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>

CS2 + 3O2 = CO2 + 2SO2

1 mole of CS2 gives 1 mole of CO2

12 + 2(32) = 76g of CS2  yields 44 g of CO2

Theoretically 1 g of CS2 yields 44/76 g CO2

Therefore 50 g CS2 should yield    50*44 / 76 = 28.95 g

So % yield = 103.6 %  ( which is not possible  because you can't create matter from nothing).

The 30g cannot be right . This is experimental err.

The following reaction shows sodium carbonate reacting with calcium hydroxide.
velikii [3]

Ans: 15.1 grams

Given reaction:

Na2CO3 + Ca(OH)2 → 2NaOH + CaCO3

Mass of Na2CO3 = 20.0 g

Molar mass of Na2CO3 = 105.985 g/mol

# moles of Na2CO3 = 20/105.985 = 0.1887 moles

Based on the reaction stoichiometry: 1 mole of Na2CO3 produces 2 moles of NaOH

# moles of NaOH produced = 0.1887*2 = 0.3774 moles

Molar mass of NaOH = 22.989 + 15.999 + 1.008 = 39.996 g/mol

Mass of NaOH produced = 0.3774*39.996 = 15.09 grams

Determine the number of atoms of O in 92.3 moles of Cr3(PO4)2
Irina18 [472]

739 is the number of atoms of O in 92.3 moles of Cr3(PO4)2.

Explanation:

Molecular formula given is  = Cr3(PO4)2

number of moles of the compound is 92.3 moles

number of 0 atoms in 92.3 moles =?

From the chemical formula 1 mole of the compound has 8 atoms of oxygen

So, it can be written as

1 mole Cr3(PO4)2 has 8 atoms of oxygen

92.3 moles of Cr3(PO4)2 has x atoms of oxygen

\frac{8}{1} = \frac{x}{92.3}

x = 8 x 92.3

x = 738.4 atoms

There will be 739 oxygen atoms in the 92.3 moles of Cr3(PO4)2.
