The Environmental Protection Agency suggests using cold tap water for cooking instead of starting with warm tap water is because our drinking water is made out lead pipes, which is a serious risk to health.

Explanation:

  • Lead is found throughout  the environment in lead found in paint, air, soil,   food and water.
  • Lead can pose  a significant risk to your health  if too much of it enters your body.  
  • Lead enters drinking water primarily  as a result of the corrosion.
  • It also contains in materials containing lead like in the water distribution system and   household plumbing.
  • Lead in drinking rarely cause of lead poisoning can significantly increase a person’s total lead exposure.
  • In particular the exposure of infants who drink baby formulas  and concentrated juices that are  mixed with water.
  • EPA estimates  that drinking water can make up  to 20% or more of a person’s  total exposure to lead which is dangerous.

Pollen is transferred from the stamen of one flower to the stigma of another. What has occurred?
Digiron [165]
Cross-pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower on a different individual of the same species. Self-pollination occurs in flowers where the stamen and carpel mature at the same time, and are positioned so that the pollen can land on the flower's stigma.

What happens to the ions when the drain is turned off? please help :] ❤️
kkurt [141]

Answer:

In a long channel MOSFET, the width of the pinch-off region is assumed small relative to the length of the channel. Thus, neither the length nor the voltage across the inversion layer change beyond the pinch-off, resulting in a drain current independent of drain bias. Consequently, the drain current saturates.

Which one of the following items does NOT characterize a reducing agent? a. A reducing agent loses electrons. b. A reducing agen
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: D

Explanation:

A reducing agent is a species that reduces other compounds, and is thereby oxidized. The whole compound becomes the reducing agent. In other words, of a compound is oxidized, then they are the reducing agent. On the other hand, if the compound is reduced, it is an ozidizing agent.

Since we have established that a reducing agent is the compound being oxidized, we know that A is not our answer. An oxidized compound is losing electrons. Choice A states exactly this.

For B, this is true as we have established this already.

C is also correct. Since a reducing agent loses electrons, it becomes more positive. This makes the oxidation number increase.

D would be our correct answer. It is actually a good oxidizing agent is a metal in a high oxidation state, such as Mn⁷⁺.
