Some of the negative consequences of cobalt mining are pollution and child trafficking.

<h3>Effects of cobalt mining</h3>

Many young children are made to work in mines generally either due to continued struggle for survival or forced into it by child traffickers.

Apart from that, cobalt mining causes pollution in the environment. Inhalation of dust containing cobalt causes a host of health issues such as lung cancer and damage to human skin.

Other effects include soil degradation and pollution, water pollution due to mine run-offs, etc.

Basic molecules contain more ...
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Option C. hydroxide ions (OH-).

Explanation:

A base is a substance which dissolves in water to produce hydroxide ion (OH-) as the only negative ion. It therefore means that a base contains more hydroxide ions (OH-).

Assume that coal can be represented by the chemical formula C135H96O9NS. If 4.0 tons of coal is burned, what mass of nitrogen is
Schach [20]

Answer:

0.02 tons of NO produced when 4 tons of coal is burned

Explanation:

From the given,

Chemical formula of coal =  C_{134}H_{96}O_{9}NS

Molecular mass of coal = (134\times12)+(9\times1)+(9\times16)+14+32\,=1906.1gm

Let’s calculate the mass of nitrogen in coal

Percentage\,weight\,of\,nitrogen=\frac{Mass\,of\,nitrogen}{Molecular\,mass\,of coal}

Percentage\,weight/,of/,nitrogen=\frac{14}{1906.1}=0.73%

Amount of coal burnt = 4tons

Amount of NO produced by burning 4tons = 4\,tons\,of\,coal\times \frac{0.73tons}{100\,tons\,of\,coal}=0.0292\,tons

This nitrogen is converted into NO by reacting with atmospheric oxygen.

An important reaction that takes place in a blast furnace during the production of iron is the formation of iron metal and CO2 f
ladessa [460]

Answer: Mass of Fe_2O_3 required to form 930 kg of iron is 1328 kg

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}      .....(1)

For iron:

Given mass of iron = 930 kg = 930000 g  (1kg=1000g)

Molar mass of iron = 56 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of iron}=\frac{930000g}{56g/mol}=16607mol

The chemical equation for the  production of iron  follows:

Fe_2O_3+3CO\rightarrow 2Fe+3CO_2

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of iron are  produced by =  1 mole of Fe_2O_3

So, 16607 moles of iron will be produced by = \frac{1}{2}\times 16607=8303moles of Fe_2O_3

Now, calculating the mass of Fe_2O_3 from equation 1, we get:

Mass of Fe_2O_3 = moles\times {\text {molar mass}}=8303\times 160=1328480g=1328kg

Thus mass of Fe_2O_3 required to form 930 kg of iron is 1328 kg
