Dose milk freeze faster than fresh water?

Fresh water typically freezes faster than milk due to its lower density and lack of substances like fat and protein that can inhibit the freezing process. Milk's higher fat content and protein content can slow down the freezing process compared to water.


Can you snort thyroxine?

No, you should not snort thyroxine. Thyroxine is a thyroid hormone medication that is typically taken orally. Snorting it can be dangerous and lead to harmful effects on the nasal passages and respiratory system. It is important to take medications as directed by a healthcare professional.


Does fizz make ice melt faster?

What is the initial dose of activated charcoal for an adult that has overdosed?

The initial dose of activated charcoal for an adult who has overdosed is typically 50-100 grams. This can be given as a slurry with water or administered through a nasogastric tube. The activated charcoal works by binding to the toxic substance in the GI tract to prevent absorption into the bloodstream.


How can an electroscope be used to measure dose rate from a radioactive source?

An electroscope can measure dose rate from a radioactive source by detecting the ionization of air caused by radiation. When the radioactive source emits radiation, it ionizes the air around it, allowing electrons to flow and discharge the electroscope. By observing the rate at which the electroscope discharges, one can estimate the dose rate, as a faster discharge indicates a higher radiation intensity. Calibration against known radiation sources is often necessary for accurate measurements.
