Hello!

The amount of dissolved oxygen in the Missouri River would decrease if large amounts of chemical waste were dumped into it. 

This is related to the Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), which is the amount of oxygen required by microorganisms in the water to process and use chemical waste as food. When chemical waste is added to the water, microorganisms require more oxygen to process this waste and the amount of dissolved oxygen decreases. The Biological Oxygen Demand is used to determine whether wastewater is contaminated or not because as there is more contamination, the Biological Oxygen Demand is higher.

Have a nice day!

The energy and state changes that occur when freezing rain falls and solidfies on a wire fence
Alex787 [66]

Freezing rain is the term given to the precipitation of the rain sustained at temperatures below freezing by the ambient air mass, which results in freezing on encountering with the surfaces. Freezing rain is formed completely of liquid droplets, unlike sleet, ice pellets, or hail.  

The freezing rain falls and solidifies on a wire fence as the rain is changing from a liquid to a solid state by withdrawing thermal energy, ultimately resulting in freezing.

If 250 milliliters of Calcium Hydroxide is titrated with 345 milliliters of 0.75 molarity hydrobromic acid, what is the concentr
Bingel [31]
The balanced neutralization reaction here is:

Ca(OH)2 + 2HBr --> 2H2O + CaBr2

Notice that two moles of Her are required to neutralize every one mole of Ca(OH)2. This means that for however many moles of Her reacted, HALF as many moles of Ca(OH)2 reacted as well.

Moles of HBr reacted = 0.75 M x 0.345 L = 0.259 mol

Moles of Ca(OH)2 reacted = 0.259 mol / 2 = 0.130 mol

Concentration of Ca(OH)2 = 0.130 mol / 0.250 L = 0.52 M

Explain why some pesticides bioaccumulate whereas others do not
KatRina [158]
Bioaccumulation refers to the accumulation of chemicals in a living organism. The compound or chemical accumulates at a rate faster than it is being metabolized or excreted by the organism. Chemicals bioaccumulate by binding to the proteins and fats in an organism while others bioaccumulate through the repeated consumption of contaminated organisms. 

Pesticides containing chemicals that dissolve easily in fat but not in water tend to bioaccumulate. Pesticides that contain chemicals that can easily be metabolized by organisms do not bioaccumulate. In summary, the nature of the chemical used in pesticides and the capability of organisms to metabolize the said chemicals can dictate whether it will bioaccumulate or not.
