I don’t know what that guy was talking about above but here’s how it is connected to water and air

Answer:
Air:
When coal is burned it releases a number of airborne toxins and pollutants. They include mercury, lead, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulates, and various other heavy metals. Health impacts can range from asthma and breathing difficulties, to brain damage, heart problems, cancer, neurological disorders, and premature death.

Although limits set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have helped prevent some of these emissions, many plants don’t have the necessary pollution controls installed. The future of these protections remains unclear.

Water:
When you burn charcoal in your grill at home, ash is leftover. The same is true for coal-fired power plants, which produce more than 100 million tons of coal ash every year. More than half of that waste ends up in ponds, lakes, landfills, and other sites where, over time, it can contaminate waterways and drinking water supplies.

Other water impacts include acid rock drainage from coal mines, the obliteration of mountain streams and valleys by mountain top removal mining, and the energy-water collisions that occur when coal plants rely too heavily on local water supplies.

Identify the arrows that show removal of thermal energy when matter changes state.
8090 [49]
Let's identify first the phases of matter inside each of those beakers. The first beaker on the left has a compact shape and has its own volume. So, that must be solid. The middle beaker has a compact shape but it takes the shape of its container. So, that must be liquid. The third beaker on the right is gas because the molecules are far away from each other.

After identifying each states, let's investigate the energy for phase change. Let's start with the arrows pointing to the right. The first arrow to the right is a phase change from solid to liquid. The intermolecular forces in a solid is the strongest among the three phases of matter. So, you would need an input of energy to break them apart into liquid. The same is true for the phase change from liquid to gas. Therefore, all the arrows pointing to the right require an input of energy.

The reverse arrows pointing to the left needs to release energy. The molecules in the gas state are free such that they can travel from one point to another easily. They have the highest amount of energy. So, if you want the molecules to come closer together, you need to remove the energy to keep them in place. Therefore, the arrows pointing to the right require removal of energy.

Which equation represents a transuranium​
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

1) Since you have not provided the equations to select the right one, I am going to explain you the relevant facts that are used to solve this question.

2) The transuranium elements are the chemiical elements with atomic number greater than that of the uranium.

The atomic number of uranium is 92. So, the transuranium elements are the elements with atomic number 93 or greater.

This are some of the transuranium elements:

Neptunio - 93

Plutonium - 94

Americium - 95

Curium - 96

Berkelium - 97

Californium - 98

Einstenium - 99

And so all the known elements (the last one is the 118).

3) In a nuclear reaction the total mass number ( shown as superscript to the left of the symbol) and total atomic number (shown as subscript to the left of the symbol) are conserved.

4) Beta decay is the release of a beta particle, which is an electron (considered massles and with charge - 1). So, the beta decay is represented with the symbol:

0

 β, which means 0 mass and charge - 1.

-1

5) This is, then, an example of a β decay equation for one transuranium element:

239              239            0

     Np    →         Pu   +      β

 93                94            -1

As you see 239 = 239 + 0 and 93 = 94 - 1, showing that the total mass number ( shown as superscript to the left of the symbol) and the total atomic number (shown as subscript to the left of the symbol) are conserved.

Atoms of two adjacent elements in the third period are in the ground state. An atom of element A has only s electrons in its val
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

A is Magnesium, B is Aluminium both are adjacent element and lie in third period.

Magnesium with atomic number of 12 consist two s electrons in it's valence shell in ground state whereas, Aluminium which has atomic number of 13 consist three electrons in it's valence shell in the ground state out of which two are s electrons and only one p electron.

In an experiment, hydrochloric acid reacted with different volumes of sodium thiosulfate in water. A yellow precipitate was form
morpeh [17]

Answer:

The time taken for the cross to become invisible decreases.

Explanation:

We know that one of the factors affecting the rate of reaction is the concentration of reactants. From the collision theory, we know that the higher the concentration of reactants, the greater the possibility of effective collision between reactants leading ultimately to an increase in the rate of reaction. Increase in the rate of reaction implies that the reaction takes a shorter time to reach completion.

In the case of the reaction shown in the question, the point when the reaction is completed is observed by the time take for the cross mark to become invisible. If we look at the given data closely, we will notice that the volume of acid was held constant, the volume of thiosulphate was increased gradually while the volume of water was decreased accordingly. This implies that the concentration of the reactants was increased. Decreasing the volume of water increases reactant concentration.

As explained above, increase in reactant concentration increases the rate of reaction. Hence, the rate of reaction of the acid and thiosulphate increases as reactant concentration increases and the cross mark becomes invisible faster. This implies that in the last column for time taken for the cross to become invisible, the values of time decreases steadily as concentration of reactants increases.
