Answer:

yes it is a danger.Copper doesn't break down in the environment, leading to its accumulation in plants and animals. Absorption of some copper into the body is essential for human health. Acute industrial exposure to copper fumes, dusts or mists can result in chronic copper poisoning.Copper is a mineral and an element essential to our everyday lives. It is a major industrial metal because of its high ductility, malleability, thermal and electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion. It is an essential nutrient in our daily diet.

NeTakaya

this question is in reference to the formation and naming of ionic compounds. Specifically, they want you to give examples of three ionic compounds with a metal to nonmetal ratio of 2 to 1. That means we need to have two metal atoms to metal ions, which are typically cat ions for every one non metal atom or an ion. In order for this to occur, we need to have the metal with half the charge of the nonmetal or the non metal with double the charge of the metal. So an example might be something like sodium sulfide. Sodium has one valence electron. It can give up sulfur needs to valence electrons in order to achieve an octet. So we need to. Sodium seems to give up one electron each to total so that sulfide can achieve an octet. Another one might be potassium oxide. Similar scenario. We've got potassium giving up one valence electron oxygen requiring too. So we need to potassium to supply the to valence electrons that oxygen needs to achieve an octet and lithium. Also in Group one A and alkali metal wants to give up just one valence electron to achieve an octet well to achieve, I guess a duet to be more like helium, and so it gives up one. If we have two of them, then we can provide the to valence electrons that sulfur needs. So this is sodium sulfide, potassium oxide and lithium sulfide. Remember when we name Ionic compounds? We named the Cat Ion with the name of the element and the anti on with the name of the Element, but with the ending oven of ID, a suffix of ID because each one of the cat ions donated their valence electrons to the anti on so the an ion could achieve an octet. Then all of the's will have an octet of valence electrons. Sulfur had six sodium had one. There were two of them, so we have a total of eight.

anastassius [24]
Most earthquakes occur along the edge of the oceanic and continental plates. The earth's crust (the outer layer of the planet) is made up of several pieces, called plates. The plates under the oceans are called oceanic plates and the rest are continental plates. The plates are moved around by the motion of a deeper part of the earth (the mantle) that lies underneath the crust. These plates are always bumping into each other, pulling away from each other, or past each other. The plates usually move at about the same speed that your fingernails grow. Earthquakes usually occur where two plates are running into each other or sliding past each other.

Explain radiation zone and convection zone.
Rufina [12.5K]

All the solar energy is generated in the core by nuclear fusion. Around the core there is the radiative zone. ... It extends from a depth of 200,000 km up to the visible surface of the Sun. Energy is transported by convection in this region. The surface of the convection zone is where light (photons) is created.

1. A sample of gas has an initial volume of 25 L and an initial pressure of 123.5 kPa. If the pressure changes to
sveta [45]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{17.mL}}

Explanation:

The temperature and amount of gas are constant, so we can use Boyle’s Law.

p_{1}V_{1} = p_{2}V_{2}

Data:

\begin{array}{rcrrcl}p_{1}& =& \text{123.5 kPa}\qquad & V_{1} &= & \text{25 L} \\p_{2}& =& \text{179.9 kPa}\qquad & V_{2} &= & ?\\\end{array}

Calculations:  

\begin{array}{rcl}123.5 \times 25 & =& 179.9V_{2}\\3088 & = & 179.9V_{2}\\V_{2} & = &\dfrac{3088}{179.9}\\\\& = &\textbf{17 L}\\\end{array}\\\text{The new volume of the gas is } \large \boxed{\textbf{17 L}}
