Chemistry

IrinaVladis [17]4 years ago
7 0
This type of water pollution is known as thermal pollution. Thermal pollution is the release of heat into the environment. In the case of power plants they release heated water into waterways. Water is used in power plants to cool down machinery. As machines operate they release heat so the water is used as a coolant. Releasing heated water into an aquatic ecosystem reduces the oxygen carrying capacity of the water, so less oxygen is available for organisms to use for respiration.

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

1.01atm is the pressure of the gas

Explanation:

The difference in heights in the two sides is because of the difference in  pressure of the enclosed gas and the atmospheric pressure. This difference is in mm of the nonvolatile liquid. The difference in mm Hg is:

32.3mm * (0.993g/mL / 13.6g/mL) = 2.36mmHg

As atmospheric pressure is 765mm Hg and assuming the gas has more pressure than the atmospheric pressure (There is no illustration), the pressure of the gas is:

765mm Hg + 2.36mm Hg = 767.36 mmHg

In atm:

767.36 mmHg * (1atm / 760 mmHg) =

1.01atm is the pressure of the gas

dlinn [17]
Solute is a substance that dissolves in a solvent in order to form a solution. Solutes can be in liquid, gaseous or solid phase. Normally, in a solution, solutes are in a lesser amount than the solvents. When a solution has the maximum amount of solutes it can dissolve, then the solution is said to be saturated.
