If you're wanting to know true or false, then yes they can.

When they develop a tolerance for it, they don't get the same effects as the did before the tolerance, so then they'd take more of it to get those effects back. If they keep having to increase the amount, they eventually take too much, overdose, and in a lot of cases, die.

You have been working to develop a new fictitious compound in the lab. Determine the amount in units of moles​ [mol] of 20 grams
vodomira [7]

From the chemical formula the total mass of the compound can be determined. The mass of the 1 mole of the compound is its molar mass. The atom by which the molecule is generated, the mass of these atoms are expressed in terms of amu or atomic unit mass, but after formation of a molecule in a particular ratio the mass of each of the atom becomes the total molecular weight of the generated molecule. In this case the molecule posses three atoms X, Y and Z which are in a ratio of 2:2:7. Thus the chemical formula of the compound can be written as X_{2}Y_{2}Z_{7}.

So the total mass of the compound in amu is {(2×47)+(2×42)+(7×16)} = {94+84+112}=290 amu.

Thus 1 mole of the compound contains 290 amu or 290 g  by mass.

Henceforth 20 gram of the compound is equivalent to  (20/290) = 0.068 mole.

Which of the following are nonelectrolytes? Hc2h302 (acetic acid) CH30H (method alcohol) h2So4 and c12h22011 (sucrose or table s
hoa [83]

Answer:

C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ and CH₃OH

Explanation:

Sucrose and methyl alcohol are nonelectrolytes. They do not ionize or conduct a current in aqueous solution.

HC₂H₃O₂ is a weak electrolyte. It produces only a few ions and is a poor conductor of electricity in aqueous solution.

HC₂H₃O₂ + H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + C₂H₃O₂⁻

H₂SO₄ is a strong electrolyte. Its first ionization is complete, so it is a good conductor of electricity in aqueous solution.

H₂SO₄ + H₂O ⟶ H₃O⁺ + HSO₄⁻
