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.

viktelen [127]

Answer: The solution is a SATURATED solution.

Explanation:

Although most substances are soluble in water, some are more soluble than others,that is , their solubilities differ. SOLUBILITY is a means of comparing the extent to which different solutes can dissolve in a particular solvent at a definite temperature.

From the question above, when water was added to the sodium acetate in the flask, SOME of the chemical dissolved into the water, meaning that some remained undissolved. This is because a given volume of water can only dissolve a certain amount of chemical in it at room temperature. If more chemical is added to such a solution, the chemical will remain undissolved. Such a chemical solution is said to be a SATURATED SOLUTION.

A saturated solution of a solute at a particular temperature is on which contains as much solute as it can dissolve at that temperature in the presence of undissolved solute particles.

Unsaturated solution is a type of solution that dissolves all its solutes with no presence of undissolved solute.

Supersaturated solution is one which contains more of the solute than it can normally hold at that temperature. It is an unstable solution which crystallizes out when disturbed.

blondinia [14]

Answer:

It's explained below.

Explanation:

An everyday situation is when we raise an object.

Now, when we raise an object, energy is transferred to the Earth object system and thus the gravitational field energy of the system will increase.

Now, this energy is usually released when the object falls. The mechanism of this release is known as gravitational force.

In the same manner, two magnetic and electrically charged objects that are interacting at a distance will exert forces on each other and this can lead to transfer of energy between the interacting objects.
