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.

The chemical formula for baking soda is NaHCO. Does baking soda contain metallic or non-metallic elements? Which one is which?
Fed [463]

Answer:

Both metals and non metals.

Explanation:

The correct formula of baking soda is NaHCO₃,

An element is considered to be metal if it is able to give electron easily due to very low ionization energy.

A non metal is ready to accept electron easily due to high electron affinity.

In sodium bicarbonate :

Na: Sodium : metal

H : Hydrogen: non metal (although placed with first group, alkali metals, in the periodic table as it readily loses electron like metals)

C: Carbon: Non metal

O : Oxygen : Non metal.

So the compound contains both metals and non metals.

Which of these statements describes a physical property of hydrogen? Group of answer choices it is found in acids. it is less de
pochemuha

Answer:

it is less dense than oxygen gas.

Explanation:

Hydrogen is the simplest chemical element that exists. The symbol for the chemical element Hydrogen is "H" and it is a colourless, tasteless, odorless, and highly flammable gas.

Hydrogen is a chemical element found in group (1) of the periodic table and as such it has one (1) electrons in its outermost shell. Therefore, Hydrogen has an atomic number of one (1) and a single valence electrons because it has only one proton and one electron in its nucleus.

In Chemistry, the properties of a chemical element that can be observed and measured without changing its chemical nature is known as a physical property. It includes density, color, freezing point, opacity, smell, melting point, viscosity, etc.

Hence, the statement which describes a physical property of hydrogen is that it is less dense (density) than oxygen gas.

If the amount of dissolved solute in a solution at a given temperature is greater than the amount that can permanently remain in
anygoal [31]

Answer:

d. supersaturated.

Explanation:

A solution naturally contains a solute and a solvent. The solute is the solid substance that dissolves in the solvent, which is usually a liquid substance. A solution has a maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in its constituent solvent.

However, when the amount of dissolved solute in a solution at a given temperature is greater than the amount that can permanently remain in the solution at that temperature, the solution is said to be SUPERSATURATED. This means that the solution contains more than the maximum amount of solute.

In many species, a transition metal has an unusually high or low oxidation state. Write balanced equations for the following and
dedylja [7]

When `CO_(2)` is bubbled through a cold pasty solution of barium peroxide in water, `H_(2)O_(2)` is obtained. <br> `BaO+CO_(2)+H_(2)OtoBaCO_(3)+H_(2)O_(2)` Barium carbonate being insoluble is filtered off. This is known as Merck's process.

<h3>What is meant by Perhydrol?</h3>

perhydrol (countable and uncountable, plural perhydrols) A stabilised solution of hydrogen peroxide.

<h3>What is Merck's Perhydrol?</h3>

Uses: Perhydrol is used as an antiseptic for wounds, and also acts as a germicide to kill bacteria and germs.

Being a strong oxidizing agent it has bleaching properties and acts as a ripening agent.
