Explain why some pesticides bioaccumulate whereas others do not

Chemistry

KatRina [158]3 years ago

Bioaccumulation refers to the accumulation of chemicals in a living organism. The compound or chemical accumulates at a rate faster than it is being metabolized or excreted by the organism. Chemicals bioaccumulate by binding to the proteins and fats in an organism while others bioaccumulate through the repeated consumption of contaminated organisms. 

Pesticides containing chemicals that dissolve easily in fat but not in water tend to bioaccumulate. Pesticides that contain chemicals that can easily be metabolized by organisms do not bioaccumulate. In summary, the nature of the chemical used in pesticides and the capability of organisms to metabolize the said chemicals can dictate whether it will bioaccumulate or not.

Two compounds are standing at the same temperature. Compound "A" is evaporating more slowly than compound "
Tju [1.3M]
I believe the answer is compound B may have a lower molecular weight compared to compound A. 
At the same temperature, lighter particles of a compound have a higher average speeds than do heavier particles of another compound. Thus, particles of compound B are lighter than those of compound A and thus they have a higher average speed, hence evaporating faster compared to compound A.
