Scientists observe that iron compounds are able to bind to nutrients in waterways experiencing eutrophication. Which change will

most likely occur if iron compounds are added to a lake with an overabundance of nutrients? (1 point)
1. Fewer microorganisms will grow on the surface of the lake
2. More areas of hypoxia will occur in the lake.
3. More contaminated water will reach the lake.
4. Less sunlight will reach aquatic plants in the lake.

Which phrase best describes fracking?(1 point)

1. removing the top layer of an ore-bearing mountain to access oil and gas resources
2. using water and chemicals at high pressure to open up fissures to access oil and gas resources
3. using water and chemicals at high pressure to open up fissures to access mineral resources
4. removing the top layer of an ore-bearing mountain to access mineral resources

(1) Fewer microorganisms will grow on the surface of the lake if iron compounds are added to a lake with an overabundance of nutrients. Hence, option 1 is correct.

(2) Fracking means using water and chemicals at high pressure to open up fissures to access oil and gas resources. Hence, option 2 is correct.

<h3>What are microorganisms?</h3>

An organism that can be seen only through a microscope.

Iron is a natural capping agent which can enhance sediment P binding capacity, thus reducing P availability and shifting a lake from an algal to a macrophyte dominated state. Iron could, however, also impose toxic effects on the biota.

Fracking is the injection of a fluid at high pressure into an underground rock formation to open fissures and allow trapped gas or crude oil to flow through a pipe to a wellhead at the surface.

This technique is used in natural gas and petroleum production.

1) Fewer microorganisms will grow on the surface of the lake if iron compounds are added to a lake with an overabundance of nutrients. Hence, option 1 is correct.

(2) Fracking means using water and chemicals at high pressure to open up fissures to access oil and gas resources. Hence, option 2 is correct

What is the mean free path for the molecules in an ideal gas when the pressure is 100 kPa and the temperature is 300 K given tha
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The mean free path = 2.16*10^-6 m

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Pressure of gas P = 100 kPa

Temperature T = 300 K

collision cross section, σ = 2.0*10^-20 m2

Boltzmann constant, k = 1.38*10^-23 J/K

<u>To determine:</u>

The mean free path, λ

<u>Calculation:</u>

The mean free path is related to the collision cross section by the following equation:

\lambda =\frac{1}{n\sigma }------(1)

where n = number density

n = \frac{P}{kT}-----(2)

Substituting for P, k and T in equation (2) gives:

n = \frac{100,000 Pa}{1.38*10^{-23} J/K*300K} =2.42*10^{25}\  m^{3}

Next, substituting for n and σ in equation (1) gives:

\lambda =\frac{1}{2.42*10^{25}m^{-3}* .0*10^{-20}m^{2}}=2.1*10^{-6}m
