Water quality tests show the presence of a single heavy metal in the drinking water pulled from a local river. Residents are suf

fering from numerous stomach ailments and are showing signs of long-term kidney damage. The residents of the next town, down river from the first town, seem to be unaffected. Water quality tests in the river by the second town show two types of heavy metals at acceptable legal limits in the water. One of the metals is the same as the one in the first town. What can scientists infer about the possible reason for the illnesses appearing in the first town but not the second?
One metal causes an acute effect, compared to the other.
One metal causes a chronic effect, compared to the other.
The heavy metals have a synergistic relationship when combined.
The heavy metals have an antagonistic relationship when combined.

Answer:

One metal causes a chronic effect, compared to the other

Explanation:

because the question only said ONE is the same, didn't they? so that would mean that not all the metals are the same for both towns

A mixture of 0.10 mol of NO, 0.050 mol of H2, and 0.10 mol of H2O is placed in a 1.0-L vessel at 300 K. The following equilibriu
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

[H2] =    0.012 M

[N2] =    0.019 M

[H2O] =  0.057 M

Explanation:

The strategy here is to account for the species at equilibrium given that the concentration of [NO]=0.062M at equilibrium is known and the quantities initially present and its stoichiometry.

                  2NO(g)         +    2H2(g)    ⇒        N2(g)      +         2H2O(g)

i  mol            0.10                   0.050                                             0.10

c mol            -0.038                -0.038                +0019                +0.038                                                

e mol            0.062                 0.012                  00.019               0.057

Since the volume of the vessel is 1.0 L, the concentrations in molarity are:

[NO] =   0.062 M

[H2] =    0.012 M

[N2] =    0.019 M

[H2O] =  0.057 M

Explain why the equator has a warmer climate than the area near either the North or South pole. Be sure to thoroughly explain yo
KatRina [158]

Il fait plus chaud à l'équateur et plus froid aux pôles car : 1°) les rayons du Soleil sont plus concentrés au niveau de l'équateur et plus diffus au niveau des pôles ; 2°) l'épaisseur d'air composant l'atmosphère, traversée par les rayons du Soleil est plus importante aux pôles qu'à l'équateur.

Describe the properties of alkali metals. Based on their electronic arrangement, explain whether they exist alone in nature.
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

- They are highly reactive metals

- They have low electro negativity

- They have low ionization energy

- They don't exist alone in nature

- They have low densities

Explanation:

Alkali metals are the elements in group 1 of the periodic table. They include Sodium, Lithium, Potassium e.t.c.

Due to the fact they have one atom in their outermost shell, they are very unstable because they easily react with other elements and are therefore don't exist alone in nature but combined with other elements for this same reason.

Since alkali metals don't easily attract other elements due to it's lone pair in the outer most shell, it can be said to have low electro negativity.

Also, they don't need energy to discharge their electrons since they are highly reactive due to their lone pair in the outermost shell and so we say they have low ionization energy.

Due to this reason, they also have low densities.

Formed when an amine is combined with a carboxyl group
alekssr [168]
Hello.

The answer is C.Amine

When an amine is combined (reacted) with a carboxyl group, an AMIDE + water is formed, and if you carry on heating under a vacuum, an imidazoline is formed.
