Explanation:
A chemical reaction is defined as the reaction in which bonds between the reactants either break or form which leads to the formation of a new substance.
For example, 
So, when we drop a sodium metal into water then it produces a frizzing sound which shows the metal is reacting with water.
We know that when two aqueous solutions chemically react with each other then it may lead to the formation of an insoluble substance which is known as precipitate.
This means that formation of a precipitate is also a chemical reaction.
Thus, we can conclude that following are the statements which show evidence for a chemical reaction.
- Dropping sodium metal into water produces fizzing.
- Mixing two aqueous solutions produces a precipitate.
Answer:
6 x 10⁵ kg Hg
Explanation:
The mass of mercury in the entire lake is found by multiplying the concentration of the mercury by the volume of the lake.
The volume of the lake is calculated in cubic feet:
V = (SA)x(depth) = (100mi²)(5280ft/mi)² x (20ft) = 5.57568 x 10¹⁰ ft³
Cubic feet are then converted to mL (1cm³=1mL)
(5.57568 x 10¹⁰ ft³) x (12in/ft)³ x (2.54cm/in)³ = 1.578856752 x 10¹⁵ mL
The mass of mercury is then found:
m = CV = (0.4μg/mL)(1g/10⁶μg)(1kg/1000g) x (1.578856752 x 10¹⁵ mL) = 6 x 10⁵ kg Hg
