Explanation:
Scientific evidences abound of the occurrence of plastic pollution, from mega- to nano-sized plastics, in virtually all matrixes of the environment. Apart from the direct effects of plastics and microplastics pollution such as entanglement, inflammation of cells and gut blockage due to ingestion, plastics are also able to act as vectors of various chemical contaminants in the aquatic environment. This paper provides a review of the association of plastic additives with environmental microplastics, how the structure and composition of polymers influence sorption capacities and highlights some of the models that have been employed to interpret experimental data from recent sorption studies. The factors that influence the sorption of chemical contaminants such as the degree of crystallinity, surface weathering, and chemical properties of contaminants. and the implications of chemical sorption by plastics for the marine food web and human health are also discussed. It was however observed that most studies relied on pristine or artificially aged plastics rather than field plastic samples for studies on chemical sorption by plastics.
Answer is: the amu of a sodium atom is 23.
The unified atomic mass unit (amu) is a standard unit of atom mass.
One unified atomic mass unit is approximately the mass of one nucleon (proton or neutron).
The unified atomic mass unit is equal 1.66·10⁻²⁷ kg.
n(p⁺) = 11; number of protons in sodium atom.
n(n°) = 12; number of neutrons of sodium atom.
n(p⁺ + n°) = 11 + 12.
n(p⁺ + n°) = 23; number of nucleons in sodium atom.
The oceanic part of the earth is the liquid portion Of the planet
Well all I know that animals take in oxygen and take out carbon dioxide and plants take in carbon dioxide and take out oxygen
Because water vapor, uncontained, will diffuse out into the atmosphere and is not close enough to condense back into the liquid water, so no equilib. can be established.
