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

How could you engineer a device that produces beneficial friction and heat?
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Hi

Explanation:

That's why rubbing your hands together makes them warmer. ... Friction causes the molecules on rubbing surfaces to move faster, so they have more energy. This gives them a higher temperature, and they feel warmer. Heat from friction can be useful.

How many sodium ions are in 1.4 kg of sodium chloride, NaCl?
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

1.44 x 10²⁵ ions of Na⁺

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of NaCl  = 1.4kg  = 1400g

Unknown:

Number of ions of sodium  = ?

Solution:

The compound NaCl in ionic form can be written as;

      NaCl →  Na⁺ + Cl⁻

In 1 mole of NaCl we have 1 mole of sodium ions

 Now, let us find the number of moles in NaCl;

  Number of moles  = \frac{mass}{molar mass}  

    Molar mass of NaCl  = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5g/mol

Number of moles  =  \frac{1400}{58.5}     = 23.93mol

 So;

   Since 1 mole of NaCl gives 1 mole of Na⁺  

    In 23.93 mole of NaCl will give 23.93 mole of Na⁺

1 mole of a substance  = 6.02 x 10²³ ions of a substance

  23.93 mole of a substance  =  6.02 x 10²³ x  23.93

                                                   = 1.44 x 10²⁵ ions of Na⁺
