In what way wax be harmful?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Sholpan [36]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The different categories of organic compounds, which are malleable, lipophilic, and solids at the suitable temperatures are known as waxes. They comprise lipids, and higher alkanes, generally with the melting points of above 40 degree Celsius. The waxes are not soluble in water, however, are soluble in nonpolar and organic solvents.  

Wax can be harmful if it is not used appropriately on the basis of the instructions given by the manufacturer. A wax, which is meant for the external purpose should be not consumed by anyhow, as it may result in lead poisoning and even other kinds of stomach-associated illness stimulated by the chemicals used in in the generation of wax.

GEORGEOCTOBER 18, 2012Floor Wax is Harmful to the Environment

Floor wax is applied on floor surfaces to make it scuff-resistant, water-resistant, slip resistant and glossy. It provides a thin, protective and hard surface layer when applied to flooring. Conventional floor wax has five main ingredients and each one of them has detrimental effects on the environment, not to mention the chemical waste created by the continuous upkeep required. The cumulative effects of these ingredients on the environmental render their harmful actions more potent and difficult to reverse.

What is one example of an everyday molecule?
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Hydrogen

Explanation:

Just to provide some background, an element is a pure substance consisting of only one type of atom. An atom is the smallest constituent of matter. All elements are comprised of a single type of atom (e.g., gold is composed of gold atoms, helium of helium atoms, phosphorus phosphorus, and so on).

A molecule is a group of two or more atoms. They can be the same atom (homonuclear), such as or different atoms (heteronuclear).

Some examples of homonuclear molecules include:

Hydrogen  (H2)  

Nitrogen  (N2)  

Phosphorus  (P4)  

Some examples of heteronuclear molecules include:

Carbon dioxide  (CO2)  

Sulfuric acid  (H2SO4)  

Methane  (CH4)

Consider the following mechanism for the reaction between nitric oxide and ozone:
swat32

Answer:

A .  2 O₃(g) + 2 NO   ⇒  2 O₂ (g) + 2 NO₂(g)

B . Yes

C.   O and NO₃

Explanation:

A. The overall reaction is obtained by adding the individual steps in the reaction mechanism where we will get the reactants and product and the intermediates will cancel.

Thus, adding 1+ 2 +3 we get

2 O₃(g) + 2 NO   ⇒  2 O₂ (g) + 2 NO₂(g)

B. The reaction intermediates are those that are produced from the initial and/or subsequent steps and are consumed later on in the reaction mechanism, but  are neither reactants nor products, they just participate.

From this definition it follows that O(g) and NO₃ are reaction intermediates.

C. O and NO₃

Without doing any calculations, match the following thermodynamic properties with their appropriate numerical sign for the follo
siniylev [52]

Answer:

∆H > 0

∆Srxn <0

∆G >0

∆Suniverse <0

Explanation:

We are informed that the reaction is endothermic. An endothermic reaction is one in which energy is absorbed hence ∆H is positive at all temperatures.

Similarly, absorption of energy leads to a decrease in entropy of the reaction system. Hence the change in entropy of the reaction ∆Sreaction is negative at all temperatures.

The change in free energy for the reaction is positive at all temperatures since ∆S reaction is negative then from ∆G= ∆H - T∆S, we see that given the positive value of ∆H, ∆G must always return a positive value at all temperatures.

Since entropy of the surrounding= - ∆H/T, given that ∆H is positive, ∆S surrounding will be negative at all temperatures. This is so because an endothermic reaction causes the surrounding to cool down.
