Answer:

Endocrine disruptor

Explanation:

This means that the four substances, even they are used in different areas like gardening, plastics or pots, all of them change the endocrine system in humans because they imitate the natural hormones and the body stops to produce them or starts to produce more hormones than the body needs.

They are correlate with some illness like cancer, thyroid problems and infertility.

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Given elements are F, S, Ca, K

Assuming that the order of ionization energies is asked for first ionization energy

Ionization energy is defined as the minimum energy required to remove an electron from its valence shell

Among these elements K will have least ionization energy because it requires minimum energy to remove an electron form its outer most shell as after removing the valence electron it will gain octet configuration, therefore it wants to loose that valence electron

Among the given elements F has maximum ionization energy because of its small size and high nuclear charge and due to this maximum amount of energy is required to remove the valence electron

While comparing between Ca and S, S has maximum ionization energy because of its small size and high nuclear charge

∴ Order is K < Ca < S < F

What caused wind to blow
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Different atmospheric pressure. When there is a different atmospheric pressure, air moves from the higher pressure to the lower pressure area which results in what you call <u>WIND</u> but can result in various speeds and pressure.

Hope this helped and if it did, please give my answer a brainliest.

An aqueous solution 10 g of an optically pure substance diluted to 500ml with water and placed in a polarimeter tube 20 cm long.
Gennadij [26K]

Explanation:

Formula to calculate specific rotation is as follows.

        Specific rotation ([\alpha]) = \frac{\alpha}{c} \times l

where,    \alpha = observed rotation

                   c = concentration in g/ml

                   l = path length in dm

It is given that,

             \alpha = -6.16^{o}    

               c = \frac{10 g}{500 ml} = 0.02 g/ml

              l = 20 cm = 2 dm   (as 1 dm = 10 cm)

Therefore, calculate the specific rotation as follows.

      Specific rotation ([\alpha]) = \frac{\alpha}{c} \times l

                        = \frac{-6.16^{o}}{0.02 g/ml} \times 2 dm

                        = -616^{o}

Thus, we can conclude that the specific rotation of this compound is -616^{o}.
