Answer: The drug will be poisonous

Explanation:

The human cells contains chemicals which also performs glycolysis; the drug might also harm human beings if the chemist should proceed on manufacturing and using the drug on humans.

This simply means the drug will react with the chemicals in the human cell to result in a poison which will kill the user.

At the end, even though the drug will be successful in killing the bacteria it will also kill the host(the human being).

Therefore the chemist could not proceed because the drug will be poisonous to human beings.

An excess of mg(s) is added to 100.ml of 0.400 m hcl. at 0c and 1 atm pressure, what volume of h 2 (g) can be obtained?
ra1l [238]
The balanced equation for the reaction between Mg and HCl is as follows
Mg + 2HCl --> MgCl₂ + H₂
stoichiometry of HCl to H₂ is 2:1

number of HCl moles reacted - 0.400 mol/L x 0.100 L = 0.04 mol of HCl
since Mg is in excess HCl is the limiting reactant 
number of H₂ moles formed - 0.04/2 = 0.02 mol of H₂

we can use ideal gas law equation to find the volume of H₂
PV = nRT 
where 
P - pressure - 1 atm x 101 325 Pa/atm = 101 325 Pa
V - volume
n - number of moles - 0.02 mol
R - universal gas constant - 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
T - temperature in Kelvin - 0 °C + 273 = 273 K
substituting these values in the equation 

101 325 Pa x V = 0.02 mol x 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹ x 273 K
V = 448 x 10⁻⁶ m³
V = 448 mL 
therefore answer is 
c. 448 mL
