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.

If 9.87g of As2O3 reacts with carbon, then 7.71g of As should be produced. If only 6.33g of As is actually produced, what is the percent yield of As?
a 82.1%
b 0.821%
c 64.1%
d 0.641 %

Answers

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Percent yield= Actual yield/Theoretical yield x 100

The problem tells you that 6.33g of As is produced (actual yield), but 7.71g should be produced (theoretical yield). So 6.33/7.71= 0.821 x 100= 82.1%

48g of methane was burned in an excess of air. What mass of carbon dioxide would be produced in the reaction assuming complete combustion? Use the information below to answer the question.

Answers

Answer:

132g

Explanation:

CH4= 12+4=16  

moles= m/Mr    moles=48/16=3 mol

CO2= Mr=44

there are the same number of moles as methane:

Mass= Mrxmoles

44x3=132g

The mass of the carbon dioxide produced by the combustion of the 48 g of methane is equal to 132 g.

What is the combustion reaction?

Combustion reaction involves the complete oxidation of the hydrocarbon such reactions generally release only carbon dioxide and water as products.

A hydrocarbon undergoes combustion to produce carbon dioxide and water as the product. No other side products are formed in the combustion reaction.

The given combustion reaction of the methane can be written as follows:

CH₄   + 2 O₂ →  CO₂  +  2H₂O

Given the amount of methane for combustion = 48 g

The molar mass of methane = 16g/mol

The molar mass of the carbon dioxide, CO₂ = 44g/mol

16 grams of methane produce carbon dioxide = 44g

The  48 grams of methane will produce CO₂ = (44/16) ×48 = 132 g

Therefore, the mass of 132 g of carbon dioxide is produced by the combustion of 48g of methane.

Who are fossil scientist?

Fossil scientist are the specialists in studying the ancient fossils of animals and plants.

If fossils of two different species of very similar organisms are found in different layers of rock then it might be the possibility that one organism was ancestor of the other or both organisms lived around the same time. Because it is not necessary that if two species had the same organism then they have same behavior.
