Answer:
We report an unusual case of mercury vapor poisoning from using a heated tobacco product. The suspect had added grains of mercury into 20 cigarettes in a pack. When a 36-year-old Japanese man inserted one of these cigarettes into the battery powered holder, it was heated to a temperature of 350 °C, and he inhaled vaporized mercury. After using 14 of the cigarettes over 16 h, he noticed he had flu-like symptoms so he visited the hospital. Although no physical abnormalities were revealed, 99 μg/L of mercury was detected in his serum sample. His general condition improved gradually and his whole blood mercury level had decreased to 38 μg/L 5 days later. When the remaining six cigarettes in the pack were examined, many metallic grains weighing a total of 1.57 g were observed. Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry confirmed the grains as elemental mercury. Accordingly, the victim was diagnosed with mercury poisoning. Because the mercury was incorporated into cigarettes, an unusual and novel intoxication occurred through the heating of the tobacco product. Both medical and forensic scientific examination confirmed this event as attempted murder.

Answer:
162 g Fe₂O₃
Explanation:
To find the mass of Fe₂O₃, you need to (1) convert grams C to moles C (via molar mass from periodic table), then (2) convert moles C to moles Fe₂O₃ (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients), and then (3) convert moles Fe₂O₃ to grams (via molar mass). It is important to arrange the ratios/conversions in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answer should have 3 sig figs to reflect the given value.
Molar Mass (C): 12.011 g/mol
2 Fe₂O₃(s) + 3 C(s) ---> 4 Fe(s) + 3 CO₂(g)
Molar Mass (Fe₂O₃): 2(55.845 g/mol) + 3(15.998 g/mol)
Molar Mass (Fe₂O₃): 159.684 g/mol
18.3 g C 1 mole 2 moles Fe₂O₃ 159.684 g
-------------- x ---------------- x ------------------------- x ----------------- = 162 g Fe₂O₃
12.011 g 3 moles C 1 mole
<u>Answer:</u> The given amount of iron reacts with 9.0 moles of 
and produce 6.0 moles of 
<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given:
Moles of iron = 12.0 moles
The chemical equation for the rusting of iron follows:
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
4 moles of iron reacts with 3 moles of oxygen gas
So, 12.0 moles of iron will react with = 
of oxygen gas
- <u>For iron (III) oxide:</u>
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
4 moles of iron produces 2 moles of iron (III) oxide
So, 12.0 moles of iron will produce = 
of iron (III) oxide
Hence, the given amount of iron reacts with 9.0 moles of and produce 6.0 moles of
Bicarbonate, sodium, potassium
are regulated by the kidneys.
Answer:
Only 3 is correct.
Explanation:
The crystal of a metal or an ionic compound is called a cell, and there are 7 types of unit cells: cubic, tetragonal, orthorhombic, monoclinic, hexagonal, rhombohedral, and triclinic.
In a face-centered cubic cell (FCC) all angles are 90º and all lengths are equal. Each cubic cell has 8 atoms in each corner of the cube, and that atom is shared with 8 neighboring cells. So for a metal crystal, the atom is located at each of the eight lattice points, where it is shared equally between eight unit cells.
