Answer:

1) Adverse effect on aquatic life also increase in biological oxygen demand.

2) Biomagnification of pollutants

Explanation:

Water pollution is caused by unwanted addition of waste, animal debris, industrial effluents etc in a water body.

Water pollution may cause many direct and indirect harmful effects on environment. To name a few:

a) Decrease in level of oxygen leading to death of aquatic organism like fish.

Increase in biological oxygen demand.

b) Biomagnification: a pollutant may enter food chain from water and some pollutant may enter food chain contaminating other members of food chain.

Calculate freeze 62.9 g of iron at 1535oC<br> Hf (J/g)=257

Inessa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

(257J/g)(62.9g)

eliminate the variables

u get 16165.3

go to 3 significant digits

u get 16200

and since it is freezing we are taking out energy so it would be

21.7 mL of gas at 98.8 kPa is allowed to expand at constant

IRISSAK [1]

Answer: 40.68 kPa

Explanation:

Given that,

Original volume of gas V1 = 21.7 mL

Original pressure of gas P1 = 98.8 kPa

New volume of gas V2 = 52.7 mL

New pressure of gas P2 = ?

Since pressure and volume are given while temperature is constant, apply the formula for Boyle's law

P1V1 = P2V2

98.8 kPa x 21.7 mL = P2 x 52.7L

2143.96 kPa L = 52.7 L x P2

P2 = 2143.96 kPa L / 52.7 L

P2 = 40.68 kPa

Thus, the new pressure of the gas is 40.68 kPa.

Analysis of a compound of sulfur, oxygen and fluorine showed that it is 31.42% S and 31.35% O, with F accounting for the remaind

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The molecular formula is SO2F2

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Suppose the mass of compound = 100 grams

The compound contains:

31.42 % S = 31.42 grams S

31.35 % O = 31.35 grams O

100 - 31.42 - 31.35 = 37.23 F

Molar mass of S = 32.065 g/mol

Molar mass F = 19.00 g/mol

Molar mass O = 16.00 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles S = 31.42 grams / 32.065 g/mol

Moles S = 0.9799 moles

Moles 0 = 31.35 grams / 16.00 g/mol

Moles 0 = 1.959 moles

Moles F = 37.23 grams / 19.00 g/mol

Moles F = 1.959 moles

Step 3: Calculate mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

S: 0.9799 / 0.9799 = 1

F: 1.959/ 0.9799 = 2

O : 1.959 / 0.9799 = 2

The empirical formula is SO2F2

This formula has a molecular mass of 102.06 g/mol

This means the empirical formula is also the molecular formula : SO2F2

What is the acceleration of a ball traveling horizontally with an initial velocity of 20 meters/second and, 2.0 seconds later, a

Pepsi [2]

Answer: <em>Acceleration of the ball in the given system is 5 meter per Second Square</em>

<em>The laws of motion are used to determine various aspects of an object in motion</em>.

Explanation:

Applying the first law of motion to calculate acceleration; if formula used in first law is given as $v=u+at$

Here we have a final velocity as 40 meter per second and initial velocity as 20 meter per second and time span is given as 2 second applying the given values in the given equation and finding the value of a

$30=20+a \times 2 = a=5 m/s^2$

which of the following testable questions will provide evidence that elements in the same group have similar properties?

Usimov [2.4K]

The testable question which will provide evidence that elements in the same group have similar properties is valency

<h3>What is the valency?</h3>

In essence, how many electrons are present in their outermost shell.

Valency and Groups in the periodic table, elements are arranged in order of their atomic numbers and hence, the periodic table is a systematic arrangement of elements in an array of vertical columns called Groups and horizontal arrays called Periods.

Complete question here:

which of the following testable questions will provide evidence that elements in the same group have similar properties A. Valency B. Orbit C. Group D. Period

Since, the reactive capacities of elements is dependent on the number of electrons on its outermost shell, we can conclude on this note that, Elements in the same group have similar properties.
