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 mass of sodium hydroxide will completely neutralize 2.5 mol of sulfuric acid?
VMariaS [17]

Given :

2.5 mole of Sulfuric acid ( H_2SO_4 ) .

To Find :

Mass of sodium hydroxide will completely neutralize 2.5 mol of sulfuric acid

Solution :

Let us assume volume of water be 1 L .

Now , we know , to neutralize 1 mole of sulfuric acid we need 2 moles of NaOH .

So , for 2.5 mole sulfuric acid required 5 mole of NaOH .

Moles of NaOH ,

n=M\times Volume \\\\n=5\times 1=5\ moles  

Molecular mass of NaOH , M.M = 58.44 g/mol .

Mass of 5 moles of NaOH :

m=5\times 58.44\ g\\\\m=292.2\ g

Hence , this is the required solution .

What percentage of the total incoming radiation to the Earth reaches the ground? 20 30 40 70
weeeeeb [17]

Answer: 22.5 percent of incoming solar radiation goes directly to the surface of the Earth and is absorbed.

Explanation: Transfer of radiation through a planet's atmosphere. A planet and its atmosphere, in our solar system, can radiate back to space only as much energy as it absorbs from incoming solar radiation.
