The standard temperature is 273 K (0° Celsius or 32° Fahrenheit) and the standard pressure is 1 atm pressure.

Find the mass of 3.00 mol of acetic acid, C2H4O2.
Alexeev081 [22]
Molar mass 

C₂H₄O₂  = 60.0 g/mol

n = mass / molar mass

3.00 = mass / 60.0

m = 3.00 * 60.0

m = 180 g of <span>C₂H₄O₂

A certain gas at 2oC and 1.00 atm pressure fills a 4.0 container. What volume will the gas occupy at 100oC and 780 torr pressure
artcher [175]

The final volume V₂=4.962 L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

T₁=20 + 273 = 293 K

P₁= 1 atm

V₁ = 4 L

T₂=100+273 = 373 K

P₂=780 torr=1,02632 atm

Required

The final volume

Solution

Combined gas law :

P₁V₁/T₁=P₂V₂/T₂

Input the value :

V₂=(P₁V₁T₂)/(P₂T₁)

V₂=(1 x 4 x 373)/(1.02632 x 293)

V₂=4.962 L
