Answer:
D. Waste management issues
Explanation:
Answer A: The five major types of pollution - water pollution, air pollution, land pollution, light pollution, noise pollution - have negative effects on the environment, on human health, and our planet as a whole.
Answer B: Urban Heat Island (UHI) is an urban area that is significantly warmer than its surrounding rural areas due to human activities. UHI decreases air quality.
Answer C: The increased use of surrounding land is the main cause of biodiversity loss.
Answer D: Any field of environmental management help people to solve pollution problems. So, D is the correct answer.

Hope this answer can help you. Have a nice day!
Answer:
I could create a slower reaction because the particles might be moving slower due to the cold. if it was warm there will be a faster reaction. similar to the elements movements in solids and liquids.
Answer: from the Zn anode to the Cu cathode
Justification:
1) The reaction given is: Zn(s) + Cu₂⁺ (aq) -> Zn²⁺ (aq) +Cu(s)
2) From that, you can see the Zn(s) is losing electrons, since it is being oxidized (from 0 to 2⁺), while Cu²⁺, is gaining electrons, since it is being reduced (from 2⁺ to 0).
3) Then, you can already tell that electrons go from Zn to Cu.
4) The plate where oxidation occurs is called anode, and the plate where reduction occus is called cathode.
So you get that the electrons flow from the anode (Zn) to the cathode (Cu).
Always oxidation occurs at the anode, and reduction occurs at the cathode.
Answer : The fraction of carbonic acid present in the blood is 5.95%
Explanation :
The mixture consists of carbonic acid ( H₂CO₃) and bicarbonate ion ( HCO₃⁻). This represents a mixture of weak acid and its conjugate which is a buffer.
The pH of a buffer is calculated using Henderson equation which is given below.
![pH = pKa + log \frac{[Base]}{[Acid]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%20%3D%20pKa%20%2B%20log%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BBase%5D%7D%7B%5BAcid%5D%7D)
We have been given,
pH = 7.5
pKa of carbonic acid = 6.3
Let us plug in the values in Henderson equation to find the ratio Base/Acid.
![7.5 = 6.3 + log \frac{[base]}{[acid]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=7.5%20%3D%206.3%20%2B%20log%20%5Cfrac%7B%5Bbase%5D%7D%7B%5Bacid%5D%7D)
![1.2 = log \frac{[base]}{[acid]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1.2%20%3D%20log%20%5Cfrac%7B%5Bbase%5D%7D%7B%5Bacid%5D%7D)
![\frac{[Base]}{[Acid]} = 10^{1.2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5BBase%5D%7D%7B%5BAcid%5D%7D%20%3D%2010%5E%7B1.2%7D)
![\frac{[Base]}{[Acid]} = 15.8](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5BBase%5D%7D%7B%5BAcid%5D%7D%20%3D%2015.8)
![[Base] = 15.8 \times [Acid]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BBase%5D%20%3D%2015.8%20%5Ctimes%20%5BAcid%5D)
The total of mole fraction of acid and base is 1. Therefore we have,
![[Acid] + [Base] = 1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BAcid%5D%20%2B%20%5BBase%5D%20%3D%201)
But Base = 15.8 x [Acid]. Let us plug in this value in above equation.
![[Acid] + 15.8 \times [Acid] = 1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BAcid%5D%20%2B%2015.8%20%5Ctimes%20%5BAcid%5D%20%3D%201)
![16.8 [Acid] = 1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=16.8%20%5BAcid%5D%20%3D%201)
![[Acid] = \frac{1}{16.8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BAcid%5D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B16.8%7D)
![[Acid] = 0.0595](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BAcid%5D%20%3D%200.0595)
[Acid] = 0.0595 x 100 = 5.95 %
The fraction of carbonic acid present in the blood is 5.95%
