Answer: Three samples that can be used to test for poisons are blood samples, hair samples, and gastric contents samples.

Advantages of hair samples area is that it can indicate past exposure to toxins or poisons and also provide information on how long the exposure has been going on. Poisons can sometimes be detected in hair for long periods of time. The advantages of gastric contents samples area is it shows whether the poison was digested or not. An advantage of blood samples is that it’s the most useful toxicological samples. The disadvantage of hair samples is that the results can be tainted by external sources. The disadvantage of gastric content samples is that it doesn’t always show which toxin was digested. The disadvantage of blood samples is if taken near or from the heart it may have artificially high levels of toxins that wouldn’t reflect the amount distributed throughout the body at the time of death.

If your sample contained a volatile impurity, what value would be in error
weeeeeb [17]
A volatile impurity, is an impurity that evaporates quickly, so, if you were to conduct an experiment on a substance with this type of impurity, the evaporation point, and the mass of the substance at high temperatures would be in error.

What is the wavelength of spectral line resulted from the electron transition from n=3 to n=2 in a hydrogen atom.
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

\lambda=6.56x10^{-7}m

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, it possible to use the Rydberg equation in order to calculate the wavelength for this transition from n=3 to n=2 as shown below:

\frac{1}{\lambda} =R_H(\frac{1}{n_f^2}-\frac{1}{n_i^2} )

Thus, we plug in the corresponding energy levels and the Rydberg constant to obtain:

\frac{1}{\lambda} =10973731.6m^{-1}(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2} )\\\\\frac{1}{\lambda} =1524129.4m^{-1}\\\\\lambda=\frac{1}{1524129.4m^{-1}} \\\\\lambda=6.56x10^{-7}m

Best regards!

The rate of O2 production by the light reactions varies with the intensity of light because light is required as the energy sour
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Light reaction do not depends on dark reaction because the reaction that occur in presence of light cannot occur in dark . Photolysis, one of most important light reaction cannot take place in dark.

Explanation:

If concentration of carbon dioxide is decreased by 50% then the oxygen production will not be affected because oxygen is produced from the reduction of water.

What’s the electron configuration of an N-3 ion
Alla [95]

Answer:

1s2 2s2 2p6

Explanation:

The nitride ion(N^3-) is formed when nitrogen gains three electrons. Nitrogen possesses seven electrons in its orbitals and ordinarily has the electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2 2p3. However,being in group 15, nitrogen can accept three electrons to form the nitride ion and complete its octet of electrons. When this happens, three electrons are added to the nitrogen atom and the electronic configuration is now the same as that of Neon, its closest noble gas which is 1s2 2s2 2p6. Hence the answer given above.

Elements can accept or donate electrons in order to complete their octet structure in accordance to the octet rule which states that atoms and ions must possess eight electrons in their outermost shell in order to attain chemical stability. The reason for ion formation and chemical reaction is in order for species to attain the octet structure.
