Explanation:

Air borne pollutants are usually very light particles that are usually carried in the air in the atmosphere. Some of these pollutants can be carried far away and some are found close to their sources.

Some of the factors are:

Wind pressure: if wind pressure is low, pollutants will not be carried far away. In this situation, the particles will be blown and carried over a short distance from their sources. When wind pressure is very high, pollutants will be carried extensively into farther areas.
Pollutants can be trapped in snow. In a snowy area, when pollutants reach sky high and enters condensed water in the atmosphere, they can become super cooled into ice and fall back within the same area where they are formed.
Rain water can also cause pollutants to be dispersed within a short area. Pollutants can mix with rain water and carrier back to the area where they were originally formed.

Answer:

Adhesive forces and cohesive forces

Explanation:

Cohesive forces is how much the water molecules stick to each other and adhesive forces are to which extinct they stick to other surfaces.

When we pull the paperclip upward the water molecules adhere to it due to adhesive forces. While the water on the clip is remain connected to water in the glass because of cohesive forces.

So if the adhesive forces dominates the water will be pulled out and if the cohesive forces dominate it will remain with other water in the cup.

Which of the following can be mixed in solution with H₂CO3 to make a buffer?OA. Na₂CO3OB. HFOC. NH3OD. NaHCO3

masha68 [24]

A buffer system usually will need a weak acid, like H2CO3, which is carbonic acid, and a strong base, and the only compound that could figure a fairly strong base among the options given is Na2CO3. NH3 and NaHCO3 are weak bases and HF is a strong acid. Therefore the best answer will be letter A
