Answer:

Two-third of the toxic metal, mercury comes from gold mining.

Explanation:

During gold mining small pieces of gold which are within  the soil are separated with the help of mercury. Both gold and mercury are mixed and they forms amalgam. Further gold can be extracted by vaporizing the mercury, thus releasing it into air and contributing to two-third of the air pollution by human activities.

Therefore (d) gold mining is the correct answer.

In this experiment you will create solutions with different ratios of ethanol and water. What is the mole fraction of ethanol wh
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The mole fraction of ethanol is 0.6. A 10 mL volumetric pipette must be used for to measure the 10 mL of ethanol. The vessel should be clean and purged.

Explanation:

For calculating mole fraction of ethanol, the amount of moles ethanol must be calculated. Using ethanol density (0.778 g/mL), 10 mL of ethanol equals to 7.89 g of ethanol and in turn 0.17 moles of ethanol. The same way for calculate the amount of water moles (ethanol density=0.997 g/mL). 2 mL of water correspond to 0.11. The total moles are: 0.17+0.11=0.28. Mole fraction alcohol is: 0.17/0.28=0.6

A water treatment plant applies chlorine for disinfection so that 10 mg/L chlorine is achieved immediately after mixing. The vol
Vlada [557]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of chlorine needed by the plant per day is 9.4625\times 10^8mg

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Volume o water treated per day = 25,000,000 gallons

Converting this volume from gallons to liters, we use the conversion factor:

1 gallon = 3.785 L

So, \frac{3.785L}{1\text{ gallon}}\times 25,000,000\text{ gallons}=9.4625\times 10^7L

Amount of chlorine applied for disinfection = 10 mg/L

Applying unitary method:

For 1 L of water, the amount of chlorine applied is 10 mg

So, for 9.4625\times 10^7L of water, the amount of chlorine applied will be \frac{10mg}{1L\times 9.4625\times 10^7L}=9.4625\times 10^8mg

Hence, the mass of chlorine needed by the plant per day is 9.4625\times 10^8mg
