Which resources are significantly polluted by heavy metals like mercury? A. soil B. water C. neither A nor B D. both A and B

Chemistry
1 answer:
Firdavs [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Mercury is occurs in earth crust but its mining ,combustion of fossil fuel and extraction had led to spreading of mercury pollution not only on lands but in air and water bodies also.  

Mercury settled on land get washed way into water bodies which further gets introduced in life process of living beings in the water and eventually effecting the whole food chain or web.

Hence, from the the given options the correct option is (D).

Predict the sign of ΔSsys for each of the following processes. Which are positive? (a) Gasoline vapors mix with air in a car eng
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Positive: a and b

Negative: c

Explanation:

The entropy (S) is the measure of the randomness of the system, and it intends to increase. The randomness can be determined by the energy of the molecules, their velocity and how distance they are between the other molecules.

When the entropy increases, ΔS is positive, when the entropy decreases, ΔS is negative. So, when gasoline mix with air in a car engine, the process intends to continue, the randomness increases and ΔS is positive. When hot air expands, the distance between the molecules increases, so ΔS is positive.

But, when humidity condenses, the molecules stay closer, so there's a decrease in the randomness, then ΔS is negative.

2. Extract the relevant information from the question: NaOH V = 30 mL , M = 0.10 M HCl V = 25.0 mL, M = ?
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

0.12M

Explanation:

A balanced equation for the reaction will go a great deal in obtaining our desired result. So, let us write a balanced equation for the reaction

HCl + NaOH —> NaCl + H2O

From the above equation,

nA (mole of the acid) = 1

nB (mole of the base) = 1

Data obtained from the question include:

Vb (volume of the base) = 30mL

Mb (Molarity of the base) = 0.1M

Va (volume of the acid) = 25mL

Ma (Molarity of the acid) =?

The molarity of the acid can be obtained as follow:

MaVa/MbVb = nA/nB

Ma x 25/ 0.1 x 30 = 1

Cross multiply to express in linear form

Ma x 25 = 0.1 x 30

Divide both side by 25

Ma = (0.1 x 30) / 25

Ma = 0.12M

The molarity of the acid is 0.12M

The strongest intermolecular interactions between pentane (c5h12) molecules arise from
Andrew [12]
The intermolecular interactions found between pentane molecules are London-Dispersion Forces.

Explaination:

Step 1:
           Instantaneous Dipole: As the pentane molecule is non polar in nature and the electron density on each molecule is symmetrical. When this symmetrical molecule approaches second symmetrical molecule there disturbance is caused due to repulsion between electrons. Due to repulsion the electrons changes there position and for a small period of time an instantaneous dipole is produced on pentane molecule.

Step 2:
           Induced Dipole:
The dipole produced in step one when approaches another symmetrical pentane molecule, the partial positive part (low electron density site) attracts the electron from symmetrical pentane and induces polarity in it.

In this way the process repeats and interactions are developed between the non polar pentane molecules.
