Should existing structures build from CCA-treated wood be removed?

Arturiano [62]

There are pros and cons as to whether CCA-treated (pressure-treated) wood should be removed from existing structures, and both sides are subjective. Some of the arguments for leaving it include: *When burned, the wood can release dangerous, and sometimes, lethal fumes. *If buried in a landfill, the chemicals can soak into the ground and eventually contaminate ground water. *Removing it can expose people to arsenic *It is costly to remove an existing infrastructure that may or may not be harming people *Studies conducted within the past decade have determined structures containing CCA-treated wood pose no hazard *Studies also concluded that children who played on CCA-treated playgrounds were exposed to arsenic levels lower than those that naturally occur in drinking water Some of the arguments for removing it include: *The EPA determined that some children could face higher cancer risks from exposure to CCA-treated wood *If removed, it will need to be disposed of and, as discussed above, that creates another set of problems that could affect a community's health. A possible solution is to leave existing CCA-treated wood in place but seek viable, safe alternatives for future structures.

What is the pressure in atmospheres exerted by a 0.500 mole sample of nitrogen gas in a 10.0 L

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The pressure is 1, 22 atm.

Explanation:

We use deal gas formula. First, we convert the unit of temperature in Celsius into Kelvin. We use the constant R= 0,082 l atm /K mol.Then, we solve P (pressure).

0°C=273 K 25°C= 273 + 25= 298 K

PV=nRT -----> P= (nRT)/V

P= (0,5 mol x 0,082 l atm /K mol x 298 K)/ 10 L

P= 1, 2218 atm

A) Compute the repeat unit molecular weight of polystyrene. B) Compute the number-average molecular weight for a polystyrene for

Andrej [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

In Polystrene, the molecular formula for the repeat unit = $C_8H_8$ ;

and the atomic weights of Carbon C = 12.01 g/mol

For Hydrogen, it is 1.01 g/mol

Hence, the repeat unit molecular weight is:

m = 8 (12.01 g/mol)+8(1.01 g/mol)

m = 96.08 g/mol + 8.08 g/mol

m = 104.16 g/mol

The degree of polymerization = no-average molecular weight/repeat unit molecular weight.

Mathematically;

$DP = \dfrac{\overline M_n}{m}$

$\overline M_n= DP \times m$

$\overline M_n= 25000 \times 104.16 \ g/mol$

$\overline M_n= 2604000 \ g/mol$

For the 52nd electron must pair with one of the electrons in the 5p orbital.

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete, however, the element that has 52 electrons only is Tellurium (Te) and when the electronic configuration of elements with more than 52 electrons are written, the 52nd electron is indicated/paired the same way the 52nd electron of Te is indicated/paired. Hence, while writing the electronic configuration of Te, it is written as

[Kr] 4d¹⁰ 5s² 5p⁴ where [Kr] is the electronic configuration of krypton. Based on this, we can deduce that the 52nd electron will be in the first orbital of the P subshell (as attached in the picture). This is because when indicating the electrons in the subshell, one electron will be spread across each orbital and if any electron is still remaining, it will be added starting from to the first orbital of the subshell, however no two electrons in an orbital in a subshell can have the same spin and hence must face opposite direction based on pauli's exclusion principle (as seen in attached); thus for the 5p-orbital of elements with 52 or more electrons, when one electron each is represented in each box (3 boxes in total) in the 5p-orbital, the remaining electron is paired with the the first electron in the first box of the 5p-orbital
