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.

What pressure is required to compress 196.0 liters of air at 1.83 atmosphere into a cylinder whose volume is 26.0 liters
drek231 [11]

Answer:

P₂ = 13.79 atm

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 196.0 L

Initial pressure = 1.83 atm

Final volume = 26.0 L

Final pressure = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solved through the Boyle's law,

"The volume of given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure by keeping the temperature and number of moles constant"

Mathematical expression:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = initial volume

P₂ = final pressure

V₂ = final volume  

Now we will put the values in formula,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

1.83 atm × 196.0 L = P₂× 26.0 L

P₂ = 358.68 atm. L /  26.0 L

P₂ = 13.79 atm
