5 0

The reasons why DDT is classified as a persistent organic pollutant are;

  • DDT can be used to control diseases, such as malaria and typhus, that are spread by insects.
  • DDT is detected in food worldwide and the general human population is most commonly exposed to the toxin through food.

Persistent Organic Pollutants  can be regarded as toxic substances which are made up of organic chemical compounds.

These are industrial chemicals such as;

  • PCBs
  • pesticides like DDT.

DDT is classified as a persistent organic pollutant because of it's usefulness in control diseases and it is been found in food stuff across the globe.

How is the size of a planet related to the thickness of its atmosphere
adoni [48]

Mainly, the mass of a planet doesn't matter, considering many planets are made up of gas, and how in different situations, atmospheres can be destroyed (The Sunburnt off Mercury's Atmosphere). However, in some cases, the planet can be in a good situation on the galactic map and have great conditions for an atmosphere, such as Earth. In which case, the mass of an object can attract a smaller object, causing gravity. Therefore, the bigger the mass of a planet when in right and specific conditions, the more atmosphere it can attract, if there is any floating by the planet.

If it is bigger it will have more gravitational influence and therefore gather more gases.

Calculate the mass of hydrogen in 57. 010 grams of ammonium hydrogen phosphate.
erastovalidia [21]

The mass of hydrogen in 57.010 g ammonium hydrogen phosphate, (NH₄)H₂PO₄ is 2.97 g  

<h3>Determination of mass of 1 mole of (NH₄)H₂PO₄ </h3>

1 mole of (NH₄)H₂PO₄ = 14 + (4×1) + (2×1) + 31 + (16×4) = 115 g

<h3>Determination of the mass of H in 1 mole of (NH₄)H₂PO₄ </h3>

Mass of H = 6H = 6 × 1 = 6 g

<h3>Determination of the mass of H in 57.010 g of (NH₄)H₂PO₄ </h3>

115 g of (NH₄)H₂PO₄ contains 6 g of H.

Therefore,

57.010 g of (NH₄)H₂PO₄ will contain = (57.010 × 6) / 115 = 2.97 g of H

Thus, 2.97 g of Hydrogen, H is present in 57.010 g of (NH₄)H₂PO₄
