Plastic debris, laced with chemicals and often ingested by marine animals, can injure or poison wildlife. Floating plastic waste, which can survive for thousands of years in water, serves as mini transportation devices for invasive species, disrupting habitats.

Answer:

The environmental issues from plastics​ are discussed below.

Explanation:

The environmental issues from plastics are such as

  • Plastic pollution on land is both Chemical and Physical.
  • Plastic reduces the fertility of the land.
  • Plastic spoil soils hygiene and quality.
  • Plastic in soil can create an obstruction for the growth of plants by blocking water and other nutrients by reaching to the plant's roots.
  • Plastic also affects marine life some marine animals swallow plastic bags which seems like jellyfish in seawater.

Answer the following using the following information: ∆Hfus=6.02 kJ/mol; ∆Hvap= 40.7 kJ/mol; specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g
OLga [1]

Answer:

A. 56 kJ

B. 75.8 kJ

C. 11 ˚C

Explanation:

A. The heat of vaporization, ∆Hvap = 40.7 kJ/mol, gives the amount of energy per mole of water required to vaporize water to steam. The molar mass of water is 18.02 g/mol.

Q = M·∆Hvap = (25 g)(mol/18.02g)(40.7 kJ/mol) = 56 kJ

B. Five steps are necessary in this process. First, the ice will be warmed to 0 °C, then melted to water. The water will be heated to 100 °C, then vaporized. Finally, the vapor will be heated from 100 °C to 105 °C.

We calculate the heat required to warm the ice from -4.0 °C to 0 °C:

Q₁ = mcΔt = (25 g)(2.06 J∙g⁻¹˚C⁻¹)(0 °C - (-4.0 °C)) = 206 J

Then we calculate the heat required to melt the ice to water:

Q₂ = M∙∆Hfus = (25 g)(mol/18.02 g)(6.02 kJ/mol) = 8.35 kJ

Then, we calculate the heat required to warm the water from 0 °C to 100 °C.

Q₃ = mcΔt = (25 g)(4.184 J∙g⁻¹˚C⁻)(100 °C - 0 °C) = 10460 J

Then we calculate the heat required to vaporize the water:

Q₄ = M∙∆Hvap = (25 g)(mol/18.02 g)(40.7 kJ/mol)  = 56.5 kJ

Finally, the vapor is heated from 100 °C to 105 °C.

Q₅ = mcΔt = (25 g)(2.03 J∙g⁻¹˚C⁻)(105 °C - 100 °C) = 254 J

The total heat required is the sum of Q₁ through Q₅

Qtotal = Q₁ + Q₂ + Q₃ + Q₄ + Q₅

Qtotal = (206 J)(1 kJ/1000J) + 8.35 kJ + (10460 J)(1 kJ/1000J) + 56.5 kJ + (254 J)(1 kJ/1000J)

Qtotal = 75.8 kJ

C. The heat required to melt the ice is provided by the water as it decreases in temperature.  

First, we calculate the energy required to melt ice to water

Q = M∙∆Hfus = (8.32 g)(mol/18.02 g)(6.02 kJ/mol) = 2.779 kJ

There are at least two ways to solve this problem. Here, we will calculate the heat lost when all the water is brought to a temperature of 0 °C:

Q = mc∆t = (55 g)(4.184 J∙g⁻¹˚C⁻¹)(25 °C - 0°C) = 5753 J

We see that the water has enough energy to melt all of the ice. The residual heat energy of the water after melting all the ice is:

5753 J - (2.779 kJ)(1000J/kJ) = 2974 J

Now the problem becomes that we have (8.32 g + 55 g) = 63.32 g of water at 0 °C that will be raised to some final temperature by the residual heat of 2974 J:

Q = mcΔt ⇒ Δt = Q/(mc)

Δt = (2974 J) / (63.32 g)(4.184 J∙g⁻¹˚C⁻¹) = 11 ˚C

T(final) - T(inital) = 11 ˚C

T(final) = 11 ˚C + T(inital) = 11 ˚C + 0 ˚C  = 11 ˚C

Thus, the final temperature will be 11 ˚C.

at a constant temperature a gas is compressed from 4L to 1L. At 1L, the pressure of the gas is 98.2 kPa. What is the original pr
Elis [28]

Answer: 24.6kpa

Explanation:

This is a classic case where Boyle's Law can be applied.

The equation for Boyle's Law is given as: P1V1 = P2V2

Where P1 = initial pressure

P2 = final pressure

V1 = initial volume

V2 = final volume

From the question, P1 = ?, P2 = 98.2kpa , V1 =4L , V2 =1L

P1V1 = P2V2

P1 x 4L = 98.2 kpa x 1L

Make P1 subject of formula we then have:

P1 = 98.2kpa X 1L / 4L

= 24.6kpa

At a given temperature, the elementary reaction A − ⇀ ↽ − B , in the forward direction, is first order in A with a rate constant
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

0.24

Explanation:

We are given that

Rate constant for A=k=0.0180/s

Rate constant for  B,k'=0.0750/s

We have to find the value of equilibrium constant for the reaction

A\rightleftharpoons B

Equilibrium constant, for k=\frac{k}{k'}

Using the formula

k=\frac{0.0180}{0.0750}=0.24

Hence, the value of the equilibrium constant for the reaction

A\rightleftharpoons B at this temperature=0.24
