The answer is: 60.

Tobacco products are made up of thousands of chemicals, including at least 60 known to cause cancer (carcinogens).

Some of carcinogens chemicals are: acetaldehyde, arsenic, radioactive elements (for example polonium-210), nitrosamines, nickel, benzene, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, vinyl chloride.

Smoking tobacco causes at least 15 different types of cancer. For example: mouth, pharynx, larynx, oesophagus, liver, pancreas, stomach, kidney cancer.

How much CaCO3 would have to be decomposed to produce 247 g of CaO

vovangra [49]

441 g CaCO₃ would have to be decomposed to produce 247 g of CaO

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Reaction

Decomposition of CaCO₃

CaCO₃ ⇒ CaO + CO₂

mass CaO = 247 g

mol of CaO(MW=56 g/mol) :

$\tt mol=\dfrac{mass}{MW}\\\\mol=\dfrac{247}{56}\\\\mol=4.41$

From equation, mol ratio CaCO₃ : CaO = 1 : 1, so mol CaO :

$\tt \dfrac{1}{1}\times 4.41=4.41$

mass CaCO₃(MW=100 g/mol) :

$\tt mass=mol\times MW\\\\mass=4.41\times 100\\\\mass=441~g$

How were the elements in the first periodic table arranged?

Snezhnost [94]

Based on atomic mass

Explanation:

Elements were arranged on the first periodic table based on their atomic masses.

The mass of an atom is made up of the mass of the nucleus which contains the protons and neutrons.

Dimitri Mendeleev was the first person credited for arranging elements periodically.
He was said to have been inspired while playing his game of solitaire on a train.
On his table, he left spaces for the atomic masses of elements not yet discovered.
Today, the periodic table is based on the atomic numbers of elements. This is the number of protons in an atom.

What is the molality of a solution of 10 g NaOH in 500 g water?<br>Molar mass NaOH = 40 g

umka2103 [35]

Explanation:

Moles of NaOH = 10g / (40g/mol) = 0.25mol.

0.25mol / 500g = 0.50mol / 1000g = 0.50mol/dm³.

The molarity is 0.50mol/dm³.
