Because medications contains chemicals, it would dissolve into the water and not only would it pollute the water, it could flow out into areas where people are exposed to these waters.

Why does silicone dioxide have a high melting point ?
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Where SiO2 has strong covalent bonds between molecules, SO3 only has weak van der waals intermolecular forces holding its molecules together. Since covalent bonds require more energy to overcome than van der waals, SiO2 requires a higher temperature than SO3 to melt, thus SiO2 has a higher melting point.

Which of the following possess the greatest concentration of hydroxide ions?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer : The correct option is (d) a solution of 0.10 M NaOH

Explanation :

<u>(a) a solution of pH 3.0</u>

First we have to calculate the pOH.

pH+pOH=14\\\\pOH=14-pH\\\\pOH=14-3.0=11

Now we have to calculate the OH^- concentration.

pOH=-\log [OH^-]

11=-\log [OH^-]

[OH^-]=1.0\times 10^{-11}M

Thus, the OH^- concentration is, 1.0\times 10^{-11}M

<u>(b) a solution of 0.10 M NH_3</u>

As we know that 1 mole of NH_3 is a weak base. So, in a solution it will not dissociates completely.

So, the OH^- concentration will be less than 0.10 M

<u>(c) a solution with a pOH of 12.</u>

We have to calculate the OH^- concentration.

pOH=-\log [OH^-]

12=-\log [OH^-]

[OH^-]=1.0\times 10^{-12}M

Thus, the OH^- concentration is, 1.0\times 10^{-12}M

<u>(d) a solution of 0.10 M NaOH</u>

As we know that NaOH is a strong base. So, it dissociates to give Na^+ ion and OH^- ion.

So, 0.10 M of NaOH in a solution dissociates to give 0.10 M of Na^+ ion and 0.10 M of OH^- ion.

Thus, the OH^- concentration is, 0.10 M

<u>(e) a 1\times 10^{-4}M solution of HNO_2</u>

As we know that 1 mole of HNO_2 in a solution dissociates to give 1 mole of H^+ ion and 1 mole of NO_2^- ion.

So, 1\times 10^{-4}M of HNO_2 in a solution dissociates to give 1\times 10^{-4}M of H^+ ion and 1\times 10^{-4}M of NO_2^- ion.

The concentration of H^+ ion is 1\times 10^{-4}M

First we have to calculate the pH.

pH=-\log [H^+]

pH=-\log (1.0\times 10^{-4})

pH=4

Now we have to calculate the pOH.

pH+pOH=14\\\\pOH=14-pH\\\\pOH=14-4=10

Now we have to calculate the OH^- concentration.

pOH=-\log [OH^-]

10=-\log [OH^-]

[OH^-]=1.0\times 10^{-10}M

Thus, the OH^- concentration is, 1.0\times 10^{-10}M

From this we conclude that, a solution of 0.10 M NaOH possess the greatest concentration of hydroxide ions.

Hence, the correct option is (d)

3. In elastic deformation, the deformed body returns to its original shape and size after the stresses are gone. In ductile deformation, there is a permanent change in the shape and size but no fracturing occurs. In brittle deformation, the body fractures after the strength is above the limit. 

4. Normal faults are faults where the hanging wall moves in a downward force based on the footwall; they are formed from tensional stresses and the stretching of the crust. Reverse faults are the opposite and the hanging wall moves in an upward force based on the footwall; they are formed by compressional stresses and the contraction of the crust.  Thrust faults are low-angle reverse faults where the hanging wall moves in an upward force based on the footwall; they are formed in the same way as reverse faults. Last, Strike-slip faults are faults where the movement is parallel to the crust of the fault; they are caused by an immense shear stress. 


I hope this helped :D

A nuclear waste site. cesium-137 is a particularly dangerous by-product of nuclear reactors. it has a half-life of 30 years. it
hram777 [196]
The mass decay rate is of the form
m(t) = m_{0} e^{-kt}
where
m₀ = 3000 g,the initial mass
k = the decay constant
t = time, years.

Because the half-life is 30 years, therefore
e^{-30k} =  \frac{1}{2} \\\ -30k = ln(0.5) \\ k =  \frac{ln(0.5)}{-30} =0.0231

After 60 years, the mass remaining is
m = 3000 e^{-0.0231*60} = 750 \, g

Answer: 750 g
