The answer is <span>non-biodegradable and subject to bioaccumulation and/or bioamplification.
DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) is persistent, non-degradable insecticide and organic pollutant readily accumulated to soils and consequently affects organisms.
DDE (</span><span>dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene) is non-degradable pesticide toxic to birds at the first place.
PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) are non-degradable organic compounds very toxic to the environment.
PBDEs (polybrominated diphenyl ethers) are non-degradable compounds very toxic to environment, even able to affect brains of animals in the development period.</span>
Answer: b. The waste generated is hazardous and must be disposed of.
c. Nuclear material can be spilled into the ocean if reactors are near the coast.
d. A large amount of cold water is generated, which must be stored somewhere.
Explanation:
The main environmental costs for produced during the nuclear power plant consists of procurement of fuel and the thermal load is also produced with cold water discharge in the sea. This can contaminate the sea, hence, must be stored somewhere. The nuclear waste consists of radioactive substances which are hazardous for the environment. The nuclear based electricity does not produce carbon dioxide.
Answer:
Explanation:
In this problem, the temperature stays constant. The volume and pressure change, so we use Boyle's Law. This states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to the volume. The formula is:
Now we can substitute any known values into the formula.
Originally, the gas has a volume of 25.0 liters and a pressure of 2.05 atmospheres.
The volume is decreased to 14.5 liters, but the pressure is unknown.
Since we are solving for the new pressure, or P₂, we must isolate the variable. It is being multiplied by 14.5 liters and the inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 14.5 L .
The units of liters cancel.
The original values of volume and pressure have 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same.
For the number we found, that is the hundredth place.
The 4 in the thousandth place (in bold above) tells us to leave the 3 in the hundredth place.
The new pressure is approximately <u>3.53 atmospheres.</u>
First one is yes second one is no :)
