Around Home

1. Conserve Water

Use less water so excess runoff and wastewater will not flow into the ocean.
2. Reduce Pollutants

Choose nontoxic chemicals and dispose of herbicides, pesticides, and cleaning products properly.
3. Reduce Waste

Cut down on what you throw away.
Around Town

4. Shop Wisely

Choose sustainable seafood. Buy less plastic and bring a reusable bag.
5. Reduce Vehicle Pollution

Use fuel efficient vehicles, carpool or ride a bike.
6. Use Less Energy

Choose energy efficient light bulbs and don't overset your thermostat.
On the Water

7. Fish Responsibly

Follow "catch and release" practices and keep more fish alive.
8. Practice Safe Boating

Anchor in sandy areas far from coral and sea grasses. Adhere to "no wake" zones.
9. Respect Habitat

Healthy habitat and survival go hand in hand. Treat with care.
10. Anytime, Anywhere

Volunteer

Volunteer for cleanups at the beach and in your community. You can get involved in protecting your watershed too!

Hope this helps

Use the de Broglie's Wave Equation to find the wavelength of an electron moving at 7.3 × 106 m/s. Please show your work. Note: h

ad-work [718]

Answer:

$\lambda=9.96\times 10^{-11}\ m$

Explanation:

The expression for the deBroglie wavelength is:

$\lambda=\frac {h}{m\times v}$

Where,

$\lambda$ is the deBroglie wavelength

h is Planck's constant having value $6.62607\times 10^{-34}\ Js$

m is the mass of electron having value $9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

v is the speed of electron.

Given that v = $7.3\times 10^6\ m/s$

Applying in the equation as:

$\lambda=\frac {h}{m\times v}$

$\lambda=\frac{6.62607\times 10^{-34}}{9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 7.3\times 10^6}\ m$

$\lambda=\frac{10^{-34}\times \:6.626}{10^{-25}\times \:66.503}\ m$

$\lambda=\frac{6.626}{10^9\times \:66.503}\ m$

$\lambda=9.96\times 10^{-11}\ m$

Zinc phosphate is used as a dental cement. A 50.00-mg sample is broken down into its constituent elements and gives 16.58 mg oxy

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Zn3P2O8

Explanation:

In this particular question, it is necessary to convert the respective masses to percentages. We convert to percentages by placing each mass over the total mass and multiplying by 100%. Since the total is 50mg, conversion to percentage can be done by multiplying the masses by 2 as 100/50 is 2

For Oxygen = 16.58 * 2 = 33.16%

For phosphorus = 8.02 * 2 = 16.04%

For zinc = 25.40 * 2 = 50.80%

We then proceed to divide these percentages by their respective atomic masses. The atomic mass of oxygen, phosphorus and zinc are 16, 31 and 65 respectively.

O = 33.16/16 = 2.0725

P = 16.04/31 = 0.5174

Zn = 50.80/65 = 0.7815

Now, we divide by the smallest value which is that of the phosphorus

O = 2.0725/0.5174 = 4

P = 0.5174/0.5174 = 1

Zn= 0.7815/0.5174 = 1.5

Now, we need to multiply through by 2. This yields: O = 8, P = 2 and Zn = 3

The empirical formula is thus: Zn3P2O8

Directions: Read the paragraph and identify the correct words that fit in the given sentences

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

1. Elements

2. one

3. properties

4. Chemical

5. metal

6. non-metal

7. metalloids

8. Compounds

9. one

10. more

11. components

12. chemical process

Explanation:

In the given paragraph a brief about the difference between element and compound is given.

Elements are made up of the same type of atoms and each element is made up of one atom, that is they cannot be broken down into any other substance. Each element is different from each other due to its properties, though some have the same physical properties but are different in chemical properties. Elements can be classified as metals such as iron and silver, non-metals such as oxygen and hydrogen, and metalloids such as boron and silicon.

Compounds are a combination of one or more elements such as water and salt. Compounds can be easily broken down into components through a chemical process.

Hence, the correct answer is:

1. Elements

2. one

3. properties

4. Chemical

5. metal

6. non-metal

7. metalloids

8. Compounds

9. one

10. more

11. components

12. chemical process
