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>

A. Match the term with its definition. (1 point)
Assoli18 [71]

Taking into account the definition of wavelength, frecuency and propagation speed:

  • Frequency: The number of waves passing a point in 1 second.
  • Wavelength: The distance between two adjacent wave peaks.
  • Velocity:  The direction and speed at which a wave is traveling.

The equation that illustrates the relationship between wave velocity, frequency, and wavelength is v = f×λ.

<h3>Wavelength</h3>

Wavelength is the minimum distance between two successive points on the wave that are in the same state of vibration. It is expressed in units of length (m).

<h3>Frequency</h3>

On the other side, frequency is the number of vibrations that occur in a unit of time. Its unit is s⁻¹ or hertz (Hz).

<h3>Propagation speed or velocity</h3>

Finally, the propagation speed is the speed with which the wave propagates in the medium, that is, it is the magnitude that measures the speed at which the wave disturbance propagates along its displacement.

The propagation speed relate the wavelength (λ) and the frequency (f) inversely proportional using the following equation:

v = f×λ

All electromagnetic waves propagate in a vacuum at a constant speed of 2,998 x 10⁸ m / s, the speed of light.

Therefore, the previous expression establishes an inversely proportional relationship between the frequency and the wavelength: The higher the frequency, the lower the wavelength and when the frequency is lower, the greater the wavelength.

<h3>Summary</h3>

In summary, the definition of frequency, wavelength and velocity are:

  • Frequency: The number of waves passing a point in 1 second.
  • Wavelength: The distance between two adjacent wave peaks.
  • Velocity:  The direction and speed at which a wave is traveling.

Finally, the equation that illustrates the relationship between wave velocity, frequency, and wavelength is v = f×λ.

Explain why you usually can't use just a single spectrum line to confirm the identity of an element
Agata [3.3K]
You can't usually just use a  single spectrum line to confirm the identity of an element because there are cases that the emission line id not clearly defined.  When the emission line is very weak compared to surrounding noise, in which case the more datapoints you have to build up confidence for the existence of a particular emission spectra, the better.

How would you prepare 3.5 L of a 0.9M solution of KCl?
PolarNik [594]
V=3,5L\\&#10;Cm=0,9M\\&#10;M_{KCl}=74\frac{g}{mol}\\\\&#10;C_{m}=\frac{n}{V}\\\\&#10;n=\frac{m}{M}\\\\&#10;C_{m}=\frac{m}{MV} \ \ \ \Rightarrow  \ \ \ m=C_{m}MV\\\\&#10;m=0,9\grac{mol}{L}*74\frac{g}{mol}*3,5L=233,1g

B. Add 233 g of KCl to a 3.5 L container; then add enough water to dissolve the KCl and fill the container to the 3.5 L mark.
