[2] [7] The heat of formation is c. 24 kilocalories (100 kJ) per mol. [7] It is a semiconductor with a reported bandgap of c. 3.2eV, [9] however, a thin zinc nitride film prepared by electrolysis of molten salt mixture containing Li 3 N with a zinc electrode showed a band-gap of 1.01 eV. [10] Zinc nitride reacts violently with water to form ...

The LD 50 of nicotine is 50 mg/kg for rats and 3 mg/kg for mice. 0.5–1.0 mg/kg can be a lethal dosage for adult humans, and 0.1 mg/kg for children. [19] [20] However the widely used human LD 50 estimate of 0.5–1.0 mg/kg was questioned in a 2013 review, in light of several documented cases of humans surviving much higher doses; the 2013 review suggests that the lower limit causing fatal ...
