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.

Identify each of these substances as acidic, basic, or neutral. pure water, pH = 7.0 lake water, pH = 6.5 baking soda solution,

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

pure water, pH = 7.0 (Neutral)

lake water, pH = 6.5 (Acidic)

baking soda solution, pH = 9 (Alkaline)

soapy water, pH = 12 (Alkaline)

Explanation:

The degree of acidicity or alkalinity of a solution can be determined on a pH meter. A pH below 7 is acidic; a pH of 7 is neutral; a pH value of above 7 is alkaline.

Which of the following are not single-displacement reactions?

Goshia [24]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{B and C }}$

Explanation:

In a single-displacement reaction, one element exchanges partners with another element in a compound.

$\textbf{A. } \rm Fe + 2HCl \longrightarrow FeCl_2 + H_2$

This is a single-displacement reaction, because the element Fe exchanges partners with H in HCl.

$\textbf{B. } \rm KOH + HNO_3 \longrightarrow H_2O + KNO_3$

This is not a single-displacement reaction, because it is a reaction between two compounds.

This is a double displacement reaction in which the K⁺ and H⁺ cations change partners with the anions.

$\textbf{C. } \rm Na_2S + 2HCl \longrightarrow 2NaCl + H_2S$

This is not a single-displacement reaction. It is another double displacement reaction, in which the Na⁺ and H⁺ cations change partners with the anions.

$\textbf{D. } \rm Ca + 2HOH \longrightarrow Ca(OH)_2 + H_2$

This is a single-displacement reaction, because the element Ca exchanges partners with H in H₂O.

$\boxed{\textbf{B and C }}$ are not single-displacement reactions.

A sample of sodium-24 with an activity of 14 mCi is used to study the rate of blood flow in the circulatory system. If sodium-24

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

From;

0.693/t1/2 = 2.303/t log (Ao/A)

Where;

t1/2 = half life of the sodium-24

t = time taken

Ao = initial activity of sodium-24

A= activity of sodium-24 at time t

0.693/15 = 2.303/15 log (14/A)

0.0462 = 0.1535 log (14/A)

0.0462/0.1535 = log (14/A)

log (14/A) = 0.0462/0.1535

14/A = Antilog(0.3)

14/A= 1.995

A = 14/1.995

A = 7.0 mCi

0.693/15 = 2.303/30 log (14/A)

0.0462 =0.0768 log(14/A)

0.0462/0.0768 =log (14/A)

(14/A) =Antilog (0.6)

A = 14/Antilog (0.6)

A = 3.5 mCi

0.693/15 = 2.303/45 log (14/A)

0.0462= 0.0512 log (14/A)

log (14/A) = 0.0462/0.0512

log (14/A) = 0.9

(14/A) = Antilog (0.9)

A= 14/Antilog (0.9)

A = 14/7.9

A = 1.77 mCi

2.5 days = 2.5 * 24 hours = 60 hours

0.693/15 = 2.303/60 log (14/A)

0.0462 = 0.03838 log (14/A)

log (14/A) = 0.0462/0.03838

(14/A) = Antilog(1.2)

A= 14/Antilog(1.2)

A = 14/15.8

A = 0.886 mCi

Note that activity (A) decreases as time increases.

State the number of protons, electrons and neutron

skad [1K]

Answer:

You didn't show which element it is. The proton is the atomic number, the electron is the same number of protons, and the neutron is the atomic mass rounded to the nearest whole number minus the proton.
