Chemistry

Andreas93 [3]3 years ago
4 0

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.

Compare and contrast an earthquake and a tsunami. Include one way they are similar and two ways they are different.
Anon25 [30]
One way they are similar is because an earthquake causes a tsunami so they are connected. two ways they are not is because ones dealing with water and ones dealing with land, and an earthquake is very sudden while a tsunami, you know its coming and you have time to move.

How many chlorine atoms are on the products side of the reaction 2al 6hcl → 2alcl3 3h2? 2 3 6 9
GenaCL600 [577]

The number of chlorine atoms present on the product side of the reaction is 6

<h3>What is a chemical equation? </h3>

Chemical equations are representations of chemical reactions using symbols and formula of the reactants and products.

The balancing of chemical equations follows the law of conservation of matter which states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction but can be transferred from one form to another.

<h3>How to determine the number of atoms of Cl</h3>

2Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl₃ + 3H₂

Products => AlCl₃ and H₂

Number of Cl atoms = 2 × 3

Number of Cl atoms = 6 atoms

Which equation demonstrates that nuclear fusion forms elements that are heavier than helium
GrogVix [38]

Answer: The correct option is 2.

Explanation: There are two types of nuclear reactions:

1) Nuclear fission: These reactions are defined as the reactions in which a heavier unstable nuclei breaks into two or more smaller stable nuclei.

2) Nuclear fusion: These reactions are the ones where two smaller nuclei fuse together or combine together to form a larger nuclei.

In the question, we need to find the fusion reaction which forms elements heavier than helium.

Option 1: In this fusion reaction occurs but the nuclei is Helium itself.

Option 2: In this also fusion reaction occurs and the nuclei is heavier than Helium which is Neon.

_8^{16}\textrm{O}+_2^4\textrm{He}\rightarrow _{10}^{20}\textrm{Ne}

Option 3 and Option 4: These two reactions are nuclear fission reactions of Uranium-235 because one heavier element is breaking into more than 2 products.

Hence, the correct option is 2.
