Hello!
I saw this question and instantly knew I could help. I recently took a course on toxic gasses and poisons. Here's what I know.

It can be swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through skin. It is generally released from its host compound by acids, such as the hydrochloric acid found in the stomach. The poison in the seeds is released only if the seeds are chewed.

Effects and symptoms:
Cyanide prevents the red blood cells from absorbing oxygen. It's called chemical asphyxia.
Smelling of a toxic dose of the gas can cause immediate unconsciousness, convulsions and death within one to fifteen minutes.
If swallowed a fatal dose can take up to twenty minutes or longer, esp. if swallowed on a full stomach.
If a near-lethal dose is absorbed through the skin, inhaled or swallowed the symptoms will include gasping for breath, dizziness, flushing, headache, nausea, vomiting, rapid pulse, and a drop in blood pressure causing fainting.
<span>With a lethal dose, convulsions with in four hours, except in the case of sodium nitroprusside, when death can be delayed as long as 12 hours after ingestion. </span>The victims blood may appear purple or cherry red, as in carbon monoxide poisoning, and the corpse may have pinker than normal skin.
<span>the famous bitter almond odor can be a clue and maybe noticeable at autopsy, but not everyone is capable of smelling it.

Hope this helped! :)</span>

Use Table 1: Analysis of Decay in the laboratory guide to answer this question: Scientists find a piece of wood that is thought
sashaice [31]
1/2=5750 years, 1/2(1/2)=1/4, (1/2)(1/2)(1/2)=1/8, (1/2)(1/2)(1/2)(1/2)=1/6
4 halflives have passed so 4(5750)=23000 years since the tree was chopped down
1000000 atoms (1/2)=500000 atoms(1/2)=250000(1/2)=125000(1/2)=62500 atoms would remain in the wood after 4 halflives
Dinosaurs became extinct around 62 million years ago, so if 14C's half life has a value of 5750 years, it would be gone or in such small amounts that dating would be ineffective today.
As Potassium decays into Argon in 1.3 billion years, apart from volcanic activity, it would enable geologists to effectively date things that are really, really, really old.

If you need to extract a 50 ml aqueous solution with 50 ml of dichloromethane, what is the minimum size of a separatory funnel y
tatuchka [14]

The dichloromethane (DCM) has less density than water and also the polarity of water is much more than DCM. So the mixture of water and dichloromethane will always be a heterogeneous mixture. In the mixture dichloromethane will be always up of the water layer. The volume of the separatory funnel which contains the mixture of DCM and water must have to be more than the total volume of the liquids thus the volume of the funnel will be more than (50+50) = 100mL.

The caution have to consider during the separation are-

1. The separatory funnel have to shake well with lid and have to settle down for some times until the two liquid separated.

2. The lid should be open very slowly as the vapor pressure of DCM is more and it will float on the water.

3. After this the stopcock should be opened and slowly the water will come out first followed by DCM.

A 8.96-L sample of gas has a pressure of 1.86 atm and a temperature of 94 °C. The sample is allowed to expand to a volume of 11.
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Explanation:

All you have to do here is use the ideal gas law equation, which looks like this

P

V

=

n

R

T

−−−−−−−−−−

Here

P

is the pressure of the gas

V

is the volume it occupies

n

is the number of moles of gas present in the sample

R

is the universal gas constant, equal to

0.0821

atm L

mol K

T

is the absolute temperature of the gas

Rearrange the equation to solve for

T

P

V

=

n

R

T

⇒

T

=

P

V

n

R

Before plugging in your values, make sure that the units given to you match those used in the expression of the universal gas constant.

In this case, the volume is given in liters and the pressure in atmospheres, so you're good to go.

Plug in your values to find

T

=

3.10

atm

⋅

64.51

L

9.69

moles

⋅

0.0821

atm

⋅

L

mol

⋅

K

T

=

251 K

−−−−−−−−−

The answer is rounded to three
