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
Answer:
In conduction, heat transfer takes place between objects by direct contact. In convection, the heat transfer takes within the fluid. In radiation, heat transfer occurs through electromagnetic waves without involving particles. The heat transfer takes place due to the difference in temperature.
Buoyancy is considered a physical property. It is a type of physical property because it is related to the density and weight of the item, which are both physical.
Answer:
reduced
Explanation:
To win the metallic product from the oxide, it demands that the metal be reduced.
During reduction a metal will:
- gain electrons.
- there would be removal of oxygen from the specie
- there would be decrease in oxidation number of the atom
- decrease in the number of electronegative atom surrounding the element.
The specie that is reduced will become the oxidant and reducing agent in the chemical reaction.
