A teaspoon of powdered caffeine can be as deadly as a teaspoon of ricin. True or False

Chemistry

kicyunya [14]3 years ago

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Powdered caffeine is not as deadly as ricin. Ricin is one of the most highly potent toxins in the world. A teaspoon of purified ricin powder can kill an adult human.

Powdered caffeine, on the other hand, is not as dangerous but it still being more dangerous than drinking a cup of coffee. Because a teaspoon of powdered caffeine is like drinking 28 cups of coffee. It is said than 2 teaspoons are able to kill a human.

I hope this answer helps you.

Consider the half reactions below for a chemical reaction.
ladessa [460]

Answer:

Option A:

Zn(s) + Cu^(2+) (aq) → Cu(s) + Zn^(2+)(aq)

Explanation:

The half reactions given are:

Zn(s) → Zn^(2+)(aq) + 2e^(-)

Cu^(2+) (aq) + 2e^(-) → Cu(s)

From the given half reactions, we can see that in the first one, Zn undergoes oxidation to produce Zn^(2+).

While in the second half reaction, Cu^(2+) is reduced to Cu.

Thus, for the overall reaction, we will add both half reactions to get;

Zn(s) + Cu^(2+) (aq) + 2e^(-) → Cu(s) + Zn^(2+)(aq) + 2e^(-)

2e^(-) will cancel out to give us;

Zn(s) + Cu^(2+) (aq) → Cu(s) + Zn^(2+)(aq)

What is the molarity (M) of chloride ions in a solution prepared by mixing 155 ml of 0.276 M calcium chloride with 384 ml of 0.4
sesenic [268]

Answer: The concentration of Cl^- ions in the resulting solution is 1.16 M.

Explanation:

To calculate the molarity of the solution after mixing 2 solutions, we use the equation:

M=\frac{n_1M_1V_1+n_2M_2V_2}{V_1+V_2}

where,

n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of the CaCl_2

n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of the AlCl_3

We are given:

n_1=2\\M_1=0.276M\\V_1=155mL\\n_2=3\\M_2=0.471M\\V_2=384mL  

Putting all the values in above equation, we get

M=\frac{(2\times 0.276\times 155)+(3\times 0.471\times 384)}{155+384}\\\\M=1.16M

The concentration of Cl^- ions in the resulting solution will be same as the molarity of solution which is 1.16 M.

Hence, the concentration of Cl^- ions in the resulting solution is 1.16 M.
