LD50 is defined as the lethal dose 50% which describes the amount of material required to kill 50% of the testing population. It is given in units of mg of chemical per kg of bodyweight of the recipient.
Comparing hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid, we see that peroxide has a lower LD50 of 900 mg/kg, with acetic acid having LD50 = 3310 mg/kg. When comparing LD50 values, the smaller value will be the more toxic compound. What this means is that in this case, a smaller amount of peroxide is required to kill 50% of the testing population compared to acetic acid.
Therefore, 3% hydrogen peroxide is more hazardous to consume.
Answer:
a. 300 kg of Fertilizer
b. 225 kg of fertilizer
c.400 Kg of fertilizer
d.600 Kg of fertilizer
Explanation:
The percentage composition ratio of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium bag of the given fertilizer is 40:15:10.
The percentages can be expressed as fractions as follows:
For nitrogen; 40/100 = 0.4
For phosphorus; 15/100 = 0.15
For potassium; 10/100 = 0.1
To find the quantity of fertilizer required to add to a hectare to supply the given amount of nutrients, the amount to be provided is divided by the percentage or fractional compostion of each nutrient.
Quantity of fertilizer required to add to a hectare to supply;
a. Nitrogen at 120 kg/ha = 120/0.4 = 300 Kg of fertilizer
b.. Nitrogen at 90 Kg/ha = 90/0.4 = 225 Kg of fertilizer
c. Phosphorus at 60 kg/ha = 60/0.15 = 400 Kg of fertilizer
d. Potassium at 60 kg/ha = 60/0.1 = 600 Kg of fertilizer
Answer:
Inhaling large concentrations of uranium can cause lung cancer from the exposure to alpha particles. Uranium is also a toxic chemical, meaning that ingestion of uranium can cause kidney damage from its chemical properties much sooner than its radioactive properties would cause cancers of the bone or liver.
Explanation:
You can differentiate between ionic, covalent and molecular compounds by the fact that ionic compounds contain elements that include both a metal and a nonmetal. Molecular compounds contain both non metals covalently bonded to each other. While acids most often on their chemical formula start with the element of Hydrogen - H.
For Eg - sulphuric acid
H2SO4
hydrochloric acid - HCl.
Answer:
None are empirical formulas
Explanation:
All are actual compounds. An example of an empirical formula could be CH2O, the empirical formula for carbohydrates like glucose (C6H12O6).
