Answer:
We report an unusual case of mercury vapor poisoning from using a heated tobacco product. The suspect had added grains of mercury into 20 cigarettes in a pack. When a 36-year-old Japanese man inserted one of these cigarettes into the battery powered holder, it was heated to a temperature of 350 °C, and he inhaled vaporized mercury. After using 14 of the cigarettes over 16 h, he noticed he had flu-like symptoms so he visited the hospital. Although no physical abnormalities were revealed, 99 μg/L of mercury was detected in his serum sample. His general condition improved gradually and his whole blood mercury level had decreased to 38 μg/L 5 days later. When the remaining six cigarettes in the pack were examined, many metallic grains weighing a total of 1.57 g were observed. Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry confirmed the grains as elemental mercury. Accordingly, the victim was diagnosed with mercury poisoning. Because the mercury was incorporated into cigarettes, an unusual and novel intoxication occurred through the heating of the tobacco product. Both medical and forensic scientific examination confirmed this event as attempted murder.

Answer:
The answer to your question is the letter D. a decomposition reaction
Explanation:
This is a brief description of the main chemical reactions.
a) A synthesis reaction is when two reactants are combined to form only one product.
b) A disynthesis reaction. I have not heard about this chemical reaction, I think it does not exist.
c) A combustion reaction is when an organic molecule reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.
d) A decomposition reaction is when one reactant splits to form two or more products.
Atomic number The atomic number of each element is different than other Elements.
Answer:
1 mole of propane combines with 5 moles of oxygen gas to produce 3 mole of carbon dioxide and 4 moles of water.
Explanation:
The word equation for the combustion of propane can be obtained from the chemical equation;
C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O
The word equation is therefore:
1 mole of propane combines with 5 moles of oxygen gas to produce 3 mole of carbon dioxide and 4 moles of water.
For such a combustion reaction, carbon dioxide and water are produced in the process.
Ionic bonds are formed from the attraction of oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound
