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.

It is found when an unknown solid solute is dissolved in water that the solubility of the solid increases if temperature is decr
mina [271]

Answer:

exothermic entropy is increased

Explanation:

An exothermic process is one whose rate increases when the temperature is decreased. Hence if a decrease in temperature favours the dissolution of more solute at equilibrium, then the process is exothermic.

Similarly, the dissolution of a solute in a solvent increases the disorderliness (entropy) of the system because of the increase in the number of particles present. Hence once a solute in dissolved, the entropy of the system increases.

What was formed when the pacific and north american plates converged?
alukav5142 [94]

There are three kind of tectonic plates movements or interaction which leads to major changes in the structure of earth.

a) Divergent movements: here plates move away from each other leading to formation of rift valley etch. These movements are considered to be constructive in nature

b) Convergent : Here plates move towards each other leading to destruction in the earth.

c) sometimes a little or limited movement of plates (either divergent or convergent) is also observed which is called as transformed movement.

i) When pacific and north american plates converted towards each other they results in formation of San Andreas fault.

Here from the west The Pacific Plate shown movement in northwest direction towards   North American Plate, which is on the eastern side, resulting earthquakes and creation of San Andereas fault

ii) as a result of diverging plats "Mid atlantic Ridge is formed"
