PSYCHO15rus [73]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

DDT is known as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane. It is able to dissolve easily in fats and it remains for a long time into the atmosphere.

It causes harm to animal life, aquatic life and human life as it is very toxic in nature.

If DDT is consumed then it can lead to lymphoma, leukemia, and pancreatic cancer. Also, its manufacturing is inexpensive hence, it is used widely.

Therefore, we can conclude that DDT is a dangerous environmental pollutant because it remains in the environment for a long time.

What is the value of k, at 25 degrees Celsius
Dimas [21]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

298.15 K

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

W e are supposed to calculate the Value of K at 25°C

Assuming the value of K represent K, the question wants us to convert  degree Celsius to Kelvin.

  • To convert degrees Celsius to kelvin scale, we use the relationship;
  • Kelvin (K) = Degrees Celsius + 273.15 ; 273.5 is a constant
  • That is, to convert temperature from °C to Kelvin we add a constant of 273.15 to the °C given.

In this case;

Temperature is 273.15 °c

Thus, to Kelvin scale temperature will be;

= 25°C + 273.15

= 298.15 K

Therefore, the value of K, at 25°C is 298.15 K
