Explanation:
The hydrological cycle is the continuous cycling of water between land, open water surfaces and the sea. This cycle begins with evaporation, sunlight evaporates water from the surface of earth, next condensation happens, the water absorbed is now used to form clouds, after these clouds are filled to the maximum, precipitation happens, this can be in the form of rainfall and snow, this cycle finalizes when the precipitation of water runs off the land and back into water sources.
Sources of water pollution:
- <em>During precipitation: </em>Smog can be gathered in the atmosphere, during precipitation this pollution can turn into acid rain.
- <em>During runoff:</em> After acid rain hits the ground this polluted water can run into water sources (lakes, rivers, reservoirs).To some extent rivers are a self-renewing resource, if a small quantity of pollution discharges in it the river can return to a clean, unpolluted condition, unfortunately, if the pollution is too big the renewing won't be possible, another problem is even though rivers get cleaned the pollution moves to the seas. Lakes are even more vulnerable to pollution, the flushing effect in these water bodies is less evident than in rivers.

1) Temperature (heat) of the solution
2) Concentration (amount) of both solvent (usually water) and solute (substance being dissolved by solvent)
3) Movement (kinetic energy) of the solution, as in shaking/stirring
Answer:
2.5×10⁶ s
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Rate constant (K) = 2.8×10¯⁷ s¯¹
Half-life (t½) =?
The half-life of a first order reaction is given by:
Half-life (t½) = 0.693 / Rate constant (K)
t½ = 0.693 / K
With the above formula, we can obtain the half-life of the reaction as follow:
Rate constant (K) = 2.8×10¯⁷ s¯¹
Half-life (t½) =?
t½ = 0.693 / K
t½ = 0.693 / 2.8×10¯⁷
t½ = 2.5×10⁶ s
Therefore, the half-life of the reaction is 2.5×10⁶ s
