Answer: elevation
, The boundaries of a watershed are determined by topography, which is the shape or the physical features of the land's surface. If the highest points of land surrounding a river were connected (like “connect-the-dots”), this line would form the watershed boundary.
1. Answer;
Equation;
-NaCl(aq) → Na{+}(aq) + Cl{-}(aq)
Explanation;
-The polar property of water allows ionic compounds such as sodium chloride to dissolve in water. (sodium chloride is an ionic compound).
-Sodium chloride dissociates in water into sodium ions and chloride ions as shown by the equation. Water molecules surrounds the negatively charged chloride ions and positive sodium ions and pulls them away into solution.
2. Answer;
Equation;
Fe(ClO4)3(aq) → Fe 3+(aq) + 3ClO4 - (aq)
Explanation;
Iron (iii) perchlorate (Fe(ClO4)3 dissociates in water into iron (iii) ion and perchlorate ion. Iron (iii) ion is positively charged while the perchlorate ion is negatively charged, they are pulled apart by the polar water molecules, a process called dissociation.

The free energy change(Gibbs free energy-ΔG)=-8.698 kJ/mol
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Ratio of the concentrations of the products to the concentrations of the reactants is 22.3
Temperature = 37 C = 310 K
ΔG°=-16.7 kJ/mol
Required
the free energy change
Solution
Ratio of the concentration : equilbrium constant = K = 22.3
We can use Gibbs free energy :
ΔG = ΔG°+ RT ln K
R=8.314 .10⁻³ kJ/mol K
A scientist needs to check several parameters before coming
to a conclusion about the amount of water pollution. The scientists needs to
check the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water, temperature of the water,
the clarity of the water, the PH level of the water and also the amount of
bacteria present in the water. There may be other criteria’s, but the mentioned
ones are enough to gauge the amount of pollution in the water. Scientists often
takes fish and aquatic plants from the water to be tested to check the amount
of pollution indirectly affecting these species.
