Answer:
D
Explanation:
Human activities that contribute to desertification include the expansion and intensive use of agricultural lands, poor irrigation practices, deforestation, and overgrazing. ... Some meteorologists and soil scientists measure the impacts and length of a drought to determine if it is an example of desertification.
The molecular geometry is trigonal planar. I would choose E
Answer:
a. 0.182
b. 1.009
c. 1.819
Explanation:
Henderson-Hasselbach equation is:
pH = pKa + log [salt / acid]
Let's replace the formula by the given values.
a. 3 = 3.74 + log [salt / acid]
3 - 3.74 = log [salt / acid]
-0.74 = log [salt / acid]
10⁻⁰'⁷⁴ = 0.182
b. 3.744 = 3.74 + log [salt / acid]
3.744 - 3.74 = log [salt / acid]
0.004 = log [salt / acid]
10⁰'⁰⁰⁴ = 1.009
c. 4 = 3.74 + log [salt / acid]
4 - 3.74 = log [salt / acid]
0.26 = log [salt / acid]
10⁰'²⁶ = 1.819
1. The reactivity among the alkali metals increases as you go down the group due to the decrease in the effective nuclear charge from the increased shielding by the greater number of electrons. The greater the atomic number, the weaker the hold on the valence electron the nucleus has, and the more easily the element can lose the electron. Conversely, the lower the atomic number, the greater pull the nucleus has on the valence electron, and the less readily would the element be able to lose the electron (relatively speaking). Thus, in the first set comprising group I elements, sodium (Na) would be the least likely to lose its valence electron (and, for that matter, its core electrons).
2. The elements in this set are the group II alkaline earth metals, and they follow the same trend as the alkali metals. Of the elements here, beryllium (Be) would have the highest effective nuclear charge, and so it would be the least likely to lose its valence electrons. In fact, beryllium has a tendency not to lose (or gain) electrons, i.e., ionize, at all; it is unique among its congeners in that it tends to form covalent bonds.
3. While the alkali and alkaline earth metals would lose electrons to attain a noble gas configuration, the group VIIA halogens, as we have here, would need to gain a valence electron for an full octet. The trends in the group I and II elements are turned on their head for the halogens: The smaller the atomic number, the less shielding, and so the greater the pull by the nucleus to gain a valence electron. And as the atomic number increases (such as when you go down the group), the more shielding there is, the weaker the effective nuclear charge, and the lesser the tendency to gain a valence electron. Bromine (Br) has the largest atomic number among the halogens in this set, so an electron would feel the smallest pull from a bromine atom; bromine would thus be the least likely here to gain a valence electron.
4. The pattern for the elements in this set (the group VI chalcogens) generally follows that of the halogens. The greater the atomic number, the weaker the pull of the nucleus, and so the lesser the tendency to gain electrons. Tellurium (Te) has the highest atomic number among the elements in the set, and so it would be the least likely to gain electrons.
Answer:
350 g dye
0.705 mol
2.9 × 10⁴ L
Explanation:
The lethal dose 50 (LD50) for the dye is 5000 mg dye/ 1 kg body weight. The amount of dye that would be needed to reach the LD50 of a 70 kg person is:
70 kg body weight × (5000 mg dye/ 1 kg body weight) = 3.5 × 10⁵ mg dye = 350 g dye
The molar mass of the dye is 496.42 g/mol. The moles represented by 350 g are:
350 g × (1 mol / 496.42 g) = 0.705 mol
The concentration of Red #40 dye in a sports drink is around 12 mg/L. The volume of drink required to achieve this mass of the dye is:
3.5 × 10⁵ mg × (1 L / 12 mg) = 2.9 × 10⁴ L
