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.

A 0.3870-g sample of a compound known to contain only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen was burned in oxygen to yield 0.7191Â g of co
olchik [2.2K]
The chemical formula for the compound can be written as,

    CxHyOz 

where x is the number of C atoms, y is the number of H atoms, and z is the number of O atoms. The combustion reaction for this compound is,
   
    CxHyOz + O2 --> CO2 + H2O 

number of moles of C:
     (0.7191 g)(1 mol CO2/44 g of CO2) = 0.0163 mol CO2
 This signifies that 0.0163 mole of C and the mass of carbon in the compound,
        (0.0163 mols C)(12 g C/ 1 mol C) = 0.196 g C

number of moles H:
      (0.1472 g H2O)(1 mol H2O/18 g H2O) = 0.00818 mol H2O

This signifies that there are 0.01635 atoms of H in the compound.
      mass of H in the compound = (0.01635 mols H)(1 g of H) = 0.01635 g H

Mass of oxygen in the compound,
   0.3870 - (0.196 g C + 0.01635 g H) = 0.1746 g

Moles O in the compound = (0.1746 g O)(1 mol O/16 g O) = 0.0109 mols O

The formula of the compound is,
      C0.0163H0.01635O0.0109

Dividing the numbers by the least number,
    C3/2H3/2O

The empirical formula of the compound is therefore,
    <em>  C₃H₃O₂</em>

The specific heat of aluminum is 0.214 cal/g.oC. Determine the energy, in calories, necessary to raise the temperature of a 55.5
Natasha2012 [34]
For this problem, we use the formula for sensible heat which is written below:

Q= mCpΔT
where Q is the energy
Cp is the specific heat capacity
ΔT is the temperature difference

Q = (55.5 g)(<span>0.214 cal/g</span>·°C)(48.6°C- 23°C)
<em>Q = 304.05 cal</em>

You wish to extract an organic compound from an aqueous phase into an organic layer (three to six extractions on a marco scale).
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

It will be better to use solvents that are lighter than water, because their density has an influence on the miscibility . This will give you a better separation during extraction.

HELP! Ethanol has a density of 0.8 g/cm3. a. What is the mass of 225 cm3 of ethanol? b. What is the volume of 75.0 g of ethanol?
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

a) 180 g

b) 93.7 cm³

Explanation:

The density of a substance is the mass of the substance per unit of volume. So, it is calculated as follows:

density= mass/volume

From the data provided in the problem:

density = 0.8 g/cm³

a) Given: volume= 225 cm³

mass= density x volume = 0.8 g/cm³ x 225 cm³ = 180 g

b) Given: mass= 75.0 g

volume = mass/density = 75.0 g/(0.8 g/cm³)= 93.75 cm³≅ 93.7 cm³
