Answer:

Very toxic materials are substances that may cause significant harm or even death to an individual if even very small amounts enter the body.There are a number of very toxic materials that may be used in workplaces. Some examples include carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, chlorine and sodium cyanide

Explanation:

here are generally four types of toxic entities; chemical, biological, physical and radiation: Chemical toxicants include inorganic substances such as, lead, mercury, hydrofluoric acid, and chlorine gas, and organic compounds such as methyl alcohol, most medications, and toxins.

Tris has a molecular weight of 121 g/mol. How many grams of Tris would you need to make 100 mL of a 100 mM solution of Tris

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

1.21 g of Tris

Explanation:

Our solution if made of a solute named Tris

Molecular weight of Tris is 121 g/mol

[Tris] = 100 mM

This is the concentration of solution:

(100 mmoles of Tris in 1 mL of solution) . 1000

Notice that mM = M . 1000 We convert from mM to M

100 mM . 1 M / 1000 mM = 0.1 M

M = molarity (moles of solute in 1 L of solution, or mmoles of solute in 1 mL of solution). Let's determine the mmoles of Tris

0.1 M = mmoles of Tris / 100 mL

mmoles of Tris = 100 mL . 0.1 M → 10 mmoles

We convert mmoles to moles → 10 mmol . 1mol / 1000mmoles = 0.010 mol

And now we determine the mass of solute, by molecular weight

0.010 mol . 121 g /mol = 1.21 g

Why is NaHCO3 a base?

worty [1.4K]

NaHCO3 is a product of a strong base and a weak acid reaction. Thus it has weak basic properties.

HCO3- ion is actually amphoteric, which means it can act as a base or an acid. But it is weaker than a strong acid or a strong base.

<span>HCO3- is amphoteric meaning it acts both as a B.L. Acid and a B.L. Base.. which is why it's used to neutralize both acid and base spills in the lab.</span>

Torrey's neighbor told her that a marble rolling down a hill increases in velocity as it rolls down, but does not increase in ki

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Torrey's neighbour is incorrect because increase in kinetic energy is proportional to velocity. If the velocity increases so will the object's kinetic energy. Because the mass is constant, if the velocity increases, so does the kinetic energy.

1. How is the modern periodic table organized?

Dimas [21]

1. How is the modern periodic table organized? Increasing atomic number

2. What information about an atom's properties can you read from the periodic table? Metal or not metal. Does it want to gain or lose electrons

3. How are the relationships of elements in a group different from the relationships of elements in a period? a group will have similar properties A period will have different properties

4. Would you expect Strontium (Sr) to be more like potassium (K) or bromine (Br)?

potassium

5. Barium (Ba) is in Group 2. Recall that atoms in Group 1 lose one electron to form ions with a 1+ charge. What type of ion does barium form? Ba+2
