Question
Chapter 11.6, Problem 11.24P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the presence of DDT in the tissues of shorebirds should be explained.
Concept Introduction:
The solubility of a molecule in any solvent depends on its polarity as well as the polarity of the solvent. A polar molecule dissolves in polar solvent whereas a non-polar molecule dissolves in non-polar solvent.

What type of activities will you prepare to explain for students to explain the different types of pollution and effects of pollution on our health
An action will elevate the concentrations of three chemicals in the drinking water supply: 1,1,1-
trichloroethane to 2 mg/L, tetrachloroethylene to 0.04 mg/L and 1,1-dichloroethylene to 0.1
mg/L. Determine the lifetime risk of developing an undesirable health effect due to this
exposure for a 50 kg adult who drinks 1 L/day of water containing these elevated pollution
levels. Is there cause for concern? Why?
why do we use carbon monoxide monitors indoors? In normal situations is carbon dioxide considered A contaminant? Describe two methods carbon dioxide is used to help reach the desired endpoint?

- 1) In lab you are given 4 bottles, each containing about 5 grams of a white substance. Near the bottles are four labels indicating each bottle contains a high purity substance. Assume these labels belong to the bottles and that each bottle contains a single substance. The four bottles contain glucose (C6H12O6), sodium chloride (NaCl), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), and zinc sulfate (ZnSO4). Using your knowledge of solubility rules and electrolytic behavior, describe tests that you could conduct to determine which label belongs to which bottle. For these tests you may only use DI water, an aqueous solution of barium nitrate, and a conductivity tester to identify the substance in each of the bottles. Give the results you would expect for each test.arrow_forwardA large population of Japanese beetles infests a plot of cropland. In response to the infesta tion, farmers treat the land with organochlorine pesticides. As a result of the treatment, the population of Japanese beetles is eradicated within the cropland, along with the popula- tions of multiple other insect species. Which of the following statements explains the most likely reason for the death of so many insect populations? Organochlorine pesticides are persistent organic pollutants that interfere with the respi- ratory system of the insect populations. Organochlorine pesticides are endocrine disruptors that interfere with the growth hor- mones of the insect populations. Organochlorine pesticides are persistent organic pollutants and interfere with the re- productive organs of the insect populations. Organochlorine pesticides are endocrine disruptors that interfere with the transmission of nerve impulses, resulting in spasms, seizures, and death of the insect populations.arrow_forwardYou are in a smoky room for three hours and the CO concentration is 45 ppm.

Acidic gases are repelled by the surfaces of both non-living and living things, such as plant tissue. B. Acids from various air pollutants build up in the atmosphere, dissolve in atmo- spheric water vapor, and fall back to Earth. Rain, sleet, or snow with a pH of 6 or less forms in the atmosphere and falls back to the surface of Earth. Solid acidic particles build up in the atmosphere, do not mix with atmospheric water vapor, and eventually settle out of the atmosphere onto the surface of Earth.arrow_forwardConsider four distinct physical properties: boiling point, melting point, solubility, and density. which of these physical properties do you think allows extraction to work? and why?arrow_forward
