Answer:

FALSE                            

Explanation:

The incident of Muese Valley occured in 1930 due to air pollution.

Muese Valley lies along the river Muese which is situated Huy and Liege, Belgium. This region was crowded with industries including steel manufacturers, glass manufacturers, explosives plants, zinc smelter, etc.

The increase number of industries and population lead to the sources of pollution. Also increase in burning of domestic coal increased pollution surrounding the area.

Air pollution became so severe at this region that people have severe  respiratory problems. Residents suffered from vomiting, retrosternal pain, coughing fits and several experienced nausea. There were fog and smog all over and many people died.

Hence the answer is FALSE.

What is the chemical formula for monosaccharides?
goldfiish [28.3K]
Since monosaccharides are the simplest units of carbohydrates, then they are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. 

empirical formula : CxH2xOx
where
x  \geqslant 3
Monosaccharides can be classified by the number x of carbon atoms they contain: triose(3) tetrose (4), pentose (5), hexose (6), heptose (7), and so on.

The picture on the left represents the reactants in the equation and the picture on the right represents the products. Does this
JulijaS [17]
According to Law of conservation of matter," matter can neither be created nor destroyed but is conserved and remains constant over time'.

In above picture let suppose the Blue balls represent N₂ molecule and White balls represent H₂ molecules.

So, left picture represent reactants,

                                    2 N₂  +  6 H₂

And , right picture represent products,

                                     4 NH₃

So, there are 4 N atoms and 12 Hydrogen atoms in reactants and 4 N atom and 12 Hydrogen atoms in products. Means the mass of elements is conserved. The overall reactions is as follow,


                                    2 N₂  +  6 H₂   →   4 NH₃

Result:
          Yes! This reaction follow Law of conservation of Matter.

To learn how to calculate ion concentrations in an aqueous solution of a strong diprotic acid.
Kipish [7]

Answer:

The concentration of H⁺ ions is 0.0165 M.

Explanation:

Let's consider the dissociation of H₂SO₄. In the first step, H₂SO₄ acts as a strong acid, completely dissociating into HSO₄⁻ and H⁺. Therefore, the concentrations of these ions will be the <em>same</em> that the initial concentration of the acid.

           H₂SO₄ ⇒ HSO₄⁻ +    H⁺

Initial   0.010M        0            0

Final         0        0.010M   0.010M

Now, HSO₄⁻ is a weak acid that will dissociate partially to form H⁺ and SO₄²⁻.

HSO₄⁻ ⇄ H⁺ + SO₄²⁻

To find out the concentration of H⁺ from HSO₄⁻ we will use an ICE Chart. We recognize 3 stages: Initial, Change and Equilibrium, and complete each row with the concentration or change in concentration.

    HSO₄⁻ ⇄ H⁺ + SO₄²⁻

I   0.010        0        0

C     -x          +x      +x

E  0.010 -x    x         x

Ka2=0.012=\frac{[H^{+}].[SO_{4}^{2} ]}{H_{2}SO_{4}} =\frac{x^{2} }{0.010-x}

This quadratic equation has 2 solutions: x₁ = -0.018 and x₂ = 0.00649. Since concentrations cannot be negative, we choose x₂. Then, [H⁺] coming from HSO₄⁻ is 0.00649 M.

The total concentration of H⁺ is:

[H⁺] = 0.010 M + 0.00649 M = 0.0165 M
