How many ml are in 50oz?

None, since there can be no conversion. An ounce is a measure of mass. A millilitre is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid. Consider a millilitre of air. How many ounces? Next consider the same volume of water. How many ounces?

Can drinking distilled water cause you to have nausea?

Distilled water is the most harmless substance you can consume, however, it is still possible to consume it to excess, if you drink half a gallon or more at a time (which you should not do, to be clear). In moderate quantities, no, it won't cause nausea.

Why do fish drink salt water but humans can't?

Actually, only salt water fish can drink salt water (not fresh water fish), as they have ways to get rid of the extra salt in the water via their gills, specialized salt glands, etc.. Here is a key principle - our body fluids have a very narrow range of osmolarity, meaning if we get too 'salty' or on the other end, if we are too diluted - we could die for various reasons. If we drink water with more salt than our body fluids (or other solutes), we need to get rid of the extra solutes, and the only way to get rid of it is by water and that water comes from our existing body fluids. Salt water fish are not the only ones that can deal with drinking salt water, as some land animals, like seagulls, have supraorbital salt glands above their noses to get rid of a very concentrated salt fluid - that's how they can drink ocean water without losing their existing body fluids. Sharks, skates, rays, and some reptiles etc. can do this too.

What would happen if there is no water left on earth?

We would not be able to survive.

Why? 1. Humans need water. Animals need water. Plants need water. EVERYTHING NEEDS WATER. Plants make their own food, but need water. Animals eat plants. We eat animals and plants.

So if we were to remove plants [because there wouldn't be water for them to grow]

Humans --> Animals --> Plants

Humans --> Animals --> Plants

If we were to remove plants, which is the food that ourfood eat, then animals would die [for they cannot eat] then the last question is--what would we eat?

2. Plants need water. OK, what else are plants known for? Giving out oxygen. So if there are no plants, there wouldn't be any oxygen. Oxygen is needed for humans and animals to survive. So without oxygen, BLECK. We're finished.

Which is lighter fresh or salt water?

Fresh water (of the same temperature) has the lower density ('lighter').

Does water attract proteins?

One of the reasons for protein to be stable in buffer is the solubility of proteins. Protein forms in a way to display their hydrophilic amino acids to the surface and hydrophobic core with in the structure. hence the water molecule can interact with the polar amino acids of proteins.

Does the heart beat a slower rate in freezing ice cold arctic waters?

Really what happens is your main body temperature lowers so your heart pumps faster and faster resulting in it shutting down.this is called hyperthermia.

What happens if you drink pencil lead?

Pencil lead is made of graphite, which is just carbon. It won't really do anything to you, except it will taste like crap and give you indigestion if you somehow eat enough of it.

Can drinking water and detergent kill you?

Yes, consuming a mixture of water and detergent can be extremely harmful and potentially fatal. Detergents contain chemicals that are not meant to be ingested, and can cause severe damage to internal organs if swallowed. If you or someone you know has ingested detergent, seek medical help immediately.

What are two substances considered unsafe or unpleasant in drinking water?

Urine and feces because bacteria populations are found in those substances. meaning if too much bacteria is found in the water it will be reductionof amount of dissolved oxygen in the water.


What is total bacteria count limit in water by USPH standards?

The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) sets the total bacteria count limit for purified water in pharmaceutical production at 100 colony-forming units per milliliter. This standard is intended to ensure the microbial quality and safety of water used in drug manufacturing processes.

How prepare of cyanide with which reagents?

You mean you can use any reagent ...

Ok ... use ... CH3CONH2 + P2O5 ---> CH3CN

P2O5 is dehydrating

or

benzene + HNO3 + H2SO4 ---> C6H5-NO2 + Sn(HCl) ---> C6H5-NH2 + HNO2 (0 - 5degree celsius) ---> C6H5-N2Cl + CuCN ---> C6H5-CN

How much does a person weight after drinking a gallon of water?

A gallon of water weighs about 8.34 pounds. However, the weight a person gains after drinking a gallon of water will not be permanent because the body will process and excrete the excess fluid over time.

Can you boil salt and water and get the salt back?

Because the boiling point for salt ( NaCl ) is 1413 degrees Celsius, and the boiling point for water ( h2o) is 100 degrees Celsius, it is possible to boil salt water, and have the water evaporate, and the salt remain .

Would life exist without water?

Life on Earth would not exist as we know it without water. Water is essential for most biochemical reactions in living organisms, serves as a solvent for nutrients and waste, helps regulate temperature, and provides a medium for various biological processes to occur. Therefore, it is unlikely that life could develop or be sustained without water.

Is seawater hypertonic isotonic or hypotonic to drinking water?

Seawater is hypertonic to drinking water. This means that seawater has a higher concentration of solutes (such as salts) compared to drinking water. Drinking seawater can lead to dehydration as the body would need to excrete more water to get rid of the excess salts.

If pathogens are present in drinking water what will happen?

If pathogens are present in drinking water, they can cause waterborne diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, and typhoid fever when consumed. It is important to treat contaminated water to eliminate these pathogens before consumption to prevent illness.

Can activated Carbon remove Pharmaceuticals from drinking water?

Activated Carbon removed organic material in water dealing primarily with aesthetics. That means they use it to remove color and smell so that people are not afraid to drink it. To remove pharmaceuticals, you will need a 1 micron membrane filter which can be found in many reverse osmosis systems.

Checking the bacterial contamination in drinking water by testing sulphide ion?

hi there you you can add a water purefying machine to your taps and filter out bacterial contaminates,cholrine,fluride ect . this will make your water very clean and contaminat free for human consumption if you want to find out more info here trevordye.org

Thanks trevor dye

Which drinking water better RO or distilled?

RO is better than distilled water because RO water just has germs and bacteria removed from it but not the essential salts for the body.

But the distilled water is salt less water and it is very dangerous to drink because it is

so pure that it could burn the mucous in your mouth and damage other soft parts.

Can blood be purified into potable water?

No, blood cannot be purified into potable water. Blood contains various components such as cells, proteins, and waste products that are not suitable for drinking. It would require advanced filtration and purification processes to make blood safe for consumption, which is not practical.
