What disease from Africa killed many europeans before quinine?

That would be Malaria, in French it literally means 'bad air'. At the time, gases or bad elements in the air were thought to be the source of the incurable disease. Now we know that mosquitoes carry it. I know malaria from an unfortunately intimate point of view: I caught a strain of it in Mozambique in 1988, and nearly died. The disease is a major killer in the sub-Saharan countries of Africa. It's difficult to develop a vaccine because there are several known strains of malaria, among other reasons. Good question!

How many moles of nitrogen are in 4.0 times 10 with the power of 2 of quinine?

The clarity of this question is not clear. I will assume grams and possibly moles as that number does not look like a number of atoms. Grams first, then moles.

4.0 X 102 grams quinine (1 moleC20H2N2O2/302.236 grams)(2 moles N/1 mole C20H2N2O2)

= 2.6 moles nitrogen

===============

Pretty much the same procedure if you meant moles just no dividing out a mass.

I have stopped drinking alcohol for over 20 months (wasn't a regular drinker previously) but I have to go into pubs for meals, etc.. So for the last 20 months I drink tonic water with my pub meal.

I believe so. When my mother first became pregnant with me in the early 1950's, she went to the drugstore and the druggist gave her quinine to help her start her period.

How much quinine in hyland's homeopathic leg cramps with quinine?

Realistically? None. Homeopathic medications are heavily diluted. The quinine dilution is a 3x (or approximately 1.5 c) dilution. So for the sake of easy math lets say it's an even 2c dilution. That means the quinine is diluted 1 part quinine in 100 parts dilution (like water) and part of that dilution is diluted in another 1:100 parts of dilution (more water). so...what's that work out to? One molecule of quinine per 10,000 molecules of water?

How does quinine work against malaria?

Quinine works against malaria by interfering with the parasite's ability to digest hemoglobin in red blood cells. It inhibits the conversion of hemoglobin into hemozoin, leading to toxic levels of heme that accumulate and ultimately kill the Plasmodium parasites. Additionally, quinine affects the parasite's metabolic processes and disrupts its ability to replicate. This combination of actions makes quinine effective as an antimalarial treatment.
