What are some signs of cyanide poisoning visible on a corpse?

lina2011 [118]

Hello!
I saw this question and instantly knew I could help. I recently took a course on toxic gasses and poisons. Here's what I know.

It can be swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through skin. It is generally released from its host compound by acids, such as the hydrochloric acid found in the stomach. The poison in the seeds is released only if the seeds are chewed.

Effects and symptoms:
Cyanide prevents the red blood cells from absorbing oxygen. It's called chemical asphyxia.
Smelling of a toxic dose of the gas can cause immediate unconsciousness, convulsions and death within one to fifteen minutes.
If swallowed a fatal dose can take up to twenty minutes or longer, esp. if swallowed on a full stomach.
If a near-lethal dose is absorbed through the skin, inhaled or swallowed the symptoms will include gasping for breath, dizziness, flushing, headache, nausea, vomiting, rapid pulse, and a drop in blood pressure causing fainting.
<span>With a lethal dose, convulsions with in four hours, except in the case of sodium nitroprusside, when death can be delayed as long as 12 hours after ingestion. </span>The victims blood may appear purple or cherry red, as in carbon monoxide poisoning, and the corpse may have pinker than normal skin.
<span>the famous bitter almond odor can be a clue and maybe noticeable at autopsy, but not everyone is capable of smelling it.

Hope this helped! :)</span>

Describe the three subatomic particles (protons, neutrons, and electrons) in terms of their mass, charge, and location within th

atroni [7]

Particle mass charge      location

protons    1.673*10 ^ - 27 kg 1.6*10 ^ -19 C in the nucleus
neutrons   1.675*10 ^ - 27 kg 0    in the nucleus
electron    9.11 * 10 ^ - 31 kg    -1.6 * 10 ^ - 19 C    around the nucleus (orbitals)

Protons and neutrons have almost same masses. Mass of electrons is 1/1840 the mass of the protons.

Protons and electrons have the same magnitud of charge with different sign. Protons are positive and electrons are negative. Neutrons do not have charge.

Pharmacists sometimes measure medicines in the unit of "grains," where 1 gr = 65 mg. The label on a bottle of aspirin reads "Asp

viva [34]

Answer:

325mg of Aspririn

Explanation:

First you should note the information that the problem gives you:

- The bottle of Aspirin has 5gr (grains)

- 1gr(grain) = 65mg (miligrams)

Also, the problem is asking about how many aspirin are in 5 gr (grains), so you should use a conversion factor, as follows:

-First you should put the quantity you need to convert:

$5grAspirin$

-Then you write the denominator of the conversion factor that must have the same units that you want to convert, in this case gr:

$5grAspirin*\frac{}{1grAspirin}$

-Then you write the numerator with the units that you want to obtain and the numerical equivalence between the units, in this case:

$5grAspirin*\frac{65mgAspririn}{1grAspirin}$

-Finally you multiply numerators and divide by denominators:

$5grAspirin*\frac{65mgAspririn}{1grAspirin}=325mgAspririn$

A solution contains 15 grams of salt per litter of solution. How many grams of salt are in 3.3 litters of solution?

Verizon [17]

49.5g

Explanation:

Mass of salt = 15g

Volume of solution = 1L

Volume of given solution = 3.3L

Unknown:

Mass of salt in the solution = ?

Solution:

Since we have been given the concentration of the salt in the solution, we can use it to solve the problem.

Concentration; 15g/L

Given;

In 1L of the solution we have 15g of salt,

In 3.3L of the solution we will have 3.3 x 15 = 49.5g

The salt is the solute and it represents the dissolved substances.

The oxidation of Cu₂O(s) to CuO(s) is an exothermic process:

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

w = 7376.6 J

Explanation:

To calculate the work done in the system, we need first to calculate the number of moles of all compounds.

The following expression, that comes from the 1° law of thermodynamic, will help you to get the work:

w = ΔnRT

Where:

Δn: difference in the number of moles between products and reactants

R: constant universal of gases (8.314 J / mol K)

T: Temperature in Kelvin.

As we are doing this reaction in STP, then the Pressure is 1 atm, and temperature is 0 °C or 273 K.

Now, we already have the moles of Cu₂O, let's see, according to the balanced reaction, how many moles we should have of O₂ and CuO.

If 1 mole of O₂ reacts with 2 moles of Cu₂O then 6.5 moles of Cu₂O will be:

moles O₂ = 6.5 moles Cu₂O * (1 mole O₂/2 moles Cu₂O) = 3.25 moles O₂

If 2 moles of Cu₂O produces 4 moles of CuO, then 6.5 moles will be:

moles CuO = 6.5 moles Cu₂O*(4 moles CuO/2 moles Cu₂O) = 13 moles CuO

Now that we have the moles, let's calculate the value of Δn.

Δn = moles product - moles reactants

Δn = 13 - (6.5 + 3.25) = 3.25 moles

Now, we can calculate the work done in the system:

w = 3.25 * (8.314 * 273)

Hope this helps
