<span>Explanation: Oxygen is the more electro-negative of the atoms in the water molecule, so it tends to pull the 'shared' electron more to itself. Thus, the oxygen atom has a greater time-share of all electrons, and therefore the hydrogen atoms are more positive for a partial lack of electrons</span>

Answer:
Lake A: pH = 4.5; Lake B: pH = 7.5
Explanation:
I think that one because if you look on the acid vs base chart acid is from 0-6 and bases are from 8-14 and acids are less toxic, so you would infer that lake A has acid and lake B has bases.
i would have picked the ones closest to 7 ,which is neutral, but I'm not sure that a base can be lower then 7 so I didn't pick answer C
Answer:
c. Pyridostigmine binds to the acetylcholinesterase active site and prevents sarin from binding to and modifying the enzyme active site.
Explanation:
Sarin is a toxic compound which inhibits acetylcholinesterase enzyme. This enzyme degrades the neurotransmitter acetylcholine after the required muscle cell stimulation. In absence of its activity, acetylcholine is not degraded and the muscle cells are stimulated uncontrollably. The muscles are not able to relax which ultimately proves fatal for the victim.
Pyridostigmine is also an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor like Sarin. However its period of inhibition is short compared to organophosphorus inhibitors like sarin. It competes with sarin and replaces it in the active site of acetylcholinesterase. The enzyme is still inhibited but for a shorter time as compared to inhibition by Sarin. Hence after sometime, it becomes functional again and resumes its normal activity. Acetycholine starts getting degraded relaxing the muscles.
