Distinguish between dunes and loess

Chemistry
1 answer:
agasfer [191]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Dunes are loose sand hills.

Loess is a compacted wind-blown formation of sediment.

Explanation:

Sand dunes are, as their name implies, made of sand which is itself made of tiny quartz pieces. Sand dunes are present where there is a ready source of broken down sandstone or other type of rock and wind to transport the sand. The dunes are mobile and loose and migrate over time.

Loess comes in vast formations and was created in a very different way. In the last ice age, winds from the north carried sediments loosened and ground by glaciers southwards. There, the sediments accumulated in large formations and became compacted over time.

i don't need these solved I just need the steps to solve it and. what these problems in chemistry would be called so I can look
wolverine [178]

The answers are as follows,

1. 4.71 L,

2. 3.29 L,

3. 1634.6 torr

<u>Explanation:</u>

All the above problems can be sorted out using the Boyle's law represents the relationship between the volume and pressure.

It can be expressed as follows,

                      P1V1 = P2V2

Rearranging the above expression, we get,

                     $ V2 = \frac{P1V1}{V2}

1) The first case can be solved as,

     $V 2=\frac{921 \mathrm{mm} \mathrm{Hg} \times 3.89 \mathrm{L}}{760 \mathrm{mm} \mathrm{Hg}}=4.71 \mathrm{L}

2) The second case can be solved as,

       $V 2=\frac{25 L \times 600 \text { torr}}{4560 \text { torr}}=3.29 L

3) The third case can be solved as,

     $P 2=\frac{7.43 L \times 1100 \text { torr}}{5 L}=1634.6 \text { torr}

Thus the answers for all the three cases are found as,

1. 4.71 L,

2. 3.29 L,

3. 1634.6 torr respectively

What is the ph of a soft drink in which the major buffer ingredients are 6.6 g of nah2po4 and 8.0 g of na2hpo4 per 355 ml of sol
Alex777 [14]
The Relative Formula Mass of NaH2PO4 is 120 g/mol
Therefore, the number of moles = 6.6/120
                                                   = 0.055 moles of NaH2PO4 which is also equal to the number of moles of H2PO4.
[H2PO4-] = Number of moles oof H2PO4-/Volume of the solution in L
  = 0.055/ ( 355 ×10^-3)
  = 0.155 M
Na2HPO4 undergoes complete dissociation as follows;
Na2HPO4 (aq)= 2Na+ (aq) + HPO4^2- (aq)

1 mole of Na2HPO4 = 142 g/mol
Therefore; number of moles = 8.0/142
                                             = 0.0563 moles
 [HPO4 ^-2] is given by no of moles HPO4^2- /volume of the solution in L
     = 0.0563/(355×10^-3)
     =  0.1586 M
Both H2PO4^2- and HPO4^2- are weak acids the undergoes partial dissociation 
Ka of H2PO4- = 6.20 × 10^-8
 [H+] =Ka*([H2PO4-]/[HPO4(2-)]
        = (6.20 ×10^-8)×(0.155/0.1586)
        = 6.059 ×10^-8 M
pH = - log[H+]
     = - log (6.059×10^-8)
     = 7.218

Which is a problem associated with the use of trees for biomass? I. Potential deforestation II. Burning fossil carbon III. Poten
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Both Option (I) and Option (III)

Explanation:

Biomass is usually defined as those organic molecules that are obtained from plants and animals, in order to produce energy. It is a renewable resource. Some of the examples of biomass include wood, crop, animal fossil fuel.

A large number of trees are being cut down to construct these biomass energies such as woods. This results in the deforestation process where the forested areas are converted into empty dry soils. This results in the increasing rate of erosion because the prevailing wind and flowing water can easily carry away the topsoil and loses the fertility of the soil.

Thus, the correct answers are both options (I) and (III).
