People mine zinc metal for use as an anticorrosive, skin protectant, and in electrical components. Zinc mining involves using ch

emicals to
remove the zinc from larger rocks. Demand for zinc increased over the past 35 years.
If the management of zinc mines stays the same, how will the increased demand for zinc most likely impact the environment?
O A. Global temperatures will rise because mining releases heat from Earth's Interior.
O B. Biodiversity will increase because mining speeds the release of Important minerals from rocks.
O C. The acidity of the surrounding soil and water will change because of the discharge of mine waste.
O D. Sea level will decrease substantially because the mining process requires substantial amounts of water

Option C.

Since chemicals are used in the mining of zinc, a rise in mining activity would lead to more chemicals being used, which would impact the soil and water around the mines.

7. An element's most stable ion forms an ionic compound with chlorine having the formula XCl2. If the ion of element X has a mas
Serhud [2]

Answer:

The element is strontium and the number of neutrons it have is 51.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the ionic compound is,  

XCl₂ ⇔ X₂⁺ + 2Cl⁻

X2+ is the ion of the mentioned element

As mentioned in the given question, the number of electrons of the element X is 36 and as seen from the reaction the charge present on the ion is +2. Now the atomic number will be,  

No. of electrons = atomic number - charge

36 = atomic number - 2

Atomic number = 38

Based on the periodic table, the atomic number 38 is for strontium element, and the sign of strontium is Sr. Hence, the element X is Sr.  

Now based on the given information, the mass number of the element is 89. Now the no. of neutrons will be,  

No. of neutrons = mass number - atomic number

= 89 - 38

= 51 neutrons.

Which change is most likely to occur when a molecule of H2 and a molecule of I2 collide with proper orientation and sufficient e
bazaltina [42]
The collision of the molecules between the hydrogen molecule or H2, and an iodine molecule or I2, provided there would be a sufficient energy is that the system would eventually undergo a chemical change wherein a new chemical compound would be formed from these two molecules.

An iron bar of mass 841 g cools from 84°C to 7°C. Calculate the heat released (in kilojoules) by the metal.
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

28.75211 kj

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of iron bar = 841 g

Initial temperature = 84°C

Final temperature = 7°C

Heat released = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

specific heat capacity of iron is 0.444 j/g.°C

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 7°C - 84°C

ΔT = -77°C

By putting values,

Q = 841 g × 0.444 j/g.°C × -77°C

Q = 28752.11 j

In Kj:

28752.11 j × 1 kJ / 1000 J

28.75211 kj

Calculate the approximate number of atoms in a bacterium, assuming the average mass of an atom is ten times the mass of a hydrog
mezya [45]

Answer: -

The approximate number of atoms in a bacterium is 10¹¹

Explanation: -

We are given the mass of a bacterium is 10⁻¹⁵ kg.

We are told that the mass of a hydrogen atom is 10⁻²⁷ kg.

Finally we learn that the average mass of an atom of the bacterium is ten times the mass of a hydrogen atom.

Mass of an atom of bacterium = 10 x mass of hydrogen atom

                                                   = 10 x 10⁻²⁷ kg.

                                                   = 10⁻²⁶ kg.

Thus the number of atoms in a bacterium = \frac{Total mass}{mass of 1 bacterium atom}

                                                                      = \frac{10-15 kg}{10-26 kg}

                                                                      = 10¹¹
