Environmental Hazards are usually any chemicals that donot naturally occur to exist anywhere and are usually made in the fields of industry or experimental sciences
So if you happen for example to throw a bit of mercury in some river while being in a school trip then this is an environmental hazard created by humans
and 
.
Assuming complete decomposition of both samples,
First compound:
; 
of the first compound would contain
Oxygen and mercury atoms seemingly exist in the first compound at a 
ratio; thus the empirical formula for this compound would be where the subscript "1" is omitted.
Similarly, for the second compound
; 
of the first compound would contain
and therefore the empirical formula
.
Answer:
The same holds true for pH values above 7, each of which is ten times more alkaline (another way to say basic) than the next lower whole value. For example, pH 10 is ten times more alkaline than pH 9 and 100 times (10 times 10) more alkaline than pH 8.
