Water pollution is defined as the mixing of water with unwanted substances and that makes water unsafe.

Water pollution includes runoff of excess fertilizers,

herbicides, and insecticides from agricultural lands

and residential areas; oil, grease, and toxic chemicals

from urban runoff and energy production; and

sediment from improperly managed construction sites,

crop and forest lands, and eroding stream banks.

Polluted waters have high BOD which affects aquatic biodiversity.

Hpotoxic substances such as lead, arsenic, and fluoride cause many problems to aquatic animals and humans. Water contaminated with Arsenic results in diseases such as arsenicosis. Fluoride had been reported to cause depression in DNA and RNA synthesis in cultured cells, significant reductions in DNA and RNA levels, and conditions including aging, cancer, and arteriosclerosis are associated with DNA damage and its disrepair. Lead causes problems related to the central nervous system. Children and pregnant women are most at risk. Routine applications of fertilizers and pesticides for agriculture and uncontrolled runoff in water bodies. Adds nitrogen and phosphorus to water. It adds nitrogen and phosphorus to water causing eutrophication and algal blooms.

Therefore, all these activities make our water bodies a death zone for the marine ecosystem as well as humans.

Answer:

A sample of a gas (5.0 mol) at 1.0 atm is expanded at constant temperature from 10 L to 15 L. The final pressure is 0.67 atm.

Step by Step Explanation?

Boyle's law states that in constant temperature the variation volume of gas is inversely proportional to the applied pressure.

The formula is,

P₁ x V₁ = P₂ × V₂

Where,

P₁ is initial pressure = 1 atm

P2 is final pressure = ? (Not Known)

V₁ is initial volume = 10 L

V₂ is final volume = 15 L

Now put the values in the formula,

\begin{gathered}\rm 1\times 10 = P_2\times 15\\\\\rm P_2 = \frac{10}{15\\} \\\\\rm P_2 = 0.67\end{gathered]

Therefore, the answer is 0.67 atm.
