The common component of air pollution is particulate matter (PM). This is a complex mixture of extremely small particles and liquid droplets.
The major components of PM are sulphates, nitrates, ammonia, sodium chloride, black carbon, dust particles and water. PM comes from dust , soot, smoke, industry and vehicle exhaust as well as complex chemical reactions with other pollutants.
Burning of fossil fuels produces sulphur dioxide . It is a colorless gas that pollutes the air and can cause health problems affecting the respiratory system.
Answer:
After 48 hours amount left = 6.25 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Half life of potassium = 12 hours
Total mass = 100 g
Mass left after 48 hours = ?
Solution:
Number of half lives passed:
Number of half lives = Time elapsed / half life
Number of half lives = 48 hours/ 12 hours
Number of half lives = 4
At time zero = 100 g
At first half life = 100 g/ 2 = 50 g
At 2nd half life = 50 g/2 = 25 g
At 3rd half life = 25 g/2 = 12.5g
At 4th half life = 12.5 g/2 = 6.25 g
The temperature pattern which is being shown by the isotherms is that: D. temperatures increase from the center of the country toward the Southwest.
<h3>What is an isotherm?</h3>
An isotherm refers to a line that is drawn on a map to join points that are having the same temperature, in order to show the distribution of temperature in a geographical area on Earth's surface.
Based on the weather map in the image attached below, we can infer and logically deduce that temperatures typically increase from the center of the country toward the Southwest.
