point-source

Explanation:

The flow of insecticides from farm fields in an area is an example of a point-source of pollution.

Pollution is the introduction of harmful substances into the environment that makes life and living difficult.

The harmful substance is the pollutant.

There are different types of pollution like air, water, light, noise, land etc.
A point source pollution is a pollution that can be traced to a source.
In the analogy above, we understand that the insecticides flows form a source.
The source of the insecticide is the farm fields in the area.
Eventually the water nearby becomes contaminated with dissolved insecticides.
We can easily trace the source of pollution to a cause.
This is a point source pollution

Answer:

NON-POINT SOURCE

Explanation:

Non-point source pollution is pollution resulting from many diffuse sources, in direct contrast to point source pollution which results from a single source.

Consider the reaction below. At 500 K, the reaction is at equilibrium with the following concentrations. [PCI5]= 0.0095 M [PCI3]

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer: The equilibrium constant for the given reaction is 0.0421.

Explanation:

$PCl_5\rightleftharpoons PCl_3+Cl_2$

Concentration of $[PCl_5]$ = 0.0095 M

Concentration of $[PCl_3]$ = 0.020 M

Concentration of $[Cl_2]$ = 0.020 M

The expression of the equilibrium constant is given as:

$K_c=\frac{[PCl_3][Cl_2]}{[PCl_5]}=\frac{0.020 M\times 0.020 M}{0.0095 M}$

$K_c=0.0421$ (An equilibrium constant is an unit less constant)

The equilibrium constant for the given reaction is 0.0421.

Force = 2.32 N<br> Acceleration = 0.19 m/s2<br> Mass= ?

Mkey [24]

mass = 12.2 kg

Explanation:

To find the mass we use the following formula (Newton's Second Law of Motion):

force = mass × acceleration

mass = force / acceleration

mass = 2.32 N / 0.19 m/s²

mass = 12.2 kg

What causes metal to emit light?

Flauer [41]

Heating an atom excites its electrons and they jump to higher energy levels. When the electrons return to lower energy levels, they emit energy in the form of light. ... Every element has a different number of electrons and a different set of energy levels. Thus, each element emits its own set of colours.

What is the quantity of heat (in kJ) associated with cooling 185.5 g of water from 25.60°C to ice at -10.70°C?Heat Capacity of S

Cerrena [4.2K]

Taking into account the definition of calorimetry, sensible heat and latent heat, the amount of heat required is 37.88 kJ.

<h3>Calorimetry</h3>

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

<h3>Sensible heat</h3>

Sensible heat is defined as the amount of heat that a body absorbs or releases without any changes in its physical state (phase change).

<h3>Latent heat</h3>

Latent heat is defined as the energy required by a quantity of substance to change state.

When this change consists of changing from a solid to a liquid phase, it is called heat of fusion and when the change occurs from a liquid to a gaseous state, it is called heat of vaporization.

<u><em>25.60 °C to 0 °C</em></u>

First of all, you should know that the freezing point of water is 0°C. That is, at 0°C, water freezes and turns into ice.

So, you must lower the temperature from 25.60°C (in liquid state) to 0°C, in order to supply heat without changing state (sensible heat).

The amount of heat a body receives or transmits is determined by:

Q = c× m× ΔT

where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation.

In this case, you know:

c= Heat Capacity of Liquid= 4.184 $\frac{J}{gC}$
m= 185.5 g
ΔT= Tfinal - Tinitial= 0 °C - 25.60 °C= - 25.6 °C

Replacing:

Q1= 4.184 $\frac{J}{gC}$ × 185.5 g× (- 25.6 °C)

Solving:

<u><em>Change of state</em></u>

The heat Q that is necessary to provide for a mass m of a certain substance to change phase is equal to

Q = m×L

where L is called the latent heat of the substance and depends on the type of phase change.

In this case, you know:

n= 185.5 grams× $\frac{1mol}{18 grams}$ = 10.30 moles, where 18 $\frac{g}{mol}$ is the molar mass of water, that is, the amount of mass that a substance contains in one mole.
