Example 1: FOREST FIRES
September 24, 2015 - Forest Fire in Indonesia continue to cause smog and haze (Atmosphere) across the region, with air pollutants reaching hazardous levels overnight in Singapore.
The poor air quality shift in wind direction transporting smoke and haze from land and forest (Biosphere) fires in South Sumatra, Indonesia. Their District continues to lead in the number of active fire alerts, with 423 hotspots (Lithosphere) in the last week.
The particulate matter in the air falls out, smothering plants, enriching the soil and thereby moving towards seas, rivers (Hydrosphere) and other water forms that can endangered human's health.
Example 2: DROUGHT
April 8, 2016- Swathes of corn stand withered on the parched rolling hills near the farming town in the Southern Philippines, while shallow cracks scar were once fertile rice paddies. (Biosphere)
El Nino is wreaking havoc in agriculture-rich Cotabato province.
That the villagers are in difficult situation of nothing else to eat. After a lot of incident happened, one of the villagers complained back pain and headache after the rough sleeping of several days.
Unfortunately, he died due to heat stroke of the recent changes in temperature due to Global Warming. (Atmosphere) The animals have nothing to feed the fields are dry making the soil (Geosphere / Lithosphere) less fertile for plants.
The farmers experienced scarce of water (Hydrosphere), crop failures and starving, land drying livestock as well as shortage of potable water.
The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows
2RbNO₃ --> 2RbNO₂ + O₂
stoichiometry of RbNO₃ to O₂ is 2:1
number of moles of RbNO₃ decomposed - 5.0 mol
when 2 mol of RbNO₃ decomposes, 1 mol of O₂ is formed
therefore when 5.0 mol of RbNO₃ decomposes - 5.0 / 2 = 2.5 mol of O₂
2.5 mol of O₂ is formed
Examples of good electrical conductors are copper, silver, gold and aluminum
Answer:
Explanation: A molecular compound is usually composed of two or more nonmetal elements. Molecular compounds are named with the first element first and then the second element by using the stem of the element name plus the suffix -ide. Numerical prefixes are used to specify the number of atoms in a molecule
Answer:
[H⁺] = 1.8 ×10⁻⁴ mol/L
Explanation:
Given data:
pH of HNO₃ = 3.75
[H⁺] = ?
Solution:
Formula:
pH = -log [H⁺]
Now we will put the values.
3.75 = -log [H⁺]
[H⁺] = 10⁻³°⁷⁵
[H⁺] = 1.8 ×10⁻⁴ mol/L
