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.

What is the difference between a pure solvent and a solution? Do they have the same physical properties?
pychu [463]

Answer:

The physical properties of a solution are different from those of the pure solvent. ... Colligative properties are those physical properties of solutions of nonvolatile solutes that depend only on the number of particles present in a given amount of solution, not on the nature of those particles.

The kinetic molecular theory states that all particles of an ideal gas are
Marizza181 [45]

THE KINETIC MOLECULAR THEORY STATES THAT ALL PARTICLES OF AN IDEAL GAS ARE IN CONSTANT MOTION AND EXHIBITS PERFECT ELASTIC COLLISIONS.

Explanation:

An ideal gas is an imaginary gas whose behavior perfectly fits all the assumptions of the kinetic-molecular theory. In reality, gases are not ideal, but are very close to being so under most everyday conditions.

The kinetic-molecular theory as it applies to gases has five basic assumptions.

  • Gases consist of very large numbers of tiny spherical particles that are far apart from one another compared to their size.
  • Gas particles are in constant rapid motion in random directions.
  • Collisions between gas particles and between particles and the container walls are elastic collisions.
  • The average kinetic energy of gas particles is dependent upon the temperature of the gas.
  • There are no forces of attraction or repulsion between gas particles.

Equal volumes of 0.1m naoh and 0.1m hcl are thoroughly mixed. the resulting solution has a ph closest to
son4ous [18]
Lets assume x volume of NaOH and x volume of HCl are added together.
NaOH ---> Na⁺ + OH⁻
NaOH is a strong base therefore it completely ionizes and releases OH⁻ ions into the medium
HCl ---> H⁺ + Cl⁻
HCl is a strong base and completely ionizes and releases H⁺ ions in to the medium. number of NaOH moles in 1 L - 0.1 mol
Therefore in x L - 0.1 /1 * x = 0.1x moles of NaOH present 
Similarly in HCl x L contains - 0.1x moles of HCl
H⁺ + OH⁻ ---> H₂O
Due to complete ionisation, 0.1x moles of H⁺ ions and 0.1x moles of OH⁻ ions react to form 0.1x moles of H₂O. Therefore all H⁺ and OH⁻are completely used up and yield water molecules.
Then at this point the H⁺ and OH⁻ ions in the medium come from the weak dissociation of water. This is equivalent to 1 x 10⁻⁷M
pH = -log [H⁺]
pH = -log [10⁻⁷]
pH = 7
pH is therefore equals to 7 which means the solution is neutral

*WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!<br> Why is it difficult for us to use fusion reactions to produce energy?
kolbaska11 [484]
Fusion occurs constantly on our sun, which produces most of its energy via the nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium. Neither do fusion reactions produce the large amounts of dangerous radioactive waste that fission reactions do. That's why it's such a dreamy source of energy.
