1. Describe potential long-term and short-term effects of exposure to chemicals.

Chemistry
1 answer:
attashe74 [19]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The answer to the question is explained below

Explanation:

A chemical is any substance or an element that can occur naturally or can be created artificially. Chemicals are found in many places like the soil, water, air. They can be found solely as an element without being combined with other elements, and they can also be found as a mixture in compounds.

Exposure to chemicals can be made possible through direct contact with the eye, broken skin. It can also be possible through Inhalation of gases, also through the mouth.

Long-term effects occur when an individual has been exposed to harmful chemicals over a long period of time, with the effect often fatal. Long-term exposure to chemicals include:

1. The weakening of the immune system

2. can cause cancer. For example, Carcinogens that cause cancer in humans, are gotten from exposures to Carbon Tetrachloride, Chloroform.

3. It can cause brain damage

4. It can lead to reproductive disorders

5. It can lead to eye damage, skin problems, and respiratory problems

Short-term effects occur when an individual has been exposed to harmful chemicals accidentally, or within a short period of time. As such, depending on the type of chemical, the amount the individual is exposed to, the effect is usually less fatal and can be addressed. Short-term exposure to chemicals include:

1. Skin or eye irritation

2. Headache

3. Nausea

4. Cough

5. Dizziness

6. Physical injuries

If you have 30.O g of hydrogen gas burned in excess oxygen how many moles of water can you make
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

15 moles

Explanation:

Data given:

mass of hydrogen (H₂) = 30.0 g

amount of oxygen (O₂) = excess

moles of water = ?

Solution:

First we look to the reaction in which hydrogen react with oxygen and make (H₂O)

Reaction:

              2H₂  + O₂  -----------> 2H₂O

Now look at the reaction for mole ratio

             2H₂  + O₂  -----------> 2H₂O

             2 mole                       2 mole

So it is 2:2 mole ratio of hydrogen to water

As we Know

molar mass of H₂  = 2(1) = 2 g/mol

molar mass of H₂O = 2(1) + 16 = 18 g/mol

Now convert moles to gram

                  2H₂         +       O₂        ----------->    2H₂O

          2 mole (2 g/mol)                                 2 mole (18 g/mol)

                    4 g                                                     36 g

So,

we come to know that 4 g of hydrogen gives 36 g of water then how many grams of water will be produce by 30 grams of hydrogen.

Apply unity formula

                       4 g of H₂ ≅ 36 g of H₂O

                        30 g of H₂ ≅ X of H₂O

Do cross multiplication

                  X of H₂O =  30 g x 36 g / 4 g

                  X of H₂O =  270 g

Now convert grams of H₂O into moles

               No. of moles = mass in grams/molar mass

Put values in above formula

               No. of moles = 270 g / 18 (g/mol)

               No. of moles = 15 mol

so 30 gram of hydrogen produce 15 mol of water.

5. Why are lonic compounds good conductors of electricity?
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The options are unclear, however, the correct option is:

Aqueous solutions of ionic compounds cause to dissociate, hence, ions are free to conduct electricity

Explanation:

Ionic compounds are compounds formed from ions (charged atoms). For example, NaCl is an ionic compound from the following ions; Na+ (cation) and Cl- (anion). One characteristics of ionic compounds is their ability to dissociate into the ions that form them when in an aqueous solution i.e. NaCl will dissociate into Na+ and Cl- when in an aqueous solution.

These disssociated ions are free to conduct electricity, hence, making ionic compounds good conductors of electricity.
