Answer:

Environment refers to everything that surrounds an individual and interacts between them. The factors that control the environment can be biotic and abiotic.

Humans have greatly affected the environment. Some of the ways in which the environment is affected by humans are as follows-

(1) Humans have constructed industries and factories that have released a huge amount of toxic gases into the atmosphere.

(2) These harmful gases have increased the earth's global temperature. As a result of which the global warming effect has increased.

(3) The waste materials eliminated from these industries mix with the rivers and streams and pollute the water. It degrades water quality.

(4) The fossil fuels are exhausted at a very high rate.

(5) The spilling of the oils in the oceans has affected the marine species drastically.

(6) Due to the extensive mining at different places, soil fertility has decreased considerably.

(7) Cutting down trees for settlement purposes and other infrastructures.

At what point is base no longer added during a titration

maria [59]

When you doing a titration, you need to use an indicator to confirm whether the reaction is completed. When the indicator has the color change and will not change back in one minute, the reaction is finished and you don't need to add more.

1) A mixture of anhydrous sodium carbonate and sodium hydrogencarbonate of mass 10.000 g was heated until it reached a constant

vodomira [7]

The masses of the components are obtained as;

Sodium hydrogen carbonate = 3.51 g
Sodium carbonate = 8.708 g

<h3>What is decomposition?</h3>

The term decomposition has to do with the breakdown of the given substance into its components. The components of sodium hydrogen carbonate could be identified as water vapor, carbon dioxide gas and sodium carbonate. Among these products that have been listed here, we can see that it is only the sodium carbonate that remains as a solid. The others are gases that move away from the system that is under study.

Now putting down the equation of the reaction, we have;

$2NaHCO_{3} (s) ----- > Na_{2} CO_{3} (s) + CO_{2} (g) + H_{2} O(g)$

Now, the loss in mass must be due to the carbon dioxide and the water. Hence we obtain the loss in mass to be 10.000 g - 8.708 g = 1.292 g

Mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate = 2 * 88 g/mol * 1.292 g/62 g/mol

= 3.51 g
