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.

Mexico City has an elevation of 7400 ft above sea level. Its normal atmospheric pressure is 589 mm Hg. At what temperature does
IRISSAK [1]
Given that the volume and amount  of water are kept constant,
P/T = constant
P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂
Normal atmospheric pressure is 746 mmHg and normal boiling point of water is 100 °C.
746/100 = 589/T₂
T₂ = 79.0 °C

How do you expect the size of the atoms to change as you go from neon to argon to krypton
Olenka [21]

Answer:

The number of energy levels will increase.

Explanation:

As they are all Noble Gases, they are all in the same family. However, as you go further down the list of Noble Gases, the period number increases. The period number shows the number of energy levels. Hence, an increase in energy levels.

The polymerization of amino acids produces:
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Proteins

Explanation:

Polymerization, in chemistry, is the chemical combination of monomeric units to form a polymer. Polymers are large molecules made up of smaller units called monomers. Amino acids are the monomeric units of proteins i.e. A protein is made up of of many amino acids joined together.

Therefore, the chemical combination of amino acids will form a peptide bond between the carbon atom of the acid group and nitrogen atom of the amine group in the structure of the amino acids. This is done by the loss of a water molecule. The continuous repetition of this polymerization process will form a chain called polypeptide, which is the PROTEIN.

3. A 4.00 gram sample of solid gold was heated from 274K to 314K. How much energy was involved?
MrMuchimi
Q = mcΔT = (4.00 g)(0.129 J/g•°C)(40.85 °C - 0.85 °C)
Q = 20.6 J of energy was involved (more specifically, 20.6 J of heat energy was absorbed from the surroundings by the sample of solid gold).
