What the guy above said, although he focuses more on the human side. In animals the bioaccumalation can cause toxicity and diseases within them too, and it can cause large loss of life. It also limits plant growth when in high doses, so new life can't grow in the area once the landfill is covered over

Copper is a heavy metal that can harm many people. This process of heavy metals building in your body is called bioaccumulation and the process of this building in the food chain is called biomagnification. Its hard to rid of this heavy metal because it is very dense, therefore, cannot breakdown in our bodies. Heavy metals get consumed by producers and then reach to the top of the pyramid (us) so we have the highest risk of getting diseases and so on. Make sure you explain that heavy metals get passed from industrial purposes where companies do not dispose of waste properly.

What is the capillary rise of ethanol in a glass tube with a 0.1 mm radius if the surface tension of ethanol is 0.032Jm2 and the
iragen [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Expression for capillary rise is as follows

h = 2T / ρ g r where T is surface tension , ρ is density of liquid and r is radius of capillary tube.

T = .032 J m⁻²

ρ = .71 g / cm³

= 7100 kg / m³

r = .1 x 10⁻³ m = 10⁻⁴ m

h = 2 x .032 / (7100 x 9.8 x 10⁻⁴ )

h = .0092 m

= 9.2 mm .

State the type of acid secreted by the stomach.
Ahat [919]
The gastric chief cells of the stomach secrete enzymes for protein breakdown (inactive pepsinogen, and in infancy rennin). Hydrochloric acid activates pepsinogen into the enzyme pepsin, which then helps digestion by breaking the bonds linking amino acids, a process known as proteolysis.

F2 is light yellow/colorless in hydrocarbon solvent. I2 is pink. If a student combines fluorine water with NaI (sodium iodide) i
Tamiku [17]
F₂ + 2 NaI → 2 NaF + I₂
<span>It is given that F₂ is light yellow / colorless in hydrocarbon solvent. The student combines Fluorine water with NaI in water. Then student adds pentane in the mixture of F₂ and NaI. After dissolution, solution was observed and a colorless pentane layer was seen. Alkanes are unreactive in nature. The C-H bond in alkane is difficult to break. whereas, F₂ is very reactive and reacts vigorously with alkanes in presence of light by free radical mechanism.It is given that the color of the solution is nearly colorless. F₂ when present in hydrocarbon solvent is light yellow/ colorless/ nearly colorless. Hence, F₂ is not reacting with hydrocarbon and there is no reaction taking place (No F</span>₂ is present<span>)</span>
