Answer:

The Nautilus travel 5.52\times 10^5 furlongs.

Explanation:

Given: 1 league = 5.556 km

1 furlong = 660.0 feet

To find: 20,000 leagues = ? furlongs

Solution:

20,000 leagues = 20,000\times 5.556 km =111,120 km

1 km = 3280.84 feet

111,120 km= 111,120\times 3280.84 feet=364,566,940.8 feet

If ,1 furlong = 660.0 feet.

Then, 1 foot = \frac{1}{660.0} furlong

364,566,940.8 feet=364,566,940.8 \times \frac{1}{660.0}

=552,374.1524 furlongs\approx 5.52\times 10^5 furlongs

What are some signs of cyanide poisoning visible on a corpse?
lina2011 [118]
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>

The reaction of hydrogen gas and iron oxide is described by the chemical equation below. 3H2+Fe2O3→2Fe+3H2O How many moles of ir
ELEN [110]

Answer:

2.2 moles of Fe will be produced

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles of hydrogen gas = 3.3 moles

Number of moles of iron oxide = 1.5 moles

Step 2: The balanced equation

3H2 + Fe2O3 → 2Fe + 3H2O

Step 3: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 3 moles H2 we need 1 mol Fe2O3 to produce 2 moles Fe and 3 moles H2O

Hydrogen gas is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (3.3 moles). Fe2O3 is in excess. There will react 3.3 / 3 = 1.1 moles

There will remain 1.5 - 1.1 = 0.4 moles Fe2O3

Step 4: Calculate moles Fe

For 3 moles H2 we need 1 mol Fe2O3 to produce 2 moles Fe and 3 moles H2O

For 3.3 moles H2 we'll have 2/3 * 3.3 = 2.2 moles Fe

2.2 moles of Fe will be produced

Cutting a piece of paper in half proves that solids have no definite shape.<br><br> True or False?
erma4kov [3.2K]
False. Solids have a definite shape and volume. Cutting a paper (solid) in half will alter the shape of the original solid and give it a new shape and volume instead. A solid will always have a definite shape. If not, it's not a solid.
