1 where does drinking water come from? How might it become polluted or contaminated?

1 answer:

6 0

Answer: ABOUT 71% PERCENT OF EARTH'S SURFACE IS WATER COVERED,OUT OF THAT ONLY 2.5 %IS FRESH WATER.WE GETS DRINKING WATER FROM CLEAN RIVERS ,LAKES AND EVEN GROUND WATER. WE ALSO FILTERS THE SEA WATERS TOO.

WE HUMANS ARE THE ONE WHO ACTUALLY POLLUTE THE WATER BODIES, BECAUSE WE THROW DOMESTIC AND INDUSTRY WASTES IN THE WATER BODIES AND THE AQUATIC ANIMALS ARE DYING BECAUSE OF THIS ACT. IF WE SAVE THE WATER BODIES THEN THERE WOULD NO BE ANY POLLUTION etc

Enough of a monoprotic weak acid is dissolved in water to produce a 0.0144 0.0144 M solution. The pH of the resulting solution i

alexdok [17]

Answer:

The value of dissociation constant of the monoprotic acid is $1.099\times 10^{-3}$ .

Explanation:

The pH of the solution = 2.46

$pH=-\log[H^+]$

$2.46=-\log[H^+]$

$[H^+]=0.003467 M$

$HA\rightleftharpoons H^++A^-$

Initially

0.0144 0 0

At equilibrium

(0.0144-x) x x

The expression if an dissociation constant is given by :

$K_a=\frac{[A^-][H^+]}{[HA]}$

$K_a=\frac{x\times x}{(0.0144-x)}$

$x=[H^+]=0.003467 M$

$K_a=\frac{0.003467 \times 0.003467 }{(0.0144-0.003467 )}$

$K_a=1.099\times 10^{-3}$

The value of dissociation constant of the monoprotic acid is $1.099\times 10^{-3}$ .

In a reaction, chlorine accepts an electron to form Cl-. What is true about the atomic size of the chlorine ion?

Lynna [10]

Answer is: The atomic size of the chlorine ion is larger than the size of the chlorine atom.

Covalent radii of chlorine atom (Cl) is 0.099 nm and ionic radii of chlorine anion (Cl⁻) is 0.181 nm.

Difference between an chlorine atom and chlorine anion is the number of electrons that surround the nucleus.

Chlorine atom has 17 electrons and chlorine anion has 18 electrons.

Since the new oceanic crust is created at the mid-ocean ridges, then the Earth is getting bigger.

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

It is true that new crust is being created at the mid-oceanic ridges, but this does not make the Earth any bigger despite the the growth of oceanic crusts in these regions.

The reason that Earth does not get bigger is because the same plates that are being created at the divergent plate boundaries are recycled into the mantle at the subduction zones. Because of this, the surface area of the Earth remains the same.
