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

shepuryov [24]

<u>Answer: </u>The correct statement is X is the effective nuclear charge, and it increases across a period.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given that:

X = number of protons − number of core electrons

Effective nuclear charge is defined as the actual nuclear charge (Z = number of protons) minus the screening effect caused by the electrons present between nucleus and valence electrons. These electrons are the core electrons.

The formula used for the calculation of effective nuclear charge given by Slater is:

Z^*=Z-\sigma

where,

Z^* = effective nuclear charge

Z = atomic number or actual nuclear charge or number of protons

\sigma = Screening constant

The effective nuclear charge increases as we go from left to right in a period because nuclear charge increases with no effective increase in screening constant.

Hence, the correct answer is X is the effective nuclear charge, and it increases across a period.

Based on the molecular formula, determine whether each compound is an alkane, alkene, or alkyne. (Assume that the hydrocarbons a
topjm [15]

Answer:

a. alkyne

b. alkane

c. alkyne

d. alkene

Explanation:

The general formula for each class of compound is given below

Alkane: C_nH_{2n+2}

Alkene: C_nH_{2n}

Alkyne: C_nH_{2n-2} (assuming single multiple bonds)

Now let us classify according to the above formulas:

a. It has two hydrogen atoms less than the two times of carbon atoms hence, it's alkyne

b. It has two hydrogen atoms more than the two times of carbon atoms hence, it's alkane

c. It has two hydrogen atoms less than the two times of carbon atoms hence, it's alkyne

d. It has hydrogen atoms two times of carbon atoms hence, it's alkene

Just like how heat moves from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature, molecules also tend to move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. This is called natural diffusion and is naturally happening to reach stability.
