5 human activities that cause pollution

Answers

Answer 1

Explanation:

1-burning fossil fuels.

Sulfur dioxide released by the burning of fossil fuels like coal, petroleum is the major cause of air pollution.

Gases emitted from vehicles including trucks, jeeps, cars, trains, aeroplanes cause an immense amount of pollution.

2-Agricultural activities

Use of insecticides, pesticides and fertilizers in agricultural activities release harmful chemicals into the air and can also cause water pollution.

3-Exhaust from factories and industries

Manufacturing industries release a large amount of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, organic compounds, and chemicals into the air thereby depleting the quality of air.

Petroleum refineries release hydrocarbons and various other chemicals that cause air pollution.

4-Mining operations:

Mining is a process wherein minerals below the earth are extracted.

During this process dust and chemicals are released in the air causing massive air pollution.

Answers

Answer:

water pulling a compound apart and then surrounding the broken pieces/ions (this is what dissolving is)

Explanation:

As we know, water is a polar solvent. What this means is that water can effectively interact with ions in an ionic substance owing to its large dipole moment.

Now, when an ionic substance is dissolved in water, the positive end in water pulls hard on the negative ion of the ionic substance while the negative end in water pulls hard on the positive ion of the ionic substance.

The ionic substance is eventually pulled apart and surrounded by water molecules. This is how an ionic substance is dissolved in water.

Answers

Answer: [tex]H_2O_2\rightarrow H_2+O_2[/tex]

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The balanced chemical equation for showing hydrogen peroxide decomposing into hydrogen and oxygen is:

How many atoms of silicon are in 0.75 mol of disilicon hexahydride, Si2H6? A.4.5x 1023 atoms B.6.02 x 1023 atoms C.8.0 x 1023 atoms D.9.0x1023 atoms

Answers

Answer:

D. 9.0x10²³ atoms

Explanation:

First we use Avogadro's number to calculate how many molecules of Si₂H₆ are there in 0.75 mol:

0.75 mol * 6.023x10²³ molecules/mol = 4.52x10²³ molecules

There are 2 Si atoms in one Si₂H₆ molecule, that means that in 4.52x10²³ Si₂H₆ molecules there will be:

2 * 4.52x10²³ = 9.03x10²³ Si atoms

Thus the answer is option D.

MnO4- + Br- = MnO2 + BrO3- (Acidic Solution )

Answers

Br- + 2MnO4- + 2H+ → BrO3- + 2MnO2 + H2O

Further explanation

Given

MnO4- + Br- = MnO2 + BrO3-

Required

The half-reaction

Solution

In acidic conditions :

1. Add the coefficient

2. Equalization O atoms (add H₂O) on the O-deficient side.  

3. Equalization H atoms (add H⁺ ) on the H -deficient side.  .  

4. Equalization of charge (add electrons (e) )

5. Equalizing the number of electrons and then adding the two half -reactions together

Oxidation : Br- → BrO3-  

Reduction : MnO4- → MnO2

Equalization O atoms

Br- + 3H2O → BrO3-  

MnO4- → MnO2 + 2H2O

Equalization H atoms

Br- + 3H2O → BrO3- + 6H+  

MnO4- + 4H+ → MnO2 + 2H2O

Equalization of charge

Br- + 3H2O → BrO3- + 6H+ + 6e-         x1

MnO4- + 4H+ + 3e- → MnO2 + 2H2O x2

Equalizing the number of electrons and then adding the two half -reactions together

Br- + 3H2O → BrO3- + 6H+ + 6e-  

2MnO4- + 8H+ + 6e- → 2MnO2 + 4H2O

Br- + 2MnO4- + 3H2O + 8H+ + 6e- → BrO3- + 2MnO2 + 6H+ + 4H2O + 6e-

Br- + 2MnO4- + 2H+ → BrO3- + 2MnO2 + H2O

How many moles are in 6.38x10^22 molecules/atoms of CO2?

Answers

Answer:

0.106 moles

Explanation:

To solve this problem we will need to use Avogadro's number, it is the number of molecules (or atoms) in one mol.

We convert molecules into moles using that number:

6.38x10²² molecules ÷ 6.023x10²³ molecules/mol = 0.106 moles

There are 0.106 moles in 6.38x10²² molecules of CO₂.

37.9 grams of an unknown substance undergoes a temperature increase of
25.0*C after absorbing 969 J. What is the specific heat of the substance?

Answers

Answer:

1.023 J / g °C

Explanation:

m = 37.9 grams

ΔT = 25.0*C

H = 969 J

c = ?

The equation relating these equation is;

H = mcΔT

making c subject of formulae;

c = H / mΔT

c = 969 J / (37.9 g * 25.0*C)

Upon solving;

c = 1.023 J / g °C

How many liters of solution would it take to make a 0.250 M solution when you have 3.52 moles of solute?

Answers

Answer:

The volume of solution in liters required to make a 0.250 M solution from 3.52 moles of solute is 14.08 liters of solution

Explanation:

The question relates to the definition of the concentration of a solution which is the number of moles per liter (1 liter = 1 dm³) of solution

Therefore we have;

The concentration of the intended solution = 0.250 M

Therefore, the number of moles per liter of the required resolution = 0.250 moles

Therefore, the concentration of the required solution = 0.250 moles/liter

The volume in liters of the required solution that will have 3.52 moles of the solute is given as follows;

The required volume of solution = The number of moles of the solute/(The concentration of the solution)

∴ The required volume of solution = 3.52 moles/(0.250 moles/liter) = 14.08 liters

The required volume of solution to make a 0.250 M solution from 3.52 moles of solute = 14.08 liters.

Therefore the number of liters required to make a 0.250 M solution from 3.52 moles of solute = 14.08 liters.
