False is your answer have a good day :)
Answer:
Explanation:
Oxygen gas and water must be present for iron to rust.
A region of the metal’s surface serves as the anode, where oxidation
occurs:
Fe(s) → Fe²⁺ (aq) + 2 e⁻
The electrons given up by iron reduce atmospheric oxygen to water at the cathode, which is another region of the same metal’s surface:
O₂ (g) + 4H⁺ (aq) + 4 e⁻ → 2 H₂O (l)
The overall redox reaction is:
2 Fe(s) + O₂(g) → 4H⁺(aq) + 2Fe²⁺ (aq) + 2 H₂O(l)
The Fe²⁺ ions formed at the anode are further oxidized by oxygen:
4 Fe²⁺ (aq) + O₂(g) 1 (4 + 2x) H₂O (l) → 2 Fe₂O₃ . xH₂O(s) + 8 H⁺(aq)
This hydrated form of iron(III) oxide is known as rust. The amount of water associated with the iron oxide varies, so we represent the formula as 2 Fe₂O₃ . xH₂O.
The high heat capacity of water prevents fish body temperatures from changing during the winter.
Answer:
Over 95% of incoming ultraviolet radiation is absorbed in :
A. The Stratosphere.
Explanation:
- Stratosphere is the second layer of the earth's atmosphere that lies next to the troposphere.
- This layer experiences very little turbulence of air and is very significant because of the presence of Ozone layer in it.
- The UV rays entering the Earth's atmosphere, photo dissociates ozone into O₂ and O. But these molecules quickly recombine to form ozone.Thus, stabilizing the concentration of ozone in the atmosphere.
- During this photo dissociation UV radiations loses much of its energy. Thus, 95% of incoming Ultraviolet radiation gets absorbed in the Stratosphere.
- Absorption of ozone UV radiation increases exponentially with the thickness of ozone layer.
Answer:
The main reason many people choose to avoid green action is that they think it will cost them more than their typical, environmentally harmful activities. Many times, it is true that environmental friendly products come with high up-front costs, but these costs almost always are made back over the lifetime of products. Many environmentally friendly products are far more efficient and cost-effective over their life-time than other, less clean options. For the most part, people are simply unaware of the economic benefits of going green. This lack of knowledge make consumers unwilling to make decisions that they perceive will cost them more money. No matter how dedicated to the environment a person is, if they believe it will lose them money, it is unlikely that they will ever do anything about it. While total spending on green products may be increasing in the United States, the market share remains dangerously low – typically making up only 3-5% of any given market.
