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.

Which scientist performed the cathode ray experiment leading to the discovery of electrons
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

The scientist that performed the cathode ray experiment leading to the discovery of electrons is J.J. Thomson.

<h3>What is a cathode ray?</h3>

A cathode ray is a tube that contains negatively charged electrode( that is the cathode) which emits electrons when heated at a low pressure.

The cathode ray was used by the scientist, J.J. Thomson to find the ratio of charge to mass (e/m) of the electrons.

Therefore, the scientist that performed the cathode ray experiment leading to the discovery of electrons is J.J. Thomson.

How many dm3 of oxygen at STP would be required to react completely with 38.8g of propane? (3 marks)
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

98.56 dm^3 of oxygen at STP would be required to react completely with 38.8g of propane.

<u>Given that :</u>

molar mass of propane = 44 g/mol

mass of propane = 38.8 g

∴ Moles present in 38.8 g of propane = \frac{38.8}{44} = 0.88 mole

<u>applying rule of balanced equations </u>

1 mole of propane = 5 moles of oxygen

0.88 mole of propane =  5 * 0.88 = 4.4 moles of oxygen

Note : volume of 1 mole of oxygen at STP = 22.4 dm^3

∴Total volume of oxygen required at STP = 22.4 * 4.4 = 98.56 dm^3

Hence we can conclude that the volume of oxygen at STP required to react completely 98.56 dm^3

When an aqueous solution containing hydrochloric acid is just neutralized with an aqueous solution containing sodium hydroxide,
Elza [17]

Answer:

c. salty.

Explanation:

From the question,

The reaction of an acid , i.e hydrochloric acid and a base i.e. , sodium hydroxide takes place , which is a type of neutralization reaction,

Where the acid and a base reacts to give salt along with water .

From the question,

The reaction is as follows -

2 HCl  +  NaOH  →  NaCl  +  H₂O  

Hence, the resulting product is a salt ,

Therefore , the resulting solution would taste like salt.
