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.

A solution contains one or more of the following ions: Ag+, Ca2+, and Co2+. Lithium bromide is added to the solution and no prec
Deffense [45]

Answer:

1. Ag+ precipitates. 2. Ca2+ precipitates. 3. Co2+ precipitates.

Explanation:

First AgBr is formed which is practically insoluble in water. CaBr2 and CoBr2 are soluble.

Then precipitates CaSO4. CoSO4 is soluble.

And then precipitates Co2(PO4)3 which is insoluble.

Define Triple point of water?​
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>TRIPLE POINT:</h2>

Triple point is that temperature, at which the substance is found in all three states i.e. solid, liquid and gas. Every substance has different triple point, because Triple point is just above the freezing point and each substance has different freezing and boiling point.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>WATER:</h2>

Water has a Melting point or Freezing Point (MP or FP) of 0^0 C or 273K and Boiling point (BP) 100^{0} C or 373 K. Since the triple point is just above the MP or FP thus Triple Point of water is 0.01^{0}C or 273.16K.

Hydrogen is prepared commercially by the reaction of methane and water vapor at elevated temperatures. CH₄(????) + H₂O(????) ⇌ 3
sammy [17]

Answer:

6.2846

Explanation:

Given that:-

Concentrations at equilibrium :-

[CH_4]=0.126\ M

[H_2O]= 0.242\ M

[CO]= 0.126\ M

[H_2]= 1.15\ M

The equilibrium reaction is:-

CH_4+H_2O\rightleftharpoons 3H_2+CO

The expression for equilibrium constant is:

K_{c}=\frac {\left [ H_2 \right ]^3\left [ CO \right ]}{\left [ CH_4 \right ]\left [ H_2O \right ]}

Applying the values as:-

K_c=\frac{1.15^3\times 0.126}{0.126\times 0.242}=6.2846

<u>The equilibrium constant for the reaction is:- 6.2846</u>
