LD50 is defined as the lethal dose 50% which describes the amount of material required to kill 50% of the testing population. It is given in units of mg of chemical per kg of bodyweight of the recipient.
Comparing hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid, we see that peroxide has a lower LD50 of 900 mg/kg, with acetic acid having LD50 = 3310 mg/kg. When comparing LD50 values, the smaller value will be the more toxic compound. What this means is that in this case, a smaller amount of peroxide is required to kill 50% of the testing population compared to acetic acid.
Therefore, 3% hydrogen peroxide is more hazardous to consume.
Answer:
Sodium chloride solution:
First you need to calculate the mass of salt needed (done in the explanation), which is 58.44g. Then it have to be weighted in an analytical balance in a weighting boat and then transferred into a 2L volumetric flask that is going to be filled until the mark with distilled water.
Sulfuric acid dilution:
First you need to calculate the volume needed (done in the explanation), it is 16.6 mL. Using a graduated pipette one measures this volume and transfer it into a 2L volumetric flask that is already half filled with distilled water, and then one fills it until its mark.
Explanation:
Sodium chloride solution:
Each liter of a 0.500M solution has half mol, so 2L of said solution has 1 mol of salt. Sodium chloride molar mass is 58.44g/mol, so in 2L of solution there is 58.44g of salt. That`s the mass that`s going to be weighted and transferred to a 2L volumetric flask.
Sulfuric acid dilution:
This is the equation for dilution of solutions:
Where "c1" stands for the initial concentration (stock solution concentration), "v1" for the initial volume (volume of stock solution used), "c2" for the desired concentration and "v2" for the desired volume.
When we are diluting from a stock solution we want to know how much do we have to pipette from the stock solution into our volumetric flask. We do so by isolating the "v1" term from the dilution equation:
in this case that would be:
Answer:
A small still is separating propane and butane at 135 °C, and initially contains 10 kg moles of a mixture whose composition is x = 0.3 (x = mole fraction butane). Additional mixture (x = 0.3) is fed at the rate of 5 kg mole/hr. The total volume of the liquid in the still is constant, and the concentration of the vapor from the still (xp) is related to x, as follows: Xp = How long will it take for X, to change from 0.3 to 0.35.
Answer:
248 miles
Explanation:
At an average altitude of 248 miles (400 kilometers) above Earth, the space station is the third brightest object in the sky.
Alloys are supposed to give greater strength to metals, which is why gold is mixed with others to make it harder. They have greater strength and are more resistant to erosion.
