A resting adult requires about 240 ml of pure oxygen/mind and breathes about 12 times every minute. if inhaled air contains 20 p
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

12 times breathe give 240 ml of pure O_{2}. Each breathe gives 20 ml of O_{2}.

Let us consider, volume of air per breathe= x ml.

Pure O_{2} from inhaled air= \frac{20}{100}x ml and Pure O_{2} from exhaled air= \frac{16}{100}x ml.

Pure O_{2} from inhaled and exhaled air= 20 ml

So, \frac{20}{100}x + \frac{16}{100}x = 20

Therefore, x = 55.5 ml

So, volume of air per breath= 55.5 ml.

Paraphin [41]

Fresh water pollutants  are substances which pollute fresh water and  industrial waste, is most harmful fresh water pollutant to man and aquatic organisms.

<h3>What are pollutants?</h3>

Pollutants are substances which cause harm when they are present in the environment.

Pollutants include chemicals such as petroleum and material such as sewage.

The presence of pollutants in freshwater results in water pollution and make the water unfit for drinking purposes and also harms aquatic life in freshwaters.

Some freshwater pollutants include:

  • Farming wastes
  • Household pollutants
  • Industrial wastes
  • Erosion
  • Oil and Gasoline
  • heat

Of these pollutants, the most dangerous fresh water pollutant is industrial wastes as they kill aquatic organisms most due to the presence of harmful chemicals in them.

Therefore, fresh water pollutants such as industrial waste is most harmful to man and aquatic organisms.

In 1939, the use of DDT (a powerful synthetic chemical) as an insecticide was discovered. The United States adopted its widespre
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Main advantages of DDT are the insecticide property and the knoledge about its chemical synthesis.

Explanation:

At that time in 1939 it was discovered that DDT have insecticide properties. It is a useful property because it allows inhibition of insects populations in large areas. Killing insects will reduce the diseases transmitted by them as  typhus and malaria. More over you prevent the destruction of the agricultural crops by the harmful insects.

However the synthesis of the molecule was known way back in 1874. From that time it was plenty of time in which chemistry knowledge evolved so the synthesis at kilograms scale was implemented. High quantities of DDT molecule become available for the market so that in 1945 was available as agricultural insecticide.

It was discovered that DDT have bad effects for human health and also over time some insects developed resistance and their were not affected anymore by the molecule.

You may find the chemical structure of DDT in the attached figure.
