Explain why some pesticides bioaccumulate whereas others do not

Chemistry
1 answer:
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.

When an unknown amine reacts with an unknown acid chloride, an amide with a molecular mass of 163 g/mol (M = 163 m/z) is formed.
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

            As the molecular mass of given amine is 163 g/mol (a odd number) it means that this compound contains a odd number of Nitrogen atoms. We will first apply Rule of Thirteen to get the molecular formula.

Rule of Thirteen:

First divide the parent peak value by 13 as,

                = 163 ÷ 13

                = 12.53

Now, multiply 13 by 12,

                = 13 × 12 (here, 12 specifies number of carbon atoms)

                = 156

Now subtract 156 from 163,

                = 163 - 156

                = 7

Add 7 into 12,

                = 7 + 12

                = 19 (hydrogen atoms)

So, the rough formula we have is,

                                                       C₁₂H₁₉

Now, add one Nitrogen atom to above formula and subtract one Carbon and 2 Hydrogen atoms as these numbers are equal to atomic mass of Nitrogen atom as,

                C₁₂H₁₉   -------N-------->    C₁₁H₁₇N

Also, as shown in ¹³C-NMR there is one peak around 180 ppm and the peak at 1661 cm⁻¹ in IR spectrum is characteristic to carbonyl group hence, we will add one oxygen atom to the chemical formula accordingly. i.e.

                C₁₁H₁₇N   -------O-------->    C₁₀H₁₃NO

Molecular Formula: C₁₀H₁₃NO

Also,

In NMR the the four peaks around 120 ppm are assigned to a mono substituted benzene ring.

The absence of IR peak above 3200 cm⁻³ also confirms that the amine is tertiary in nature and there is no hydrogen attached to the nitrogen atom.

It can be observed that the peaks in upfield are duplicating. This can be due to the presence of rotamers of said compound.

The most plausible structure for given data is shown below, and the resonance structure along with rotamers are also shown.

Which of these figures probably shows a sugar solution containing a small amount of sugar dissolved in water
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The correct answer is Sugar has a greater solubility than sand.

Sugar will easily dissolve in water because it has a lower density than sand, therefore it has a greater solubility.
