Answer:
We report an unusual case of mercury vapor poisoning from using a heated tobacco product. The suspect had added grains of mercury into 20 cigarettes in a pack. When a 36-year-old Japanese man inserted one of these cigarettes into the battery powered holder, it was heated to a temperature of 350 °C, and he inhaled vaporized mercury. After using 14 of the cigarettes over 16 h, he noticed he had flu-like symptoms so he visited the hospital. Although no physical abnormalities were revealed, 99 μg/L of mercury was detected in his serum sample. His general condition improved gradually and his whole blood mercury level had decreased to 38 μg/L 5 days later. When the remaining six cigarettes in the pack were examined, many metallic grains weighing a total of 1.57 g were observed. Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry confirmed the grains as elemental mercury. Accordingly, the victim was diagnosed with mercury poisoning. Because the mercury was incorporated into cigarettes, an unusual and novel intoxication occurred through the heating of the tobacco product. Both medical and forensic scientific examination confirmed this event as attempted murder.
Explanation:
Answer:
Process 1 is pollination and Process 2 is germination
Explanation:
Pollination is the act of transferring pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma. The goal of every living organism, including plants, is to create offspring for the next generation. One of the ways that plants can produce offspring is by making seeds.
Germination refers to the process by which an organism grows from a seed or a spore. The most common forms of germination include a seed sprouting to form a seedling and the formation of a sporeling from a spore. Thus, germination occurs primarily in plant and fungal species.
I hope this help :)
good luck

Hello there!
In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to solve this problem by recalling both the Avogadro's number for the calculation of the moles in the given molecules of calcium phosphate and the molar mass of this compound in order to secondly calculate the mass as shown on the following setup:

Answer : The maximum amount of nickel(II) cyanide is
Explanation :
The solubility equilibrium reaction will be:
Initial conc. 0.220 0
At eqm. (0.220+s) 2s
The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be,
Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:
Therefore, the maximum amount of nickel(II) cyanide is
The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
2C₁₀H₂₂ + 31O₂ ---> 20CO₂ + 22H₂O
stoichiometry of C₁₀H₂₂ to CO₂ is 2:20
this means that for every 2 mol of C₁₀H₂₂ that reacts - 20 mol of CO₂ is formed
therefore when 5.0 mol of C₁₀H₂₂ reacts - 20/2 x 5.0 = 50 mol of CO₂ is formed
50 mol of CO₂ is produced.
