Bioaccumulation refers to the accumulation of chemicals in a living organism. The compound or chemical accumulates at a rate faster than it is being metabolized or excreted by the organism. Chemicals bioaccumulate by binding to the proteins and fats in an organism while others bioaccumulate through the repeated consumption of contaminated organisms.
Pesticides containing chemicals that dissolve easily in fat but not in water tend to bioaccumulate. Pesticides that contain chemicals that can easily be metabolized by organisms do not bioaccumulate. In summary, the nature of the chemical used in pesticides and the capability of organisms to metabolize the said chemicals can dictate whether it will bioaccumulate or not.
C. The number of neutrons
Since Carbon 12 has 6 neutrons
And carbon 13 has 7 neutrons.
You know that elements have equal protons (atomic number) and electrons
Answer:
0.034 mol (4dp)
Explanation:
Use the formula n = m/M where n= number of moles, m=mass in grams and M=molar mass in g/mol.
Therefore to find how many moles, divide the mass in grams (2) by the molar mass of sodium chloride which is 22.99+35.45
Answer:-
Option 2
Explanation:-
In a multi step reaction, the overall reaction is as fast as the slowest step only.
So the rate of a multistep reaction is the same as the rate of its slowest step.
The gas phase reaction was found to be second order wrt NO2.
So the slowest step must have 2 NO2 since the dependence is second order on NO2.
It was also found to be zero order wrt CO.
So the slowest step must not contain any CO since it’s presence has no effect on the reaction (zero order).
Among all options, only number 2 meets the two criterion
Thus the steps are
NO2 + NO2 – NO3 + NO (Slow)
NO3 + CO – NO2 + CO2 (Fast)
