The percentages of KBr and KI in the sample by mass is 80.68 and 19.32 % respectively.

<h3>What is Molar Mass ?</h3>

Molar mass is defined as the mass contained in 1 mole of sample.

It is given that

the sample has a total mass of 5.76 g contains KBr and KI

and contains 1.79 gm of K is present

what is the percentage of KBr and KI in the sample

Molecular weight of K = 39

Molecular weight of Br = 79.9

Molecular weight of I = 126.9

In KBr the mass percentage of K is 39/(39+79.9) = 32.89%

In KI the mass percentage of K is 39/(39+126.9) = 23.5%

Let the mass of KBr present in the sample is x

K will be 0.3289 x

and let the mass of KI present be y

K will be 0.235y

x +y =5.76

0.3289x+0.235y = 1.79

0.0939y = 0.1045

y = 1.1125 gm

x = 5.76-1.1125

x = 4.6475 gm

% of KBr = (4.6475/5.76 )*100 = 80.68 %

% of KI = (1.1125/5.76) *100 = 19.32%

__________ ammonium compounds are less effective against gram-negative bacteria and more effective against gram-positive bacteri

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Quartenary.

Explanation:

Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) are cationic salts of organically substituted ammonium compounds and have a broad range of activity against microorganisms, i.e more effective against Gram-positive bacterium at lower concentrations than Gram-negative bacteria.

It was also reported previously that monoalkyl QACs bind by ionic and hydrophobic interactions to microbial membrane surfaces, with the cationic head group facing outwards and the hydrophobic tails inserted into the lipid bilayer, causing the rearrangement of the membrane and the subsequent leakage of intracellular constituents.

Should existing structures build from CCA-treated wood be removed?

Arturiano [62]

<span>There are pros and cons as to whether CCA-treated (pressure-treated) wood should be removed from existing structures, and both sides are subjective. Some of the arguments for leaving it include: *When burned, the wood can release dangerous, and sometimes, lethal fumes. *If buried in a landfill, the chemicals can soak into the ground and eventually contaminate ground water. *Removing it can expose people to arsenic *It is costly to remove an existing infrastructure that may or may not be harming people *Studies conducted within the past decade have determined structures containing CCA-treated wood pose no hazard *Studies also concluded that children who played on CCA-treated playgrounds were exposed to arsenic levels lower than those that naturally occur in drinking water Some of the arguments for removing it include: *The EPA determined that some children could face higher cancer risks from exposure to CCA-treated wood *If removed, it will need to be disposed of and, as discussed above, that creates another set of problems that could affect a community's health. A possible solution is to leave existing CCA-treated wood in place but seek viable, safe alternatives for future structures.</span>
