BaSO₄ is relatively harmless, but BaS is highly toxic.

BaSO₄ is quite insoluble (240 µg/100 mL). It is a <em>mild irritant</em> in cases of skin contact and inhalation. However, it is <em>safe enough</em> that health professionals ask patients to drink a suspension of BaSO₄. The Ba is opaque to X-rays, so it makes the stomach and intestines more visible to radiographers.

BaS is soluble (7.7 g/100 mL). It reacts slowly with water and more rapidly in the acid conditions of the stomach to <em>release H₂S</em>.

BaS + 2HCl ⟶ BaCl₂ + H₂S

An H₂S concentration of 60 mg/100 mL can be <em>fatal within 30 min</em>.

<em>Don’t eat barium sulfide!</em>

The coefficients in a balanced chemical equation represent
Dafna1 [17]
The coefficients in a chemical equation represent the molar ratio of the substances.

For example, if an equation says 2H2 + O2 ⇒ 2H2O, it means
2 moles of H2 + 1 mol of O2 ⇒ 2 moles of H2O.

Write the condensed formula from left to right, starting with (CH3)x where x is a number.
pochemuha

Complete question:

Write the condensed formula from left to right, starting with (CH3)x where x is a number.

See attached image for the structure formula of the compound

Answer:

(CH₃)₂CHC(CH₃)₃ named as 2,2,3-Trimethylbutane

Explanation:

If we number the longest chain of the carbon starting from the left, we will observe that there are four carbons in the straight chain as shown in the image.

Starting from first carbon from the left of the carbon chain, at carbon number number 2, there two alkyl group, that is two methyl (CH3 is two). Also at carbon number 3, there are three alkyl group, that is three methyl (CH3 is three).

The condensed formula will be written as;

(CH₃)₂CHC(CH₃)₃

This compound is named as 2,2,3-Trimethylbutane, an isomer of Heptane

Marta_Voda [28]

Enrichment of uranium-235 is done. Hence, option A is correct.

<h3>What is the meaning of containment?</h3>

The act, process, or means of keeping something within limits the containment of health costs.

Enrichment is a process of increasing the proportion of fissile isotope found in uranium ore (represented by the symbol 'U') to make it usable as nuclear fuel or the compressed, explosive core of nuclear weapons.

Hence, option A is correct.

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

The reason they don't react is because Elements with full octets are stable, the Elements with no unpaired electrons do not react at all in the decay.
