Explanation:
Scientific evidences abound of the occurrence of plastic pollution, from mega- to nano-sized plastics, in virtually all matrixes of the environment. Apart from the direct effects of plastics and microplastics pollution such as entanglement, inflammation of cells and gut blockage due to ingestion, plastics are also able to act as vectors of various chemical contaminants in the aquatic environment. This paper provides a review of the association of plastic additives with environmental microplastics, how the structure and composition of polymers influence sorption capacities and highlights some of the models that have been employed to interpret experimental data from recent sorption studies. The factors that influence the sorption of chemical contaminants such as the degree of crystallinity, surface weathering, and chemical properties of contaminants. and the implications of chemical sorption by plastics for the marine food web and human health are also discussed. It was however observed that most studies relied on pristine or artificially aged plastics rather than field plastic samples for studies on chemical sorption by plastics.
The answer to yo question is ( it has three OH groups).
Answer:
The ΔG° is 29 kJ and the reaction is favored towards reactant.
Explanation:
Based on the given information, the ΔH°rxn or enthalpy change is 41.2 kJ, the ΔS°rxn or change in entropy is 42.1 J/K or 42.1 * 10⁻³ kJ/K. The temperature given is 289 K. Now the Gibbs Free energy change can be calculated by using the formula,
ΔG° = ΔH°rxn - TΔS°rxn
= 41.2 kJ - 289 K × 42.1 × 10⁻³ kJ/K
= 41.2 kJ - 12.2 kJ
= 29 kJ
As ΔG° of the reaction is positive, therefore, the reaction is favored towards reactant.
Ice is a mixture and it can be a compound at the same time. A mixture is when you have to substance's put together fro example you can mix salt and sugar together. But a compound is when two different elements or molecules are combined. Ice cream is a mixture or cream and sugar mainly.
The amount of substance present in a certain object with a given half-life in terms of h can be expressed through the equation,
A(t) = (A(o))(0.5)^(t/h)
where A(t) is the amount of substance after t years and A(o) is the original amount. In this item we are given that A(t)/A(o) is equal to 0.89. Substituting the known values,
0.89 = (0.5)(t / 5730 years)
The value of t from the equation is 963.34 years.
<em>Answer: 963 years</em>
