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.

You are given a solution of HCOOH (formic acid) with an approximate concentration of 0.20 M and you will titrate this with a 0.1

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{36 mL}}$

Explanation:

1. Write the balanced chemical equation.

$\rm HCOOH + NaOH $ \longrightarrow$ HCOONa + H$_{2}$O$

2. Calculate the moles of HCOOH

$\text{Moles of HCOOH} =\text{20.00 mL HCOOH } \times \dfrac{\text{0.20 mmol HCOOHl}}{\text{1 mL HCOOH}} = \text{4.00 mmol HCOOH}$

3. Calculate the moles of NaOH.

$\text{Moles of NaOH = 4.00 mmol HCOOH } \times \dfrac{\text{1 mmol NaOH} }{\text{1 mmol HCOOH}} = \text{4.00 mmol NaOH}$

4. Calculate the volume of NaOH

$c = \text{4.00 mmol NaOH } \times \dfrac{\text{1 mL NaOH }}{\text{0.1105 mmol NaOH }} = \textbf{36 mL NaOH }\\\\\text{The titration will require }\boxed{\textbf{36 mL of NaOH}}$

During laparoscopic surgery , carbon dioxide gas is used to expand the abdomen to help create a larger working space. If 4.80 L

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

5.37 L

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to use the PV=nRT equation.

First we calculate the amount of CO₂, using the initial given conditions for P, V and T:

P = 785 mmHg ⇒ 785/760 = 1.03 atm

V = 4.80 L

T = 18 °C ⇒ 18 + 273.16 = 291.16 K

1.03 atm * 4.80 L = n * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 291.16 K

We solve for n:

n = 0.207 mol

Then we use that value of n for another PV=nRT equation, where T=37 °C (310.16K) and P = 745 mmHg (0.98 atm).

0.98 atm * V = 0.207 mol * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 310.16 K

And we solve for V:

V = 5.37 L

Answer:

Tectonic plates

Explanation:

All the natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanoes and geysers appear throughout the region of New Zealand because of the movement of tectonic plates underneath the surface. New Zealand rests on the edges of two tectonic plates including the Pacific and the Australian plates.
