Since the only way of water flow to these lakes or bodies of water is through evaporation, I would expect an increase in unknown substances in the composition of the lakes due to the amount of contamination that globalization produces and affects terribly the surroundings when these unknown substances travel through evaporation as the outlet of these bodies of water. Therefore I think continuous contamination is what to expect after many more years of inflow and evaporation.
Answer:
When octane and oxygen gas are burned in our cars, carbon dioxide and water come out of the exhaust. The increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is causing global warming. 4.

Answer:
The oxidation state of N in the KNO3 is +5
Explanation:
Oxidation rules:
1. Oxygen is -2, unless in peroxides.
2. Group 1 metals = +1
3. Group 2 metals = +2
4. If the molecule is neutral, all of the oxidation numbers have to add up to zero.
5. If the molecule is charged, all of the oxidation numbers have to add up to the charge of the molecule.
So, the given formula represents the salt compound formula unit of potassium nitrate: KNO3
The formula unit is uncharged.
From our rules, we know that,
O = -2
And we can find K on the periodic table, in the first group, thus giving it a +1 charge. Now let's put it all together.
K = +1
N = x
O = -2
Let's take into account the number of atoms of each element we have and make an equation since we know everything has to add up to zero since the molecules are neutral.
+1 +x+3 (-2) = 0 (notice we multiplied 3 by -2 because in the formula we have 3 atoms of oxygen with -2 charge each)
x - 5 = 0
x = 5
Therefore, the oxidation number of N in KNO3 is +5.
The particles of the solute leave each other and become surrounded by particles of the solvent.
