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.

Which of the following has to remain constant to allow you to use the combined gas law for calculations?
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Amount of gas

Explanation:

The combined gas law has to do with pressure, volume, and temperature. All of them can be a variable that you have to solve for. However, amount of gas is not a variable you can solve for, which means it must remain constant.

The molecular formula for butane is C4H10. Determine the percent composition for
masya89 [10]

%Mass

Ar C = 12 g/mol, Mr C₄H₁₀ = 58 g/mol, Ar H = 1 g/mol

\tt C=\dfrac{4.12}{58}\times 100\%=82.8\%\\\\H=100\%-82.8\%=17.2\%

or

\tt H=\dfrac{10.1}{58}\times 100\%= 17.2\%

A sample of H2 gas (2.0 L) at 3.5 atm was combined with 1.5 L of N2 gas at 2.6 atm pressure at a constant temperature of 25 °C i
Tamiku [17]
For this system, we use Dalton's law of partial pressures where the total pressure of a gas mixture is said to be equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the gases. The partial pressure of each gas would be calculated by the product of the mole fraction and the original pressure of the gas. We do as follows:

Total pressure = x1P1 + x2P2
Total pressure = (2.0 / 7.0 )(3.5) + (1.5/7.0)(2.6)
Total pressure = 1.56 atm

Answer: A

Explanation:
The buoyancy force only takes affect when an object is placed in water and floats. This occurs because the density of that object is less than the density of water.
Water is the main liquid used for measuring the density of an object.

Hope this helps! Please tell me if I am wrong :3
