<u>Given:</u>

Dimensions of the room= 12 ft * 15 ft * 8.60 ft

<u>To determine:</u>

The amount of HCN that gives the lethal dose in the room with the given dimensions

<u>Explanation:</u>

As per the World Health Organization, the lethal dose of HCN is around 300 ppm

300 ppm = 300 mg of HCN/ kg of inhaled air

Volume of air = volume of room = 12 * 15 *8.6 = 1548 ft³

Now,  1 ft³ = 28316.8 cm³

Therefore, the calculated volume of air corresponds to:

1548 * 28316.8 = 4.383 * 10⁷ cm3

Density of air (at room temperature 25 C) = 0.00118 g/cm3

Thus mass of air corresponding to the calculated volume is

Mass = Density * volume = 0.00118 g/cm3 * 4.383 * 10⁷ cm3

= 5.172*10⁴ g = 51.72 kg

Lethal amount of HCN corresponding to 51.72 kg of air would be.

= 51.72 kg air* 300 mg of HCN/1 kg air = 15516 mg

Ans: Lethal dose of HCN = 15.5 g

Answer:

The Sun and the planets were born from a cloud of gas and dust called the solar nebula 4.6 billion years ago. The collapse of the solar nebula was most likely triggered by a shock wave from a nearby supernova explosion. The Sun formed in the center, with the planets surrounding it in a thin disk.

Consider the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of methane (CH4).
Mrac [35]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

                  89.6 L of O₂

<h3>Solution:</h3>

The balanced chemical equation is as,

                                CH₄  +  2 O₂    →    CO₂  +  2 H₂O

As at STP, one mole of any gas (Ideal gas) occupies exactly 22.4 L of Volume. Therefore, According to equation,

             44 g ( 1 mol) CO₂ is produced by  =  44.8 L (2 mol) of O₂

So,

                  88 g CO₂ will be produced by  = X L of O₂

Solving for X,

                        X = (88 g × 44.8 L) ÷ 44 g

                        X = 89.6 L of O₂
