Answer:

0.033g

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since 11 mg per kilogram of body weight has the given lethality, the mg that turn out lethal for a chicken weighting 3 kg is computed by using a rule of three:

11mg\longrightarrow 1kg\\\\?\ \ \ \ \ \ \longrightarrow 3kg

Thus, we obtain:

?=\frac{3kg*11mg}{1kg}\\ \\?=33mg

That in grams is:

=33mg*\frac{1g}{1000mg} \\\\=0.033g

Regards.

If 200.0 g of copper(II) sulfate react with an excess of zinc metal, what is the theoretical yield of copper? 1.253 g 50.72 g 79
Helen [10]
1)we need a balanced equation: CuSO₄ + Zn ---> ZnSO₄ + Cu

2) we need to convert the grams of CuSO₄ to moles using the molar mass. 

molar mass CuSO₄= 63.5 + 32.0 + (4 x 16.0)= 160 g/mol

200.0 g CuSO_4 ( \frac{1 mol}{160 grams} )= 1.25 mol CuSO_4

3) convert moles of CuSO₄ to moles of Cu

1.25 mol CuSO_4 ( \frac{1 mol Cu}{1 mol CuSO_4} )= 1.25 mol Cu

4) convert moles of Cu to grams using it's molar mass.

molar mass Cu= 63.5 g/mol

1.25 mol (\frac{63.5 grams}{1 mol} )= 79.4 grams Cu

I did it step-by-step as the explanation but you can do all of this in one step. 

200.0 g CuSO_4 ( \frac{1 mol CuSO_4}{160 g} ) ( \frac{1 mol Cu}{1 mol CuSO_4} ) ( \frac{63.5 grams}{1 mol Cu} )= 79.4 grams Cu

Students working in lab accidentally spilled 17 l of 3.0 m h2so4 solution. they find a large container of acid neutralizer that
bogdanovich [222]

Answer is: 8568.71 of baking soda.

Balanced chemical reaction: H₂SO₄ + 2NaHCO₃ → Na₂SO₄ + 2CO₂ + 2H₂O.

V(H₂SO₄) = 17 L; volume of the sulfuric acid.

c(H₂SO₄) = 3.0 M, molarity of sulfuric acid.

n(H₂SO₄) = V(H₂SO₄) · c(H₂SO₄).

n(H₂SO₄) = 17 L · 3 mol/L.

n(H₂SO₄) = 51 mol; amount of sulfuric acid.

From balanced chemical reaction: n(H₂SO₄) : n(NaHCO₃) = 1 :2.

n(NaHCO₃) = 2 · 51 mol.

n(NaHCO₃) = 102 mol, amount of baking soda.

m(NaHCO₃) = n(NaHCO₃) · M(NaHCO₃).

m(NaHCO₃) = 102 mol · 84.007 g/mol.

m(NaHCO₃) = 8568.714 g; mass of baking soda.

How many grams of K2CO3 would you need to put on the spill to neutralize the acid according to the following equation? 2HBr(aq)+
Mkey [24]

Full Question:

A flask containing 420 Ml of 0.450 M HBr was accidentally knocked to the floor.?

How many grams of K2CO3 would you need to put on the spill to neutralize the acid according to the following equation?

2HBr(aq)+K2CO3(aq) ---> 2KBr(aq) + CO1(g) + H2O(l)

Answer:

13.1 g K2CO3 required to neutralize spill

Explanation:

2HBr(aq) + K2CO3(aq) → 2KBr(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)

Number of moles = Volume * Molar Concentration

moles HBr= 0.42L x .45 M= 0.189 moles HBr

From the stoichiometry of the reaction;

1 mole of K2CO3 reacts  with 2 moles of HBr

1 mole = 2 mole

x mole = 0.189

x = 0.189 / 2 = 0.0945 moles

Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass

Mass = 0.0945 * 138.21  = 13.1 g

At 25∘C, the decomposition of dinitrogen pentoxide, N2O5(g), into NO2(g) and O2(g) follows first-order kinetics with k=3.4×10−5
Annette [7]

Answer:

4600s

Explanation:

2N_{2}O_{5}(g) - - -> 4NO_{2}(g) +O_{2}

For a first order reaction the rate of reaction just depends on the concentration of one specie [B] and it’s expressed as:

-\frac{d[B]}{dt}=k[B] - - -  -\frac{d[B]}{[B]}=k*dt

If we have an ideal gas in an isothermal (T=constant) and isocoric (v=constant) process.

PV=nRT we can say that P = n so we can express the reaction order as a function of the Partial pressure of one component.  

-\frac{d[P(B)]}{P(B)}=k*dt  

-\frac{d[P(N_{2}O_{5})]}{P(N_{2}O_{5})}=k*dt

Integrating we get:

\int\limits^p \,-\frac{d[P(N_{2}O_{5})]}{P(N_{2}O_{5})}=\int\limits^ t k*dt

-(ln[P(N_{2}O_{5})]-ln[P(N_{2}O_{5})_{o})])=k(t_{2}-t_{1})

Clearing for t2:

\frac{-(ln[P(N_{2}O_{5})]-ln[P(N_{2}O_{5})_{o})])}{k}+t_{1}=t_{2}

ln[P(N_{2}O_{5})]=ln(650)=6.4769

ln[P(N_{2}O_{5})_{o}]=ln(760)=6.6333

t_{2}=\frac{-(6.4769-6.6333)}{3.4*10^{-5}}+0= 4598.414s

Recalling that a beaker of water is two dimensional, what is the three dimensional shape of the micelle
saul85 [17]
A micelle refers to an aggregate of a surfactant molecule, which a dispersed in a liquied colloid. In an aqueous liquid, a micelle is arranged in such a way that its hydrophillic head region will be in contact with the surrounding solvents while the hydrophobic tail region will be embedded in its center. 
The three dimensional shape of a micelle is A SPHERE.
