How plastic polymer types of compositions, surface hydrophobicity, crystallinity, porosity, size, shapes, aging or degree of wea

Chemistry

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 do the valence of electrons tell you?
9966 [12]

Answer:

valence electrons are the electrons that are located in the outermost electron shell of an element. Knowing how to find the number of valence electrons in a particular atom is an important skill for chemists because this information determines the kinds of chemical bonds that it can form and, therefore, the element's reactivity

5. Balance the following reactions using either the oxidation number method or the half-reaction
stich3 [128]

The balanced reaction equations are;

a) 4 NaClO + H2S → 4 NaCl + H2SO4

b)6Ce^4+ + I^– + 6OH^– → 6 Ce^3+ + IO3^– + 3H2O

<h3>What is a balanced redox reaction?</h3>

A redox reaction is said to be balanced when the number of electrons gained is equal to the number of electrons lost.

Let us now write the balanced reaction equations one after the other. Thus;

a) 4 NaClO + H2S → 4 NaCl + H2SO4

b)6Ce^4+ + I^– + 6OH^– → 6 Ce^3+ + IO3^– + 3H2O

Relative to protons, electrons have:
saw5 [17]

Answer:

<u><em>(B.) a significantly lower mass that protons</em></u>

Explanation:

The mass (in g) of an electron is 9.11 ×10^{-28}g, which is significantly lower than the mass of protons and neutrons which are approximately the same. They are extremely small (equal to 0 amu), contributing nothing to the overall mass of the atom.

The nucleus has a mass of 1 amu and is positively charged.

a. pH=2.07

b. pH=3

c. pH=8

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

pH=-log [H⁺]

a) 0.1 M HF Ka = 7.2 x 10⁻⁴

HF= weak acid

\tt [H^+]=\sqrt{Ka.M}\\\\(H^+]=\sqrt{7.2.10^{-4}\times 0.1}\\\\(H^+]=8.5\times 10^{-3}\\\\pH=3-log~8.5=2.07

b) 1 x 10⁻³ M HNO₃

HNO₃ = strong acid

\tt pH=-log[1\times 10^{-3}]=3

c) 1 x 10⁻⁸ M HCl

\tt pH=-log[1\times 10^{-8}]=8

Which of the following has the most atoms per mole?
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

e) Na₃PO₄

Explanation:

a) BaSO₄

1 mole of BaSO ₄ = 6.022×10²³ molecules

1 mole of BaSO ₄ contain 1 atom of Ba one atom of S and four atoms of O.

Total number of atoms = 6 atoms

6.022×10²³ × 6 atoms = 36.132 ×10²³ atoms

b) NaNO₂

1 mole of NaNO₂= 6.022×10²³ molecules

1 mole of NaNO₂ contain 1 atom of Na one atom of N and two atoms of O.

Total number of atoms = 4 atoms

6.022×10²³ × 4 atoms = 24.088 ×10²³ atoms

c)KMnO₄

1 mole of KMnO₄ = 6.022×10²³ molecules

1 mole of KMnO₄ contain 1 atom of K one atom of Mn and four atoms of O.

Total number of atoms = 6 atoms

6.022×10²³ × 6 atoms = 36.132 ×10²³ atoms

d) KCl

1 mole of KCl = 6.022×10²³ molecules

1 mole of KCl contain 1 atom of K one atom of Cl.

Total number of atoms = 2 atoms

6.022×10²³ × 2 atoms = 12.044 ×10²³ atoms

e) Na₃PO₄

1 mole of Na₃PO₄ = 6.022×10²³ molecules

1 mole of Na₃PO₄ contain 3 atom of Na one atom of P and four atoms of O.

Total number of atoms = 8 atoms

6.022×10²³ × 8 atoms = 48.176×10²³ atoms
