Fugu, also known as puffer fish, is a sushi delicacy that can also be lethal. Puffer fish contain a powerful toxin that can kill

an adult a few hours after ingestion. Sushi chefs who prepare fugu must be specially trained because any contamination of the toxin-free areas of the fish can be deadly. Recently this toxin has been put to good use, as scientists have discovered that a purified form of it can treat severe pain in cancer patients. This recent scientific discovery would fall under which area of chemistry?

What is the mass of 22.4L of H2 at stp
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

2.02 g H₂

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry - Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Using Dimensional Analysis
  • STP (Standard Conditions for Temperature and Pressure) = 22.4 L per mole at 1 atm, 273 K

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

22.4 L H₂ at STP

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

STP - 22.4 L / mol

Molar Mass of H - 1.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of H₂ - 2(1.01) = 2.02 g/mol

<u />

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

<u />22.4 \ L \ H_2(\frac{1 \ mol \ H_2}{22.4 \ L \ H_2} )(\frac{2.02 \ g \ H_2}{1 \ mol \ H_2} ) = 2.02 g H₂

If a sample of gold is a cube what is the length of each edge in centimeters
Irina-Kira [14]
<span>This question cannot be answered in actual centimeters unless at least one edge has a known length however it can be written as (length^3) or (length cubed). As an example if the sample of gold cube had one length of 3cm then all lengths would be 3cm on the cube.</span>

The three end stages of stars are Red Giant Phase, Second Red Giant Phase and White Dwarf Phase correct?
solong [7]

Answer: Most of the stars in the universe are main sequence stars — those converting hydrogen into helium via nuclear fusion. A main sequence star may have a mass between a third to eight times that of the sun and eventually burn through the hydrogen in its core. Over its life, the outward pressure of fusion has balanced against the inward pressure of gravity. Once the fusion stops, gravity takes the lead and compresses the star smaller and tighter.

Temperatures increase with the contraction, eventually reaching levels where helium is able to fuse into carbon. Depending on the mass of the star, the helium burning might be gradual or might begin with an explosive flash.
