In large doses it stops cells using oxygen causing these cells to die. So in a small amount it would not kill you. So lets say cyanide is inside the body it would kill off all the cells and your body would not be able to function causing death

it is like a tranquilizer, once in the blood or respiratory system, it is capable or damaging the cells surrounding it and causing your immune system to kill those cells and the healthy ones around it.

one it reaches the brain it could cause internal brain damage from inside the brain instead of outside. it will shrink the cells or may implode then because of the lack of oxygen and neural transition form the brain to the muscles causing paralysis or even death

What will be the volume occupied by 2.5 moles of nitrogen gas exerting 1.75 atm of pressure at 475K?
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

THE VOLUME OF THE NITROGEN GAS AT 2.5  MOLES , 1.75 ATM AND 475 K IS 55.64 L

Explanation:

Using the ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

P = 1.75 atm

n = 2.5 moles

T = 475 K

R = 0.082 L atm/mol K

V = unknown

Substituting the variables into the equation we have:

V = nRT / P

V = 2.5 * 0.082 * 475 / 1.75

V = 97.375 / 1.75

V = 55.64 L

The volume of the 2.5 moles of nitrogen gas exerted by 1.75 atm at 475 K is 55.64 L

Rhenium (Re) is made up of 37.4% 185Re and 62.6% 187Re. The atomic mass of 185Re is 184.953 amu. The atomic mass of 187Re is 186
Anna007 [38]
To calculate the average mass of the element, we take the summation of the product of the isotope and the percent abundance. We calculate as follows:

Average atomic mass = .374 ( 184.953 amu ) + .626 ( <span>186.958 amu )  = 186.208 amu

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
