How plastic polymer types of compositions, surface hydrophobicity, crystallinity, porosity, size, shapes, aging or degree of wea

Andreas93 [3]

Explanation:

Scientific evidences abound of the occurrence of plastic pollution, from mega- to nano-sized plastics, in virtually all matrixes of the environment. Apart from the direct effects of plastics and microplastics pollution such as entanglement, inflammation of cells and gut blockage due to ingestion, plastics are also able to act as vectors of various chemical contaminants in the aquatic environment. This paper provides a review of the association of plastic additives with environmental microplastics, how the structure and composition of polymers influence sorption capacities and highlights some of the models that have been employed to interpret experimental data from recent sorption studies. The factors that influence the sorption of chemical contaminants such as the degree of crystallinity, surface weathering, and chemical properties of contaminants. and the implications of chemical sorption by plastics for the marine food web and human health are also discussed. It was however observed that most studies relied on pristine or artificially aged plastics rather than field plastic samples for studies on chemical sorption by plastics.

Consider the relationship (y+3)2 = b/(x-2), where y and x are variables and bis a constant. On rectangular coordinate paper, wha

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

(-1) is the slope of a graph of In(y+3) on the vertical axis versus In(x-2) on the horizontal axis.

Explanation:

$\frac{(y+3)}{2} = \frac{b}{(x-2)}$

Taking natural logarithm on both the sides:

$\ln [(y+3)]-\ln[2]=\ln [b]-\ln [(x-2)]$

$\ln [(y+3)]=\ln[2]+\ln [b]-\ln [(x-2)]$

$\ln [(y+3)]=\ln {[2\times b]-\ln [(x-2)]$

Slope intercept form is generally given as:

$y=mx+c$

m = slope, c = intercept on y axis or vertical axis

On rearranging equation:

$\ln [(y+3)]=(-1)\times \ln [(x-2)]+\ln {2b}$

y = ln [(y+3)], x = ln [(x-2)], m=-1 , c = ln 2b

(-1) is the slope of a graph of In(y+3) on the vertical axis versus In(x-2) on the horizontal axis.

A gas is initially confined to a 1.00 L vessel at 3.00 atm of pressure. A valve connecting the 1.00 L vessel to a 3.00 L vessel

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

c. 0.750 atm .

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the two vessels have different volume, we can see that the gas is initially at 3.00 atm into the 1.00-L vessel, but next, it is allowed to move towards the 3.00-L vessel, meaning that the final volume wherein the gas is located, is 4.00 L; therefore, we use the Boyle's law to compute the final pressure:

$P_2V_2=P_1V_1\\\\P_2=\frac{P_1V_1}{V_2} \\\\P_2=\frac{3.00atm*1.00L}{4.00L}\\\\P_2=0.750atm$

Therefore the answer is c. 0.750 atm .

Best regards!

If an object is travelling 25.0 meters/second, how far will it travel in 45 minutes?

Misha Larkins [42]

Speed=25m/s
Time=45min=(45×60)s=2700s

$\\ \rm\longmapsto Distance=Speed(Time)$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto Distance=25(2700)$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto Distance=67500m$

Describe two physical and two chemical changes involved in cooking. (4 points)

Ivenika [448]

Physical changes are when things get changed without altering chemical consistencies, which is melting solid butter into liquid one, or boiling water. Chemical changes are things such as caramelizing sugar when making sweets, or when carbon dioxide is created and released when baking bread.
