Some benefits are that DDT helps us grow crops and keeps pests off our crops.

But DDT is harmful to the environment. If it gets into the water ways then if can harm fish and animals that eat the fish such as birds.

Which of the following observations would indicate that a material is a pure substance?

Ira Lisetskai [31]

The answer to the question is the option C. it cannot be physically broken down into different types of atoms. This means that the material is an element, which is a pure substance. Because an element is a pure substance that is formed by one only type of atoms. For example, gold is an element and all its atoms are of the same type. That is also true for any of the 118 elements of the periodic table. Compounds (other kind of pure substances) can be broken down into molecules (which contain different kind of atoms, but always in the same proportion) and mixtures (non pure substances) have different kind of substances.

A sample of black coffee was measured to have [h3o+] = 7.94 × 10−6. what is true about this solution?

Sveta_85 [38]

Being given the hydronium (or simply the hydrogen) ion concentration (molarity), one of the easiest properties of the solution to determine is its pH. The pH of a solution indicates the acidity (or basicity) of a given solution. The typical pH range of solutions is from 1 to 14, with 7 being neutral, 1 to 6 being acidic, and 8 to 14 being basic.

To determine the pH of a solution, the negative log (-log) of the hydronium/hydrogen ion concentration (molarity) of the solution is calculated. Thus (assuming that the given hydrogen ion concentration is in molarity (mol/L)),

pH = -log( $H^{+}$ ) or -log( $H_{3} O^{+}$
pH = -log (7.94 × 10−6 mol/L)
pH = 5.13

Because the pH is less than 7 (within the range 1 to 6), then the black coffee solution is acidic.
