Answer:

Good answer below, just adding on

Explanation:

Runoff of chemical products, animal waste, and especially human waste products such as different types of trash like scrap metals and plastic greatly increase water pollution. Additionally, oil leaks and spills can also lead to severe water pollution. As a general statement I'd say that human activities that are not monitored and are either directly dumped into water ways or are caught in run off cause water pollution.

Answer:

Every time it rains, fertilizers, pesticides, and animal waste from farms and livestock operations wash nutrients and pathogens—such bacteria and viruses—into our waterways.

Explanation:

but thank fully there is many people out there who are helping to clean the ocean and plus one more thing going to the beach and not cleaning after your self causes water pollution

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[RxN - Unbalanced] Mg (s) + HCl (aq) → MgCl (aq) + H₂ (g)

↓

[RxN - Balanced] 2Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq) → 2MgCl (aq) + H₂ (g)

[Given] 3.25 mol Mg

[Solve] x g HCl

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[RxN] 2 mol Mg → 2 mol HCl

[PT] Molar Mass of H - 1.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of Cl - 35.45 g/mol

Molar Mass of HCl - 1.01 + 35.45 = 36.46 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Stoich</u>

[S - DA] Set up: $\displaystyle 3.25 \ mol \ Mg(\frac{2 \ mol \ HCl}{2 \ mol \ Mg})(\frac{36.46 \ g \ HCl}{1 \ mol \ HCl})$
[S - DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]: $\displaystyle 127.61 \ g \ HCl$

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

127.61 g HCl ≈ 128 g HCl

Which pair of atoms will MOST likely form a covalent bond?

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

An atom with 1 valence electron and an atom with 7 valence electrons

Explanation:

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive.

the number of valance electrons of oxygen are six and hydrogen is one that's why two hydrogen atoms are attached with one oxygen atom and complete the octet.

Atomic size of inert gases do not affect you inertness why

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Because your body has built-in resistance to certain gases, no matter the size of the gas cloud.

That is why we are able to stay non-inert to these types of gases, like Carbon dioxide.

oils will dissolve best in solvents that are? A. polar B. nonpolar C. either polar or nonpolar D. neither polar nor nonpolar

Genrish500 [490]

The answer is <span>B. nonpolar.

Polar molecules dissolve best in polar solvents while nonpolar molecules dissolve best in nonpolar solvents. </span>Oils are nonpolar. So, they will dissolve best in nonpolar solvents. If you put oil in some polar solvent, such as water, it will hardly dissolve.
