Answer:
0.432 drinks are toxic
Explanation:
The toxic dose of ethylene glycol is 0.1 mL per kg body weight (mL/kg). In grams (Density ethylene glycol = 1.11g/mL):
1.11g/mL * (0.1mL / kg) = 0.111g/kg
If the victim weighs 85kg, its letal dose is:
85kg * (0.111g/kg) = 9.435g of ethylene glycol
Using the concentration of ethylene glycol in the liquid:
9.435g of ethylene glycol * (550g liquid / 120g ethylene glycol) = 43.2g of liquid are toxic.
The drinks are:
43.2g of liquid * (1 drink / 100 g) =
<h3>0.432 drinks are toxic</h3>
Answer:
Scientists seek to eliminate all forms of bias from their research. However, all scientists also make assumptions of a non-empirical nature about topics such as causality, determinism and reductionism when conducting research. Here, we argue that since these 'philosophical biases' cannot be avoided, they need to be debated critically by scientists and philosophers of science.
Explanation:
Scientists are keen to avoid bias of any kind because they threaten scientific ideals such as objectivity, transparency and rationality. The scientific community has made substantial efforts to detect, explicate and critically examine different types of biases (Sackett, 1979; Ioannidis, 2005; Ioannidis, 2018; Macleod et al., 2015). One example of this is the catalogue of all the biases that affect medical evidence compiled by the Centre for Evidence Based Medicine at Oxford University (catalogueofbias.org). Such awareness is commonly seen as a crucial step towards making science objective, transparent and free from bias.
Answer:
a. 63.2%
b. 11.7%
c. 73.3%
d. 0.995%
e. 55.5%
Explanation:
An ionic compound is a compound that is formed by ions, so one of the elements must donate electrons (which is the cation, the positive ion), and the other will receive these electrons (which is the anion, the negative ion).
The power of an element has to attract the electrons is called electronegativity, and so, as higher is the difference of electronegative of the elements, it is more probable that one of them will "still" the electrons and will form an ionic compound. The percent of this ionic character can be found by the Pauling's equation:
*100%
Where 
is the electronegativity difference of the elements. Thus, consulting an electronegativity table:
a. 
= 1.5
= 3.5
*100%
%IC = 63.2%
b. 
= 1.6
= 2.1
*100%
%IC = 11.7%
c. 
= 0.7
= 3.0
*100%
%IC = 73.3%
d. 
= 1.7
= 1.9
*100%
%IC = 0.995 %
e. 
= 1.2
= 3.0
*100%
%IC = 55.5%
Answer:
All elements in the same group of the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons. This made it possible to compare the valence of the alien elements to the valence of elements from our periodic table, and match the alien elements to the correct group. For example, our group 14 elements all have 4 valence electrons, so the alien element with 4 valence electrons had to be part of group 14 also.
