Answer:

Arsenic.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since insecticides are substances that act as poisons to get rid of insects in order to prevent their presence and/or reproduction in houses, companies, crops and others, a substance that has been widely used is the metalloid arsenic due to its direct affection of the insect's body (movement, performance, cellular functions).

In addition, high levels of arsenic in food could cause arsenic poisoning in humans as well, that is why such practice must be properly performed and by using the correct security protocol.

Best regards!

Refraction occurs when the speed of light changes as it travels between mediums.<br><br><br> T<br> F
Mariana [72]

The answer is true

Refraction is an effect that occurs when a light wave, incident at an angle away from the normal, passes a boundary from one medium into another in which there is a change in velocity of the light.The wavelength decreases as the light enters the medium and the light wave changes direction.

In a 71.4 g sample of nahco 3 3 ​ , how many grams of sodium are present?
sweet [91]

There are 19.5 g Na in 71.4 g NaHCO₃

Calculate the <em>molecular mass of NaHCO₃</em>.

1 Na = 1 × 22.99 u = 22.99   u

1 H   = 1 × 1.008 u =    1.008 u

1 C   = 1 × 12.01  u =  12.01    u

3 O = 3 × 16.00 u =  <u>48.00  u </u>

               TOTAL =  84.008 u

So, there are 22.99 g of Na in 84.008 g NaHCO₃.

∴ Mass of Na = 71.4 g NaHCO₃ × (22.99 g Na/84.008 g NaHCO₃) = 19.5 g Na

Determine the kinds of intermolecular forces that are present in each element or compound. Part A KrKr Check all that apply. Che
OLga [1]

Answer:

The kinds of intermolecular forces that are present in each element Kr-Kr.

Explanation:

Since Kr is an inert gas and in atomic form only it is highly stable.

So, Kr gas does not form molecules.

Between the atoms of inert gas, there exist London dispersion forces.

Hence, the intermolecular forces that are present between Kr-Kr atoms is London dispersion forces.
