...1. Explain the connection between your health and what you breathe. -Clean unpolluted air keeps us alive and healthy, that is why it’s important for us to keep our environment clean 2. Describe air in terms of its major components, their relative amounts, and the local and regional variations in the composition of air. -Major components of air are: nitrogen, oxygen, argon, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. The composition of air by volume is about 78% nitrogen, 21%oxygen, and 1% other gases. ****** 3. List the major air pollutants and describe the health effects of each. -Four major air pollutants and their health effects: -Carbon monoxide- known as the “silent killer” because it has no color, taste, or smell. Once you inhale it passes into your blood stream and interferes with the ability of your hemoglobin to carry oxygen. At first you may feel dizzy, nauseous, or your head may hurt. Continued exposure can lead to severe illness, even death -Ozone- sharp odor, may be detected around a photocopier, electric motor, or welding equip. Can reduce lung function. Symptoms include chest pain, coughing, sneezing and lung congestion. -Sulfur dioxide- has a sharp unpleasant odor and dissolves in the moist tissue of your lungs to form an acid. Those with lung disease such as emphysema or asthma are most susceptible to sulfur dioxide poisoning. -Nitrogen dioxide- brown color and also damages lung tissue. Like sulfur dioxide...

This is worth 3 marks here. Remember that the curve has a decreasing gradient on the left. It is not ‘bell-shaped’. When two particles collide, one gains energy and the other loses energy. In this way particles pass on energy. A catalyst is a substance that speeds up the reaction and is unchanged at the end. It works by providing an alternative route of lower activation energy. 1 1 The question talks about molecules so don’t label the axis atoms! 1 1 1 1 A curve that levels off >10% of max. peak height or a curve that crosses the energy axis will not score this last mark. Curve must not cross T1 curve twice. This can also be shown on a correctly labelled diagram. You could also...

Do you think you could use a plastic cup to drink your milk? How would you go from one city to the next? Could you get on a train or would you have to walk or ride a horse? How would you send a her or call her on your cell phone? message to your mom telling her you’ll be late for dinner? Can you email How would you get your clothes?
