Which type of test helps forensic scientists to narrow down the possibilities of what drug a substance may be?

kobusy [5.1K]

The right answer is screening test.

In medicine, screening consists of looking for one or more diseases or abnormalities known as "at risk" in individuals of a given population.

These investigations are followed or not by medical consultations, clinical examinations and treatments.

In addition, screening is a preliminary procedure (test or examination) to detect one or more characteristic signs or symptoms of a disease or syndrome and potentially leading to further investigation.

If I had 3.50 x 10 24molecules of Cl2 gas, how many grams is this?

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

412 g Cl₂

General Formulas and Concepts:

Atomic Structure

Reading a Periodic Table
Moles
Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.

Stoichiometry

Using Dimensional Analysis

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

[Given] 3.50 × 10²⁴ molecules Cl₂

[Solve] grams Cl₂

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Avogadro's Number

[PT] Molar Mass of Cl - 35.45 g/mol

Molar Mass of Cl₂ - 2(35.45) = 70.9 g/mol

Step 3: Convert

[DA] Set up: $\displaystyle 3.50 \cdot 10^{24} \ molecules \ Cl_2(\frac{1 \ mol \ Cl_2}{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ Cl_2})(\frac{70.9 \ g \ Cl_2}{1 \ mol \ Cl_2})$
[DA] Divide/Multiply [Cancel out units]: $\displaystyle 412.072 \ g \ Cl_2$
