Hello!
I saw this question and instantly knew I could help. I recently took a course on toxic gasses and poisons. Here's what I know.
It can be swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through skin. It is generally released from its host compound by acids, such as the hydrochloric acid found in the stomach. The poison in the seeds is released only if the seeds are chewed.
Effects and symptoms:
Cyanide prevents the red blood cells from absorbing oxygen. It's called chemical asphyxia.
Smelling of a toxic dose of the gas can cause immediate unconsciousness, convulsions and death within one to fifteen minutes.
If swallowed a fatal dose can take up to twenty minutes or longer, esp. if swallowed on a full stomach.
If a near-lethal dose is absorbed through the skin, inhaled or swallowed the symptoms will include gasping for breath, dizziness, flushing, headache, nausea, vomiting, rapid pulse, and a drop in blood pressure causing fainting.
<span>With a lethal dose, convulsions with in four hours, except in the case of sodium nitroprusside, when death can be delayed as long as 12 hours after ingestion. </span>The victims blood may appear purple or cherry red, as in carbon monoxide poisoning, and the corpse may have pinker than normal skin.
<span>the famous bitter almond odor can be a clue and maybe noticeable at autopsy, but not everyone is capable of smelling it.
Hope this helped! :)</span>
Question 1:
(a) Sulfurous acid: H2SO3
Sulfuric acid: H2SO4
(b) Nitrous acid: H2NO2
Nitric acid: H2NO3
Question 2:
To calculate the pH, based on concentration of H+ ions, there is one formula:
So the pH of this solution is
(the solution is basic).
Answer:
K₂CO₃
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Number of moles of K = 0.104mol
Number of moles of C = 0.052mol
Number of moles of O = 0.156mol
Method
From the given parameters, to calculate the empirical formula of the elements K, C and O, we reduce the given moles to the simplest fraction.
Empirical formula is the simplest formula of a compound and it differs from the molecular formula which is the actual formula of a compound.
- Divide the given moles through by the smallest which is C, 0.052mol.
- Then approximate values obtained to the nearest whole number of multiply by a factor to give a whole number ratio.
- This is the empirical formula
Solution
Elements K C O
Number of moles 0.104 0.052 0.156
Dividing by the
smallest 0.104/0.052 0.052/0.052 0.156/0.052
2 1 3
The empirical formula is K₂CO₃
Answer:
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, the molecular chemical reaction is:
Thus, by considering the ionic species we have:
Wherein the ammonium and bromide ions are spectator ions since nickel (II) phosphate is largely insoluble in water, therefore, the net ionic equation is:
