The mass of substance consumed  in g to provide a lethal dose is 62.496 g

The substance has an LD50 of 336 mg/kg. We require the number of grams of the substance that a 186 kg person would consume to reach the probable lethal dose.

So, mass of substance consumed = lethal dose × mass of person

lethal dose = 336 mg/kg and mass of person = 186 kg

mass of substance consumed = lethal dose × mass of person

mass of substance consumed = 336 mg/kg × 186 kg

mass of substance consumed = 62496 mg

Converting to g, we have

mass of substance consumed  in g = 62496 mg × 1 g/1000 mg = 62.496 g

So, the mass of substance consumed  in g to provide a lethal dose is 62.496 g

Which missing item would complete this alpha decay reaction?<br><br> 257/100 Fm= ________+4/2He
maria [59]

Answer: ₉₈²⁵³Cf

253 is a superscript to the left of the symbol, Cf, which represents the mass number, and 98 is a subscript to the left of the same symbol, which represents the atomic number.

Explanation:

1) The alpha decay equation shows that the isotope Fm - 257, whose nucleus has 100 protons and 157 neutrons, emitted an alpha particle (a nucleus with 2 protons and 2 neutrons).

2) Therefore:

i) the mass number decreased in 4, from 257 to 257 - 4 = 253.

2) the atomic number decreased in 2, from 100 to 100 - 2 = 98.

3) Hence the formed atom has atomic number 98, which is californium, Cf, and the isotope is californium - 253.

4) The item that completes the given alpha decay reaction is:

₉₈²⁵³ Cf.

5) The complete alfpha decay reaction is:

₁₀₀²⁵⁷ Fm → ₉₈²⁵³Cf + ₂⁴He

You can verify the mass balance:

257 = 253 + 4, and

100 = 98 + 2

The length breadth and thickness of a brick is 18cm 8 cm and 5cm respictively find the area of the widest part of rhe brick​
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

144cm²

Explanation:

Given dimensions:

     Length x breadth x thickness

        18cm  x   8cm    x    5cm

The widest part of this figure will be the face containing the length and the breadth.

The breadth is the width of the figure;

Area of the widest part  = length x breadth = 18cm x 8cm  = 144cm

The area of the widest part of the figure is 144cm²

En un recipiente colocamos unos cubos de hielo luego tapamos y observamos que sucede despues de un tiempo
SSSSS [86.1K]

Three questions come along with the given statement. It is in Spanish language:



a) Por qué se humedeció la parte exterior del frasco?


b) Por qué el hielo disminuyó su volumen y ahora es agua?


c) Por qué puede haber agua en el exterior?



These are the three answers (in English).



First question:



a) Por qué se humedeció la parte exterior del frasco?



The question is Why did the outside of the bottle get wet?



Answer:



The outside of the bottle get wet because the ice cubes cooled the walls of the bottle, so the air surrounding the bottle also cooled.



The air contains humidity (water) in gas phase. The hotter the air the more the amount of humidity it can retain, the cooler the air the less the amount of humidity it can retain.


Then, when the air close to the walls of the bootle got cooler some of the water in the air became liquid and those are the drops of water that you see in the outside of the bottle.



Second question



b) Por qué el hielo disminuyó su volumen y ahora es agua?



The question is Why did the ice diminish its volume and now it is water?



Answer:




The ice diminished its volume and now it is water, becasue the ice, which is cooler than the surroundings, received heat energy (from the surroundings) and then its temperature increased. At some moment, this temperature reached the melting point of the ice (water) and it started to become liquid.



Third question



c) Por qué puede haber agua en el exterior?



The question is: Why can there be water outside?




Answer:



The water outside is outside since the beginning: it is in the air. You do not see it because it is gas state. When the air close to the walss of the bottle got cooler, part of the water in the air became liquid.
