Why do you think steeples and roofs might appear green, but a copper square does not?

Chemistry

Because the copper roofs, have been outside for a while and oxidization has occurred.
When metals become oxidized they rust, but when copper becomes oxidized, it turns greenish.
So copper roofs oxidize and turn green from being outside and a copper square doesn’t if it’s inside.

A worker is told her chances of being killed by a particular process are 1 in every 300 years. Should the worker be satisfied or
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

(a) Yes, he should be worried. The Fatal accident rate (FAR) is too high according to standars of the industry. This chemical plant has a FAR of 167, where in average chemical plants the FAR is about 4.

(b) FAR=167 and Death poer person per year = 0.0033 deaths/year.

(c) The expected number of fatalities on a average chemical plant are one in 12500 years.

Explanation:

Asumming 50 weeks of work, with 40 hours/week, we have 2000 work hours a year.

In 300 years we have 600,000 hours.

With these estimations, we have (1/600,000)=1.67*10^(-6) deaths/hour.

If we have 2000 work hours a year, it is expected 0.0033 deaths/year.

1.67*10^{-6} \frac{deaths}{hour}*2000 \frac{hours}{year}=0.0033 deaths/year

The Fatal accident rate (FAR) can be expressed as the expected number of fatalities in 100 millions hours (10^(8) hours).

In these case we have calculated 1.67*10^(-6) deaths/hour, so we can estimate FAR as:

FAR=1.67*10^{-6} \frac{deaths}{hour}*10^{8}  hours=1.67*10^{2} =167

A FAR of 167 is very high compared to the typical chemical plants (FAR=4), so the worker has reasons to be worried.

If we assume FAR=4, as in an average chemical plant, we expect

4\frac{deaths}{10^{8} hour} *2000\frac{hours}{year}=8*10^{-5} \frac{deaths}{year}

This is equivalent to say

\frac{1}{8*10^{-5} } \frac{years}{death}=1.25*10^{4} \frac{years}{death} =12500 \, \frac{years}{death}

The expected number of fatalities on a average chemical plant are one in 12500 years.

Assuming equal concentrations and complete dissociation, rank these aqueous solutions by their freezing points. K2SO4 NH4I CoCl3
katrin [286]
The substance that releases the greatest amount of ions will have the greatest attractive forces within its solution, resulting in a reduced freezing point.
K₂SO₄ yields 3 ions
NH₄I yields 2 ions
CoCl₃ yields 4 ions

Freezing points:
CoCl₃ < K₂SO₄ < NH₄I

Which change in the h+ ion concentration of an aqueous solution represents a decrease of one unit on the ph scale?
melisa1 [442]
The answer would be a tenfold increase<span>
The pH scale is calculated based on the concentration of H+ ion in the solution. The formula is using log10, so to decrease 1 unit from the scale it will be 10^1= 10 fold of increase. For 2 </span>unit, you will need 10^2= 100 fold of increase.
