“Racial justice is climate justice. That means police reform is climate policy.” Emily Atkin, a widely read climate journalist, wrote those words last week in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd.

Atkin is not alone in making a direct connection between climate change and racism. Numerous environmental leaders and prominent climate activists have issued statements condemning police violence and expressing solidarity with racial justice organizations.

And for some notable climate movement figures, the relationship between anti-racism and climate activism extends much further than pro forma solidarity.

Writing in The New Yorker, global climate leader Bill McKibben entitled his latest article, “Racism, Police Violence, and the Climate Are Not Separate Issues.” And a recent piece by Eric Holthaus, a highly regarded meteorologist who writes about climate change, proclaimed, “The climate crisis is racist. The answer is anti-racism.”

How to calculate the frequency of an ion

sergij07 [2.7K]

solution:

You need to find the frequency, and they have already given you the wavelength. And since you already know the speed of light, you can use formula (2) to answer this problem. Remember to convert the nano meters to meters because the speed of light is in meters. $(1 nm = 1.0 x 10^{-9} m)$

$v=c\lambda \\v= (3.00 \times 10^8 m/s)/(6.9\times 10^-7 m) \\v = 4.35 \times 10^{14} s^{-1}$

Draw the structures of two stereoisomeric alkenes that would give 3-hexanol as the only major product of hydroboration

larisa [96]

Answer:

Cis- and trans-3-hexene are symmetric hydrocarons that give only one major product i.e 3-hexanol upon hydroboration.

Explanation:

During hydroboration of 3-hexene, borane (BH3) is added to the double bond of hexene, that transfers the hydrogen atoms to that carbon which becomes is bonded to the boron. The process of hydroboration is created in two steps that leads to the formation of 3-hexanol and boric acid. (please see figure)

Now, the two stereoisomers, Cis- and trans-3-hexene both will give off the 3-hexanol upon hydroboration and the structure of these are illustrated in the figure.

Suppose a student prepares a buffer that is intended to be pH 7.20. However, when the student tests its pH using a pH probe, the

MAXImum [283]

A calibration error could lead to this result, if the pH probe was not properly calibrated before being used, the measured value of pH would be different from the actual pH value. Meaning in this case the student correctly prepared the buffer.
While measuring the mass of the buffer's acid component (for example NaH₂PO₄), the student did not properly set the balance to zero before proceding to weigh the compound, causing the mass readings to be underestimated. As a result, the student weighed more acid than required, eventually leading to a decreased pH value.

In one to two sentences, describe how the ionic compound, licl would dissolve in the polar solvent, ch3coch3.

timofeeve [1]

Lithium Chloride is a polar compound. Lithium gives off a +1 charge and chlorine gives off a -1 charge. The chlorine adopts lithium’s extra electron and they are both put to the 8 electron goal. Because they are polar, however, a polar solvent would pull them apart further. By isolating each element in + and - concentrations.
