Why can't we destroy bothersome pollutants by just dissolving in ocean

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nataliya [291]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Bothersome pollutants are pollutants that persist in water.

Explanation:

Bothersome pollutants are those pollutants that have deleterious effects on human health which are consistently lodged into water bodies. Bothersome pollutants include petroleum products, heavy metals, and toxic chemicals etc.

Many of these bothersome pollutants are non biodegradable. They accumulate at the bottom of the ocean thereby causing problems for aquatic organisms and disrupting the aquatic ecosystems in the ocean.

These bothersome pollutants are not soluble in water hence we can not just destroy them by dissolving them in water. They persist in the aquatic ecosystem and can even migrate from place to place thereby spreading pollution.

A 68-kg man whose average body temperature is 39°C drinks 1 L of cold water at 3°C in an effort to cool down. Taking the average
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

<h3>The man's average body temp. will fall by 0.6°C to 38.4°C</h3>

Explanation:

The enthalpy (heat content) of the water, using a datum of 0°C, is

Hw = Mw kg x Cp,w (specific heat capacity kJ/kg °C) x Tw °C

      = 1 kg x 4.18 kJ/kg°C x 3°C = 12.5 kJ

Hman (pre drink) = 68 kg x 3.6 kJ/kg/°C x 39°C = 9547 kJ

So Hman (post drink) = H (pre drink) + Hw = 9547 + 12.5 = 9559.5 kJ because no heat is lost immediately.

But Hman (after drink) has mass 68 + 1 = 69 kg

Also his new Cp will be approx (3.6 x 68/69) + (4.18 x 1/69) = 3.608 kJ/kg°C

So Hman = 9559.5 kJ (from above) = 69 kg x 3.608 kJ/kg°C x Tnew

Therefore the man's new overall temp. = 38.4°C which is a drop of 0.6°C

When bacteria reproduces asexually are the offspring uniform or diverse?
mario62 [17]

Answer:

Reproduction may be asexual when one individual produces genetically identical offspring, or sexual when the genetic material from two individuals is combined to produce genetically diverse offspring.

Identify the term that applies to each definition.
Illusion [34]

Answer:

A. Reference blank

B. Cuvettes

C. Transmittance

D. Absorbance

E. Wavelength

Explanation:

A reference blank is a sample prepared using the solvent and any other chemicals in the sample solutions, but not the absorbing substance.

A square-shaped container, typically made of quartz, designed to hold samples in a spectrophotometer is known as Cuvettes.

A measurement of the amount of light that passes through a sample or percentage of light transmitted by the sample, with the respective intensities of the incident and transmitted beams is called Transmittance.

The measurement of the amount of light taken in by a sample is known as Absorbance

The wavelength is also the distance travelled by the wave during a period of oscillation. In spectrophotometry, the unit is inversely proportional to energy and commonly measured in nanometers

What is the concentration of agcl in an aqueous solution that contains 1.2 x 10-3 gram of agcl in 800. grams of the solution? 1.
Vlada [557]
Concentration can be measured in ppm. ppm means parts mer million. In terms of mass , ppm units are mg/kg. 
concentration of AgCl solution is the mass of AgCl solute in mg per 1 kg of solution. 
mass of AgCl present = 1.2 x 10⁻³ kg = 1.2 mg
mass of solution = 800 g = 0.800 kg
the mass of AgCl in 0.800 kg of solution  = 1.2 mg
therefore mass of AgCl in 1 kg of solution = 1.2 mg / 0.800 kg x 1 kg = 1.5 mg
concentration of AgCl is 1.5 mg/kg
since mg/kg = ppm 
concentration of AgCl = 1.5 ppm
answer is 1.5 ppm
