Correct Answer: C6H5CH3
Question 3.
The oxidation state does not play a role in the toxicity of metals (t/f)
Correct Answer: False
Question 4.
What is the oxidation state of magnesium in MgCO3 (s)? 1) 2+ 2) 1+ 3) 0 4) 1-
Correct Answer: 2+
Question 5.
Which of the following is not an organohalide
Correct Answer: CH3CHSHCH2CH3
Question 6.
Kow is called an octanol-water partition coefficient. It is an equilibrium constant that
represent for the movement of a contaminant between octanol and water. Octanol is used
as a surrogate for the lipids in an organism. Which of the following chemicals is likely to be
present in the lipid of an aquatic organism at the greatest concentration? 1) PCB, log Kow
= 4.2 2) Benzenoic acid, log Kow = 1.9 3) CH3Hg+, log Kow = 2.3 4) DDT, log Kow = 6.5
Correct Answer: DDT, log Kow = 6.5

rotenone in the pond?
Correct Answer: 0.0001 M
