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.

postnew [5]
Amount of money that Cheryl has = $56
Cost of each notebook = $1.60
The maximum number of notebooks she can buy = n
Then

n = 56/1.6 

is the inequality that shows the maximum number of notebooks she can buy with her money

On solving the inequality, we get
n = 35 notebooks.

Use the periodic table to match each of the following element symbols to its name, atomic mass, or atomic number
uysha [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the periodic table, the element designated as Sn is tin. Sn is derieved from a latin name of the metal called Stanum

Selenium Se is a group 6 element. It belongs to the same group with oxygen, sulfur and tellurium. This substance has an atomic weight of 78.96g/mol

Oxygen is a group 6 element with an atomic mass of 16. The atomic mass is the number of protons in the nucleus of this atom.

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

hydrogen bonds between water molecules

Explanation:

The hydrogen bonds between water molecules conditions the bulk of its physical property most especially its relatively high boiling point. The hydrogen bond results from the attraction between the oxygen of a water molecule and the hydrogen of another water molecule. The more electronegative oxygen atom causes a distortion and the attraction leads to a strong intermolecular bond between atoms of the water molecules.

Hydrogen bond is a very strong bond and it is responsible for the physical properties of water.

Nat2105 [25]
<h2>Collision Theory </h2>

Explanation:

<h3>The given statement is related to the collision theory - </h3>

Collision theory was given by William Lewis in 1916.

This theory explains in a qualitative manner that in what way any chemical reaction occurs and the reason for the different reaction rates for different reactions.

<h3>According to the collision theory - </h3>
  • Molecules must collide in order to react
  • Sufficient amount of energy is needed for collisions (kinetic energy) so that the chemical bonds should break
  • This energy used is known as the activation energy
  • On the increase in the temperature, the kinetic energy of the molecule increases and the molecules move faster and collide with a proper orientation at an increased speed
  • This increases the rate of a collision that in turn increases the breaking of the bond
