Answer:

See the answer below.

Explanation:

Fire has three major components:

  • Heat
  • Smoke
  • Gases ( in form of CO, CO2 etc)

If the victim had died as a result of the fire, he/he would have inhaled smoke and hot gases from the fire. These components would have resulted in traces of burns and soot deposition in the trachea and lungs as well as traces of CO in the blood of the victim.

If the analysis of the victim's corpse does not reflect some of the results above, it can be effectively concluded that the victim has been dead before the fire.

<em>The single most important indicator of death by the fire would be the presence of CO in the blood of the victim's corpse. All others might be to a less significant degrees.</em>

Answer:

Explanation:

Upon arrival we needed to hunt in this new land we only had five refills and they needed 50 g of gunpowder to be shot once. We only have 15 pounds of gunpowder. It is taking six shots to kill one of these wild turkeys. How many turkeys can be shot with 15 pounds of gunpowder?

If we had plenty of refills, and it takes 6 shots to kill a wild turkey at 50 gms of gunpowder per shot, then each turkey requires 6X50 =300gms of gunpowder.  We have 15X454 gms of gunpowder and have the potential to kill 15X454/300=22.7 or 22 turkeys.and it takes 6 shots to kill a wild turkey.

The limiting reagent is the number of refills, and withonly 5, we are out of luck and can't kill one turkey
