Answer:

Hemlock contains poisons that affect the transmission of nerve impulses to muscle. Death occurs by respiratory failure.

Explanation:

Hemlock is a very poisonous plant. In fact, all parts of the plant are toxic. Hemlock is most poisonous during the early stages of growth in the spring, but it is dangerous at all stages of growth. The poisons in hemlock are so deadly that people have died after eating game birds that had eaten hemlock seeds.

Answer:

$1.7\cdot 10^{15} g$

Explanation:

Glucose reacts with oxygen do produce carbon dioxide and water:

$C_6H_12O_6 (s) + 6 O_2 (g)\rightarrow 6 CO_2 (g) + 6 H_2O (l)$

Given a daily mass of glucose:

$m_1 = 5.0\cdot 10^2 g$

Find moles of glucose:

$n_1 = {5.0\cdot 10^2 g}{180.156 g/mol} = 2.775 mol$

From stoichiometry of this equation, moles of carbon dioxide can be found by multiplying this amount by 6:

$n_2 = 2.775 mol\cdot 6=16.65 mol$

Convert this into mass using the molar mass of carbon dioxide:

$m_2 = 16.65 mol\cdot 44.01 g/mol = 732.8 g$

This is the mass of carbon dioxide per person per day. Multiply by the population and by the number of days to get the total mass:

$732.8 \frac{g}{person\cdot day}\cdot 365 days\cdot 6.5\cdot 10^9 people = 1.7\cdot 10^{15} g$

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. Instead of melting, solid carbon dioxide sublimes according to the following equation: CO2(s)→C

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

$m=8.79kg$

Explanation:

First of all we need to calculate the heat that the water in the cooler is able to release:

$Q=\rho * V*Cp*\Delta T$

Where:

Cp is the mass heat capacity of water
V is the volume
$\rho$ is the density

$Q=1 g/cm^3 *15000 cm^3*4.184 \frac{J}{g*^{\circ}C}*(10-90)^{\circ}C$

$Q=-5020800 J=-5020.8 kJ$

To calculate the mass of CO2 that sublimes:

$-Q=\Delta H_{sub}*m$

Knowing that the enthalpy of sublimation for the CO2 is: $\Delta H_{sub}=571 kJ/kg$

$5020.8 kJ=571 kJ/kg*m$

$m=\frac{5020.8 kJ}{571 kJ/kg}=8.79kg$

Identify two acids and two bases that you use or come into contact with in an average week. Identify uses for each substance.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Explanation:

Two acids we come into contact with in an average week

Vinegar is an 10% solution of acetic acid $(CH_3COOH)$ in water. Used in salad dressing and while cooking food. It has a sour taste.
Citric acid present in fruits and vegetables like : lemons, orange, tomatoes etc. It is a weak organic acid with sour taste.

Two bases we come into contact with in an average week.

Baking soda ( $NaHCO_3$ ) is used in baking food like: cakes, cookies, breads. Baking soda is one of the ingredient while baking breads and cakes.
Caustic soda (NaOH) is used for preparation of detergents, papers , soaps etc. We use soaps and detergents for washing.
