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.

You have a 15.0 gram sample of gold at 20.0°C. How much heat does it take to raise the temperature to 100.0°C?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

=154.8 J

Explanation:

The rise in temperature is contributed by the change in temperature.

Change in enthalpy = MC∅,  where M is the mass of the substance, C is the specific heat capacity and ∅ is the change in temperature.

Change in temperature = 100.0°C-20.0°C=80°C

ΔH=MC∅

The specific heat capacity of gold= 0.129 J/g°C

ΔH= 15.0g×0.129J/g°C×80°C

=154.8 J

Enter the formula for the compound cobalt(II) phosphate. Express your answer as a chemical formula.
alexira [117]

Answer:

Co_3(PO_4)_2

Explanation:

Naming of the ionic compounds:-

  • The name of the cation is written first and the the name of the anion is written after the name of the cation separated by single space.
  • The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.
  • In case of transition metals, the oxidation state are written in roman numerals in bracket in front of positive ions.

Hence, given ionic compound:-

Cobalt(II) phosphate

So, Cobalt will have a positive charge of +2

Phosphate is PO_4^{3-}

So, the formula is :-

Co         PO_4^{3-}

2                    3

Co_3(PO_4)_2

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Enthalpy of a reaction = P - R  

Synthesis: ΔH = 25 kJ - (-30 kJ) = 55 kJ  

Single Replacement: ΔH = 30kJ - 65 kJ = -35 kJ  

Double Replacement: ΔH = 60 kJ - 10 kJ = 50 kJ
