Answer:

0.432 drinks are toxic

Explanation:

The toxic dose of ethylene glycol is 0.1 mL per kg body weight (mL/kg). In grams (Density ethylene glycol = 1.11g/mL):

1.11g/mL * (0.1mL / kg) =  0.111g/kg

If the victim weighs 85kg, its letal dose is:

85kg * (0.111g/kg) = 9.435g of ethylene glycol

Using the concentration of ethylene glycol in the liquid:

9.435g of ethylene glycol * (550g liquid / 120g ethylene glycol) = 43.2g of liquid are toxic.

The drinks are:

43.2g of liquid * (1 drink / 100 g) =

<h3>0.432 drinks are toxic</h3>

Which intermolecular force is characteristic of compounds with low molar mass, which are liquids at room temperature and have re
eduard

Answer:

Hydrogen bonds.

Explanation:

The intermolecular forces are the forces that are presented between molecules in a substance. As higher is the force, as closer are the molecules, and more difficult will be to separate them.

Because of that, the solids have stronger forces than the liquids, which have stronger forces than the gases. Also, as strong the force, as higher will be the boiling point.

The ionic bond is the strongest and it's presented at ionic compounds, which are solids at room temperature and have high boiling points.

The covalent bonds are presented in the molecules and are formed when atoms share pairs of electrons. Between these molecules, the forces can be London forces, dipole-dipole forces, or hydrogen bonds.

The London forces are the weaker, they are presented at the nonpolar molecules, so it's easy to boil it. For a compound with low molar mass and London forces, it'll probably be at the gas phase at room temperature.

The dipole-dipole forces are presented at the polar molecules, and it's strong than the London forces. And the hydrogen bonds are a specific type of dipole-dipole forces, which is stronger and is formed between hydrogen and F, O, or N.

Because hydrogen has a low molar mass (1 g/mol), the compounds formed by it intends to have a low molar mass. So, to be liquid at room temperature, low mass, and high boiling point, it's more probable that the compound has hydrogen bonds.

Which acid-base pair will always undergo a reaction that produces a neutral solution? answer?
Vesna [10]
Strong acid on combining with strong base will always give neutral solutions. Consider the following example for the same

HCl            +                    NaOH           ↔             NaCl        +            H2O
(strong                          (strong
   acid)                             base)

In above case, the resultant solution is neutral in nature. 

On other hand, weak acid will react with strong base to form salt and water. But the solution will be basic in nature. Also, strong acid will react with weak base to form salt and water. But the solution will be acidic in nature
