Though many MNCs espouse and follow rigid codes of social responsibility in their home countries they are often not as diligent with respect to ‘host’ or overseas countries. In 1984 the Bhopal disaster in Madhya Pradesh, India killed 3,787 and impacted a further 558,125 people. The corporation in question was Union Carbide, a majority USA owned company. Indian courts convicted the Chairman and other senior executives of “…causing death by negligence”. Why do you believe that Union Carbide had a less stringent policy in India with respect to negligence than they did in the USA?

6. A stock solution containing 25% w/v of chlorhexidine is used to prepare an antiseptic such that when the antiseptic is diluted 1 in 25, a 1 in 500 wash solution is obtained which is ready for use by the patient. What volume (ml) of the stock solution is required to prepare 5 litres of the antiseptic to fulfil a bulk manufacturing order?
It is desired to determine the molecular weight of an organic compound known to be volatile. For this, a glass balloon with a full volume of 152 mL is weighed and the weighing result is recorded as 215 g. Then, the organic compound that is desired to have some molecular weight in liquid form is added into the balloon and evaporated in a water bath until dryness. After the steam temperature is measured as 90 °C, the balloon is left to cool and the organic compound in the balloon condenses again. The balloon is then weighed again and recorded as 215,367g. Find the molecular weight of this organic compound since the pressure of the environment where the experiment is performed is 700 mmHg.
The human microbiome is one of the major frontiers of current scientific investigation. Increasing the diversity within your "gut" can be achieved by consuming probiotics from fermented foods and beverages such as sauerkraut and kefir. Kombucha is a tea co-culture of bacteria and yeast (called a SCOBY) and ethanol is one of the products of this fermentation. Lindsey regularly drank kombucha for its perceived health benefits but was concerned about her blood alcohol level. When drinking kombucha, Lindsey's maximum blood alcohol concentration (BAC) reached 0.9 mg/100mL of blood. Given that the initial half-life for ethanol in the body is 40 minutes, what will be Lindsey's BAC after one hour (60 minutes)?
The formula for 1000 g of polyethylene glycol ointment calls for 600 g polyethylene glycol 400. At $ 19.15 per pint, what is the cost of the polyethylene glycol 400, specific gravity 1.140 , needed to prepare 4000 g of ointment?

Regarding sewage quality parameters with regard to physical and chemical characteristics, mark V for True or F for False: ( ) Turbidity is caused by the abundance of suspended solids in the water, the fresher and more concentrated the sewage, the greater its turbidity. ( ) Phenols present in sewage are inorganic compounds derived from domestic effluents, and despite being organic matter, they do not cause any change in water quality. ( ) Sewage, both fresh and old, derived from both domestic and industrial activities, is always gray or black in color. ( ) Household effluents have a BOD of around 300 mg/L, which means that 1 liter of sewage consumes about 300 milligrams of oxygen in 7 days. ( ) Phosphorus is a component that can be present in sewage in both organic and inorganic form. In large quantities, the compound causes the exaggerated growth of algae in the medium, which can cause the death of local aquatic life, this phenomenon is called eutrophication.
synthetic ion exchange resins. These resins are organic polymeric networks that contain functional groups that are permanently attached to the resin. One such functional group is sulfonic acid, -SO3H. When placed in water, the resin (being a large organic molecule) will not dissolve. However, the ionic functional groups become hydrated and the resin will swell as it takes up waters of hydration. The resin may then be thought of as a solid solution mixture with the functional groups being "dissolved" but the polymer remaining as a solid. The hydronium ion (H3O+) associated with acidic functional groups like sulfonic acid will dissociate just as it would if the acid were free of the resin. If other cations such as Cu2+ or Na+ are added to the resin, an ion-exchange reaction can occur: . Note that one H+ is released for each positive charge bound to the resin. Since the resin exchanges a hydrogen ion for a sodium ion in this reaction, sulfonic acid resins are called cation-exchange…
A core sample is saturated with an oil (?o = 35oAPI), gas and water. The initial weight of the sample is 224.14 g. After the gas is displaced by water (?w = 1 g/cm3 ), the weight is increased to 225.90 g. The sample is the placed in a Soxhlet distillation apparatus, and 4.4 cm3 water is extracted. After drying the core sample, the weight is now 209.75 g. The sample bulk volume, 95 cm3 is measured in a mercury pycnometer. Find the porosity, water saturation, oil saturation, gas saturation and lithology of the core sample.
A sample containing chlorophenol, C6H4ClOH, was analysed by gravimetric analysis. A 0.783-g of this sample goes through a chemical process allowing the chlorine in the chlorophenol to precipitate as silver chloride, weighing 0.271 g. Calculate the % (wt/wt) of the chlorophenol in the sample, assuming that chlorophenol is the only source of chlorine in the sample. Provide your answer to two decimal places and without units. Avoid using scientific notation.
