Nails are made of iron because, iron is strong and sturdy; although nail rust when it undergoes oxidation when expose to water but it is not explosive. 
Barium and phosphorus are not suitable for nail making because of their properties.
Barium is an element which reacts with virtually all non metals, forming poisonous products which are dangerous to health and to the environment. It also reacts explosively with water.
Phosphorus is not found in its pure form in nature, it conducts electricity and it is combustible in nature.<span />

Serena is mixing a material into a beaker filled with a liquid. She notices that the material seems to disappear into the liquid
Lelu [443]

Answer:

The correct answer is - solubility

Explanation:

Solubility is the nature of the material that is a chemical property of that specific solute ability to dissolved in a solvent. The ability of solute or material in a solvent or liquid is measured by the term of the maximum amount of that material dissolved in the liquid at equilibrium.

Sugar and water is a great example of solubility. When sugar is missed in the water it dissolved in water and disappear in the water here sugar is solute and water is solvent.

Thus, the correct answer is - solubility.

George works in an air conditioner manufacturing company. Which pollutant is likely to be produced from air conditioning?
Alexus [3.1K]

The right option is A. hydrofluorocarbons

Hydrofluorocarbons are  pollutants that are likely to be produced from air conditioning.

Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are synthetic fluorinated strong greenhouse gases that are strongly accumulating in the atmosphere. Hydrofluorocarbons are mainly used as refrigerants. Hydrofluorocarbons are used to replace ozone depleting substances such as chlorofluorocarbons and hydrochlorofluorocarbons which are being phased out in air conditioning, refrigeration, foam blowing agents, and solvents. Hydrofluorocarbons are responsible for about 20% of climate pollution by 2050
