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.

Using E=hν where h is Planck's constant and v is the frequency of the photon. In the question above,the wavelenght is given so we can find the frequency of the photon using c=λν. c is a constant =3*10^8 so frequency is equal to
(3*10^8)/0.135*10^-9. Then use ur frequency in the eqn above using h 6.626*10^-34

For a ternary solution at constant T and P, the composition dependence of molar property M is given by: M = x1M1 + x2M2 + x3M3 +

AveGali [126]

Answer:

$M_{i} = M_{i} + C_{xjxk} (1-2x_{i})$ ...1

$M^{\alpha } = M_{i} + CX_{xjxk}$ ...2

Explanation:

The ternary constant is given by the following equation:

The symbol XiXi, where XX is an extensive property of a homogeneous mixture and the subscript ii identifies a constituent species of the mixture, denotes the partial molar quantity of species ii defined by

$M_{i} = [\frac{d(nM)}{dn_{i} }]_{P,t,n,j}$

This is the rate at which property X changes with the amount of species i added to the mixture as the temperature, the pressure, and the amounts of all other species are kept constant. A partial molar quantity is an intensive state function. Its value depends on the temperature, pressure, and composition of the mixture.

In a multi phase system (in this case, a ternary system), the components resolved give:

$M_{i} = M_{i} + C_{xjxk} (1-2x_{i})$

and $M^{\alpha } = M_{i} + CX_{xjxk}$
