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.

Answer:
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of CuCl₂ = 2.50g
Mass of Al = 0.50g
Unknown:
Number of moles of CuCl₂ and Al = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we must understand that the number of moles is a fundamental property used in stoichiometry calculations.
Number of moles =
Molar mass of CuCl₂ = 63.6 + 2(35.5) = 134.5g/mole
Molar mass of Al = 26.98g/mole
Number of moles of CuCl₂ = = 0.019moles
Number of moles of Al = = 0.019moles
Answer:
exothermic reaction
Explanation:
If there is a drop in temperature, then energy was lost to the surroundings because temperature is the average measure of kinetic energy. An exothermic reaction would result in this lost of energy. An endothermic reaction would absorb energy and make the temperature rise.
Answer:
The atomic number of burienium will be 307.
Explanation:
During positron emission proton is converted into the neutron and one electron neutrino with positron is released. It means the atomic number will be reduce by one and atomic mass remain same.
For example:
²³Mg₁₂ → ₁₁Na²³+ e⁺+ Ve
Similarly, when highlinium-308 undergoes positron emission the new element burienium is produced and the atomic number will be 307 while atomic mass remain same.
Properties of beta radiations:
Beta radiations are result from the beta decay in which electron is ejected. The neutron inside of the nucleus converted into the proton an thus emit the electron which is called β particle.
The mass of beta particle is smaller than the alpha particles.
They can travel in air in few meter distance.
These radiations can penetrate into the human skin.
The sheet of aluminium is used to block the beta radiation
