In 1973, the insecticide called DDT wasbanned in the United States due to concerns that itwas toxic to fish and that it may have affected birds.There is little scientific evidence that DDT is directlyharmful to humans. How could banning DDT be beneficial to human health

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

DDT is dichlorodipphenylrtrichloroethane. It is was a popular insecticide used for agricultural purposes. Racheal Carson's book, silent springs drew attention to the use of insecticides such as DDT in agriculture.

DDT is a non-biodegradable, fat-soluble compound. It enters into the food chain and has the ability to bioaccumulate in the human body where it becomes deposited in the adipose tissue.

There is no direct harmful effect of DDT to humans, however, when oxidation of DDT takes place in body many harmful metabolites  are released into the body causing harmful effects to human health such as; breast cancer, male infertility, miscarriages and low birth weight, developmental delay and liver damage.

There is convincing empirical evidence supporting the carcinogenicity of DDT its main metabolites DDE and DDD, however, many studies on the harm caused by DDT and its main metabolites in the body have so far led to inconclusive, and sometimes negative, results

Practice Problem #2 - Frank has an eraser with a mass of 10g and a volume
of 15cm? What is its density? Show your work:

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 0.67 g/cm³

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

[tex]density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\ [/tex]

From the question

mass = 10 g

volume = 15 cm³

We have

[tex]density = \frac{10}{15} = \frac{2}{3} \\ = 0.66666666...[/tex]

We have the final answer as

0.67 g/cm³

Imagine our class has discovered a new element and named it Berkmarium. Berkmarium is known to have 3 naturally occurring isotopes. In nature, 70% of the element is Berkmarium-95, 28% is Berkmarium-97, and 2% is Berkmarium-94. Which isotope will the average atomic mass of Berkmarum be closest to, and why? Support your answer with a calculation.

Answers

Answer:

Detail is given below.

Explanation:

Given data;

Abundance of Berkmarium-95 = 70%

Abundance of Berkmarium-97 = 28%

Abundance of Berkmarium-94 = 2%

Average atomic mass closer to which isotope = ?

Solution:

1st of all we will calculate the average atomic mass of Berkmarium.

Average atomic mass = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass) + (abundance of 3rd isotope × its atomic mass) / 100

Average atomic mass  = (70×95)+(28×97)+(2×94) /100

Average atomic mass =  6650 + 2716+ 188 / 100

Average atomic mass= 9554 / 100

Average atomic mass = 95.54 amu

The average atomic mass is closer to the isotope Berkmarium-95  because it is present in abundance as compared to the other two isotope. So this isotope constitute most of the part of Berkmarium.

The overall reaction in a commercial heat pack can be represented as How much heat is released when 4.40 moles of iron are reacted with excess ? Heat = kJ How much heat is released when 1.00 mole of is produced? Heat = kJ How much heat is released when 1.60 g iron is reacted with excess ? Heat = kJ How much heat is released when 11.8 g and 1.20 g are reacted? Heat = kJ

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The overall equation for this reaction can be represented as:[tex]4 Fe(s) + 3 O_{2(g) } \to 2Fe_2O_{3(s)} \ \ \ \ \Delta H = -1652 \ kJ[/tex]

The first question says:

How much heat is released when 4.40 moles of iron is reacted with excess O₂?

Suppose 1652 kJ of heat is being emitted into the surroundings when four(4) moles of Fe reacted with O₂, therefore;

4.40 moles of Fe reacts with:

[tex]=\dfrac{4.40 \ moles \times 1652 \ kJ}{4 \ moles}[/tex]

= 1817.2 kJ of heat will be produced.

The second question says:

How much heat is released when 1.00 mole of [tex]Fe_2O_3[/tex] is produced?

Given that 1652 kJ of heat is being emitted into the surroundings when two(2) moles of [tex]Fe_2O_3[/tex] is produced, therefore;

1.00 moles of [tex]Fe_2O_3[/tex] reacts with:

[tex]=\dfrac{1.00 \ moles \times 1652 \ kJ}{2 \ moles}[/tex]

= 826 kJ of heat will be produced.

To the third question; we have:

How much heat is released when 1.60 g iron is reacted with excess O₂?

We need to find the number of moles of iron first.

We know that number of moles = mass/molar mass

Thus, the molar mass of iron = 55.8 g/mol

number of moles of iron = (1.60g) / (55.8 g/mol)

number of moles of iron = 0.02867 mol

Thus; [tex]\dfrac{0.02867\ mol \times 1652 \ kJ }{4 \ mol}[/tex]

= 11.84 kJ of heat is released.

The last question says:

How much heat is released when 11.8 g Fe and 1.20 g O₂ are reacted?

Again;

the number of moles of Fe = (11.8g) / (55.8 g/mol) = 0.2114 mole of Fe

Thus; [tex]\dfrac{0.2114\ mol \times 1652 \ kJ }{4 \ mol}[/tex]

= 87.31 kJ of heat is released.

On the other hand,

the number of moles of O₂ = (1.20g) / (32 g/mol) = 0.0375 mol of O₂

Thus; [tex]\dfrac{0.0375\ mol \times 1652 \ kJ }{3 \ mol}[/tex]

= 20.65 kJ of heat is released

Therefore, when these two(2) reactants reacted with each other, it is just the smaller amount of heat that would be released because oxygen tends to be the limiting reactant.
