Oil spills are a very serious form of pollution. They severely affect marine biodiversity and coastal ecosystems. The table show

s methods that can be used to control oil spills.
A scientist wants to design a solution to control an oil spill. This solution should decrease the impact of the oil spill on the local biodiversity of the ecosystem. The solution should also be quick and effective but have minimal negative effects on the environment. Which of the following solutions would be best for the scientist to choose?

A. allowing natural processes to occur without any human intervention
B. using mechanical methods to collect the oil in one part of the ecosystem
C. using chemical methods to break the oil into smaller droplets
D. using bioremediation to speed up existing, natural oil degradation

3) List two other names for P-waves and for S-waves.
Dimas [21]
3. Other names for S- waves are secondary waves, shear waves, and sometimes elastic S-waves. Other names for P-waves are primary waves and compressional waves.
4. You need 3 stations, because scientists find the difference between the arrival times of the primary and the secondary waves at each of the 3 stations, then the time difference is used to determine the distance of the epicentre from each station. The greater the difference in time, the further away the epicentre is. A circle is drawn around each station, with a radius corresponding to the epicentre’s distance from that station. The point where the three circles meet is the epicentre. If you only had two stations, you could only predict the epicentre, as the point where all three circles meet wouldn’t be complete, you’d have to try and estimate where the third one would intercept. This would greaten the chance of error and isn’t as accurate.

Hope this helps!

acetic acid or vinegar boils sooner than water. if you had a mixture of acetic acid and water, you could seperate it by?
melomori [17]
Since acetic acid or vinegar boils sooner than water and vinegar and water are highly miscible, we cant separate the two by filtration but one way is to use their volatilities. We can boil the solution at 100oC and thats the time, water remains in the container.

1.) Examine the scenario.
Phantasy [73]

1) The answer is: Energy must have been absorbed from the surrounding environment.

There are two types of reaction:  

1) Endothermic reaction (ΔH > 0, chemical reaction that absorbs more energy than it releases).  In endothermic reactions heat is reactant.

Because products have higher energy, this example is endothermic reaction.

2) Exothermic reaction (chemical reaction that releases more energy than it absorbs).

2) The answer is: A reversible reaction contains a forward reaction, which occurs when reactants form products, and a reverse reaction, which occurs when products form reactants.

For example, balanced reversible chemical reaction: N₂ + 3H₂ ⇄ 2NH₃.

Nitrogen and hydrogen are reactants and ammonia is product of reaction. Reaction goes in both direction. Ammonia is synthesized from nitrogen and hydrogen and ammonia decomposes on nitrogen and hydrogen.

The amount of substance of reactants and products of reaction do not change when chemical reaction is in chemical equilibrium.  

In a chemical reaction, chemical equilibrium is the state in which both reactants and products are present in concentrations which not change with time. Speed of direct and irreversible chemical reaction are equal

3) The answer is: The reaction rate of the forward reaction would increase in order to decrease the number of particles.

According to Le Chatelier's Principle the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change.

The equilibrium shift to the right, so more product (ammonia) will be produced.

There are less molecules of ammonia than molecules of hydrogen and nitrogen. For every two molecules of ammonia, there are four molecules of hydrogen and nitrogen.

4) The answer is: The increase in energy will cause the reactants' particles to move faster, which will increase their temperature and lead to a faster reaction rate.

The reaction rate is the speed at which reactants are converted into products.

The collision theory states that a certain fraction of the collisions (successful collisions) cause significant chemical change.  

The successful collisions must have enough energy (activation energy).

Chemical bonds are broken and new bonds are formed.

Particles are in constant, random motion and possess kinetic energy, molecules faster and have more collisions.  

5) The answer is: When a reaction is at chemical equilibrium, a change in the system will cause the system to shift in the direction that will balance the change and help the reaction regain chemical equilibrium.

For example, chemical reaction: heat + NH₄⁺ + OH⁻ ⇄ NH₃ + H₂O.

According to Le Chatelier's Principle, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change, because heat is increased, system consume that heat, so equilibrium is shifted to right, by decreasing concentration of reactants and increasing concentration of product.
