It takes plastic approximately 450 years to decompose in the ocean.

The polymers in plastic (despite being derived from resources that can be found in nature like cellulose, salts, and natural gases,) are not naturally occurring substances, so there are no naturally occurring organisms with diets or abilities to consume and break down plastic. Because of this, it can take hundreds of years for plastic to fully decompose. Plastic production has been booming since the 1950s, so the plastic that was produced then is still around today.

A photon of light possesses 5 x 10^-19 J of energy. Calculate its frequency
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The frequency of photon is 0.75×10¹⁵ s⁻¹.

Explanation:

Given data:

Energy of photon = 5×10⁻¹⁹ J

Frequency of photon = ?

Solution:

Formula;

E = hf

h = planck's constant = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js

5×10⁻¹⁹ J =  6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js ×f

f =  5×10⁻¹⁹ J / 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js

f = 0.75×10¹⁵ s⁻¹

The frequency of photon is 0.75×10¹⁵ s⁻¹.

The table shows the number of charged subatomic particles in an ion.
Anarel [89]

Answer:

The ion will repel the substance because it has lost two electrons.

Explanation:

An ion is a charged specie. We can see from the question that the ion has twelve positive and ten negative particles.

If there are more positive particles than negative particles, then the ion is positively charged.

If the ion is positively charged, it will repel another positively charged particle because like charges repel while opposite charges attract.
