Fugu, also known as puffer fish, is a sushi delicacy that can also be lethal. puffer fish contain a powerful toxin that can kill an adult a few hours after ingestion. sushi chefs who prepare fugu must be specially trained because any contamination of the toxin-free areas of the fish can be deadly. recently this toxin has been put to good use, as scientists have discovered that a purified form of it can treat severe pain in cancer patients. this recent scientific discovery would fall under which area of chemistry? applied biochemistry pure organic chemistry pure physical chemistry applied inorganic chemistry

Tin has ten stable isotopes. the heaviest, 124sn, makes up 5.80% of naturally occuring tin atoms. how many atoms of 124sn are present in 82.0 g of naturally occurring tin? what is the total mass of the 124sn atoms in this sample?
