Andreas93 [3]3 years ago

Explanation:

Scientific evidences abound of the occurrence of plastic pollution, from mega- to nano-sized plastics, in virtually all matrixes of the environment. Apart from the direct effects of plastics and microplastics pollution such as entanglement, inflammation of cells and gut blockage due to ingestion, plastics are also able to act as vectors of various chemical contaminants in the aquatic environment. This paper provides a review of the association of plastic additives with environmental microplastics, how the structure and composition of polymers influence sorption capacities and highlights some of the models that have been employed to interpret experimental data from recent sorption studies. The factors that influence the sorption of chemical contaminants such as the degree of crystallinity, surface weathering, and chemical properties of contaminants. and the implications of chemical sorption by plastics for the marine food web and human health are also discussed. It was however observed that most studies relied on pristine or artificially aged plastics rather than field plastic samples for studies on chemical sorption by plastics.

What is atomic mass, atomic number, isotopes and how are all these terms related to each other?
Airida [17]
Atomic mass deals with the number of protons and neutrons added together, atomic number deals with protons only, though isotopes can be explained like this, say you had a hydrogen atom it's one proton and one electron if you add a neutron to it, the hydrogen becomes Deuterium which is a isotope of hydrogen it's the same atom just a neutron added to it for a different atomic mass if only slightly changed

The. bond dissociation enthalpies of the H-H bond and the H-Cl bond are 435 kJ mol^-1 and 431 kJ mol^-1, respectively. The ΔHfO
Novay_Z [31]

The bond dissociation energy of the Cl - Cl bond is -958 kJ mol^-1.

<h3>What is the dissociation enthalpy?</h3>

Given that;

H-H bond energy =  435 kJ mol^-1

H-Cl bond energy = 431 kJ mol^-1

ΔHfO of HCL(g) = -92kJ mol^-1

Bond dissociation enthalpy of the Cl-Cl bond = x

-92 = 435  +  431 + x

x = -92 - (435  +  431)

x = -958 kJ mol^-1

Explanation:

The number of shells

n = 4

Calculating the spectral line:

= \frac{n(n-1)}{2}\\\\ = \frac{4(4-1)}{2} \\\\= \frac{4\times 3}{2}\\\\ = \frac{12}{2}\\\\ = 6
