Explanation:
The hydrological cycle is the continuous cycling of water between land, open water surfaces and the sea. This cycle begins with evaporation, sunlight evaporates water from the surface of earth, next condensation happens, the water absorbed is now used to form clouds, after these clouds are filled to the maximum, precipitation happens, this can be in the form of rainfall and snow, this cycle finalizes when the precipitation of water runs off the land and back into water sources.
Sources of water pollution:
- <em>During precipitation: </em>Smog can be gathered in the atmosphere, during precipitation this pollution can turn into acid rain.
- <em>During runoff:</em> After acid rain hits the ground this polluted water can run into water sources (lakes, rivers, reservoirs).To some extent rivers are a self-renewing resource, if a small quantity of pollution discharges in it the river can return to a clean, unpolluted condition, unfortunately, if the pollution is too big the renewing won't be possible, another problem is even though rivers get cleaned the pollution moves to the seas. Lakes are even more vulnerable to pollution, the flushing effect in these water bodies is less evident than in rivers.

A critical mass is the smallest amount of fissile material needed for a sustained nuclear chain reaction.
Answer:
0.0164 g
Explanation:
Let's consider the reduction of silver (I) to silver that occurs in the cathode during the electroplating.
Ag⁺(aq) + 1 e⁻ → Ag(s)
We can establish the following relations.
- 1 A = 1 C/s
- The charge of 1 mole of electrons is 96,468 C (Faraday's constant)
- 1 mole of Ag(s) is deposited when 1 mole of electrons circulate.
- The molar mass of silver is 107.87 g/mol
The mass of silver deposited when a current of 0.770 A circulates during 19.0 seconds is:
Answer:
87.3 calories of heat is required.
Explanation:
Heat = mcΔT
m= mass, c = specific heat of silver, T = temperature
H= 57.8 g * 0.057 cal/g°C * ( 43.5 - 17 °C)
H = 57.8 * 0.057 * 26.5
H = 87.3069 cal.
The heat required to raise the temperature of 57.8 g of silver from 17 °C to 43.5 °C is 87.3 calories.
Answer:
Explanation:
In CF4 and NF3, the valence electron groups on the central C and N atoms have a tetrahedral arrangement. The shapes of the molecules are determined by the number of bonding and nonbonding of electrons: since CF4 has four bonded atom(s) and zero lone pair(s) of electrons, the shape is tetrahedral.
