Answer:

Conceit, is the right answer.

Explanation:

In the context of contemporary literary criticism, more popular with class fiction, conceit often involves a widespread oratorical device, summed up in a small expression, that applies to a position which either does not exist, or survives infrequently, but is required for the development.

The word conceit was independently coined in the setting of poetry, beginning from the root notion, conceive. It has finally been prolonged to other kinds of literature, the photography, painting, performing arts and architecture.

Suppose you find a rock that contains 10 micrograms of radioactive potassium-40, which has a half-life of 1.25 billion years. By

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The rock is 3.75 billion years ago.

Explanation:

Given that:

Half life = 1.25 billion years

1 billion years = 10⁹ years

So,

Half life = 1.25 × 10⁹ years

$t_{1/2}=\frac {ln\ 2}{k}$

Where, k is rate constant

So,

$k=\frac {ln\ 2}{t_{1/2}}$

$k=\frac {ln\ 2}{1.25\times 10^9}\ year^{-1}$

The rate constant, k = 5.5452 × 10⁻¹⁰ years⁻¹

Initial amount [A₀] = 80 micrograms

Final amount $[A_t]$ = 10 micrograms

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

$[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}$

So,

$10=80\times e^{-5.5452\times 10^{-10}\times t}$

$80e^{-5.5452\times \:10^{-10}x}=10$

$\frac{80e^{-5.5452\times \:10^{-10}x}}{80}=\frac{10}{80}$

$\ln \left(e^{-5.5452\times \:10^{-10}x}\right)=\ln \left(\frac{1}{8}\right)$

$x=\frac{10^{10}\times \:3\ln \left(2\right)}{5.5452}=3.75\times 10^9$

So,

The rock is 3.75 billion years ago.

Explain the effects of air pollution on several European countries.(site 1)

tatiyna

Answer:

Air pollution harms human health and the environment. In Europe, emissions of many air pollutants have decreased substantially over the past decades, resulting in improved air quality across the region. However, air pollutant concentrations are still too high, and air quality problems persist. A significant proportion of Europe’s population live in areas, especially cities, where exceedances of air quality standards occur: ozone, nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter (PM) pollution pose serious health risks. Several countries have exceeded one or more of their 2010 emission limits for four important air pollutants. Reducing air pollution therefore remains important.

Air pollution is a local, pan-European and hemispheric issue. Air pollutants released in one country may be transported in the atmosphere, contributing to or resulting in poor air quality elsewhere.

Particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide and ground-level ozone, are now generally recognised as the three pollutants that most significantly affect human health. Long-term and peak exposures to these pollutants range in severity of impact, from impairing the respiratory system to premature death. Around 90 % of city dwellers in Europe are exposed to pollutants at concentrations higher than the air quality levels deemed harmful to health. For example, fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in air has been estimated to reduce life expectancy in the EU by more than eight months. Benzo(a)pyrene is a carcinogenic pollutant of increasing concern, with concentrations being above the threshold set to protect human health in several urban areas, especially in central and eastern Europe.

"Air pollution is causing damage to human health and ecosystems. Large parts of the population do not live in a healthy environment, according to current standards. To get on to a sustainable path, Europe will have to be ambitious and go beyond current legislation."
