Answer:
We report an unusual case of mercury vapor poisoning from using a heated tobacco product. The suspect had added grains of mercury into 20 cigarettes in a pack. When a 36-year-old Japanese man inserted one of these cigarettes into the battery powered holder, it was heated to a temperature of 350 °C, and he inhaled vaporized mercury. After using 14 of the cigarettes over 16 h, he noticed he had flu-like symptoms so he visited the hospital. Although no physical abnormalities were revealed, 99 μg/L of mercury was detected in his serum sample. His general condition improved gradually and his whole blood mercury level had decreased to 38 μg/L 5 days later. When the remaining six cigarettes in the pack were examined, many metallic grains weighing a total of 1.57 g were observed. Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry confirmed the grains as elemental mercury. Accordingly, the victim was diagnosed with mercury poisoning. Because the mercury was incorporated into cigarettes, an unusual and novel intoxication occurred through the heating of the tobacco product. Both medical and forensic scientific examination confirmed this event as attempted murder.

<u>Answer:</u>
"Boyle's Law" is based on the graph that is shown below.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Boyle's law or Boyle – Mariotte law or Mariotte's law, is an experimental gas law that discusses how a gas's pressure tends to rise as the container volume start declining. This shows the relationship between pressure and volume for a fixed mass at a constant temperature, i.e., number of a gas molecules.This rule visualizes the actions of gas molecules in a confined space. This law can be understood from following equation:
p₁V₁ = p₂V₂
Above the product of the initial volume and pressure is equal to the product of the volume and pressure after a change.
Answer:
Three orbitals
Explanation:
The electronic configuration of carbon is given as follows;
1s²2s²2p²
Therefore, out of the six electrons of the carbon atoms, 4 fill the 1s and 2s orbitals with 2 electrons each, while the two remaining electrons are situated in the 2p orbital, with the electrons in the 2p orbital will remain unpaired such that they will have similar quantum numbers in accordance with Pauli exclusion principle.
