Answer:

The agencies being referred in Rachel Carson's <em>"Silent Spring"</em> are the state and federal agencies.

They are being reduced to the "so-called control agencies" because they don't really know much about the <em>effects of chemical insecticides</em> and how <em>potentially dangerous </em>they are to living things, yet they are the ones who allow its distribution to people.<u> They control the insects in the world</u> by allowing spraying operations, however they don't have any idea on how much damage they are causing to the world. Carson reduced this agencies <u>because they were spreading </u><u><em>"misinformation."</em></u>

Explanation:

"Silent Spring" was a book that stirred the public's attention. It talks about the bad effects of using chemical pesticides to the environment. Many critics opposed the book, yet it was able to move the Congress. This resulted to the operation of the Environmental Protection Agency in <em>1970.</em>

CH4(g) gas reacts with F2(g) to produce CH3F(g) and HF(g).
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

- 484 KJ/mol

Explanation:

The reaction equation is;

CH4(g) + F2 (g) ------> CH3F(g) + HF(g)

The enthalpy of the reaction can be calculated from bond energies using the formula;

ΔHreaction = Bond energy of reactants - bond energy of products

or

ΔHreaction = Bonds broken - bonds formed

[4(413) + 1(155) - 3(413) + 1(485) + 1(567)]

[(1652 + 155) - (1239 + 485 + 567)]

[1807 - 2291]

= - 484 KJ/mol
