Answer:The correct answer is option A

Explanation:

The spraying of insecticides not only kills the insects harming the crops but also damages the fertility of the soil.

Development of new chemicals which are used as insecticides has polluted the soil with dangerous chemicals which are poisonous for living organism.

Extensive use of these chemicals has introduced these chemicals in the food chain and food web causing harm to living beings.

DDT, an insecticide harmful to fish, birds, and humans, is produced by the following reaction. 2 C6H5Cl + C2HOCl3 → C14H9Cl5 + H
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

1,070.41 grams of DDT will be formed .Explanation:

1) 2 C_6H_5Cl + C_2HOCl_3\rightarrow C_{14}H_9Cl_5 + H_2O

Moles of chlorobenzene = \frac{1197 g}{112.5 g/mol}=10.64 mol

According to reaction, 2 moles of chloro benzene reacts with 1 mole of chloral . Then 10.64 moles of chloro benzene will react with :

\frac{1}{2}\times 10.64 mol=5.32 mole of chloral

2) Moles of chloral = \frac{456 g}{147.5 g/mol}=3.0915 mol

According to reaction, 1 moles of chloral reacts with 2 mole of chlorobenzene . Then 3.0915 moles of chloral will react with :

\frac{2}{1}\times 3.0915 mol=6.1830 mol of chloro benzene

As we can see that chloral is in limiting amount and chloro benzene is in excessive amount. So, amount of DDT will depend upon amount of chloral.

According to reaction, 1 mole chloral gives 1 mole DDT.Then 3.0195 moles of chloral will give :

\frac{1}{1}\times 3.0195 mol=3.0195 mol

Mass of 3.0195 moles of DTT :

3.0195 mol × 354.5 g/mol = 1,070.41 g

1,070.41 grams of DDT will be formed .

PLEASE HELP!!
NARA [144]
We can skip option B and D because NaCl is salt and H₂SO₄ is a strong acid.
Neutralization reactions are those reactions in which acid and base react to form salt and water.
As water being amphoteric in nature can react with HCl as follow,

                           HCl  +  H₂O   ⇆  H₃O⁺  +  OH⁻

In this case no salt is formed, so we can skip this option.

Ammonia being a weak base can abstract proton from HCl as follow,

                              HCl  +  NH₃  →  NH₄Cl

Ammonium Chloride is a salt. So, among all four options, Option-C is the correct answer.

In which of these samples do atoms have the greatest kinetic energy
shepuryov [24]

Answer is: atoms have the greatest kinetic energy in liquid iron (2,000°C).

The average kinetic energy of molecules depends on the temperature. 

At high temperature(2,000°C), molecules of iron have greater kinetic energy than molecules of iron at low temperature (1,600°C, 65°C and 25°C)..
