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.

What is the symbol of the ion with 36 electrons and a +2 charge?
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Strontium

Explanation:

The atomic number of strontium is 38.

It has 38 electrons.

It is alkaline earth metal. It has two valance electrons.

Strontium loses its two electrons and form cation with +2 charge.

Electronic configuration;

Sr₃₈ = [Kr] 5s²

The valance electrons present in 5s are lost by strontium atom and form Sr⁺² cation.

it is yellowish-white metal.

It is highly reactive.

It form salt with halogens.e.g

Sr    +   Br₂    →     SrBr₂

IT react with oxygen and form oxide.

2Sr   +   O₂   →    2SrO

this oxide form hydroxide when react with water,

SrO  + H₂O   →  Sr(OH)₂

With nitrogen it produced nitride,

3Sr + N₂     →  Sr₃N₂

With acid like HCl,

Sr + 2HCl  →  SrCl₂ + H₂

Equal molar quantities of Ca2 and EDTA (H4Y) are added to make a 0.010 M solution of CaY2- at pH 10. The formation constant for
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

the concentration of free Ca2⁺ in this solution is 7.559 × 10⁻⁷

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Ca^{2+ + y^{4- ⇄  CaY^{2-

Formation constant Kf

Kf = CaY^{2- / ( [Ca^{2+][y^{4-] ) = 5.0 × 10¹⁰

Now,

[y^{4-] = \alpha _4CH_4Y; ∝₄ = 0.35

so the equilibrium is;

Ca^{2+ + H_4Y ⇄  CaY^{2- + 4H⁺

Given that; CH_4Y = Ca^{2+     { 1 mol Ca^{2+  reacts with 1 mol H_4Y  }

so at equilibrium, CH_4Y = Ca^{2+ = x

∴

Ca^{2+ + y^{4- ⇄  CaY^{2-

x        + x         0.010-x

since Kf is high, them x will be small so, 0.010-x is approximately 0.010

so;

Kf = CaY^{2- / ( [Ca^{2+][y^{4-] ) =  CaY^{2- / ( [Ca^{2+][\alpha _4CH_4Y] )  = 5.0 × 10¹⁰

⇒ CaY^{2- / ( [Ca^{2+][\alpha _4CH_4Y] )  = 5.0 × 10¹⁰

⇒ 0.010 / ( [x][ 0.35 × x] )  = 5.0 × 10¹⁰

⇒ 0.010 / 0.35x²  = 5.0 × 10¹⁰

⇒ x² = 0.010 / ( 0.35 × 5.0 × 10¹⁰ )

⇒ x² = 0.010 / 1.75 × 10¹⁰

⇒ x² = 0.010 / 1.75 × 10¹⁰

⇒ x² = 5.7142857 × 10⁻¹³

⇒ x = √(5.7142857 × 10⁻¹³)

⇒ x = 7.559 × 10⁻⁷

Therefore, the concentration of free Ca2⁺ in this solution is 7.559 × 10⁻⁷

For a steel stack that exhausts 1,200 m3/min of gases at 1 atm and 400 k, calculate the inner diameter if you are designing for
bonufazy [111]

The inner diameter for a steel stack that exhausts 1,200 m3/min of gases at 1 atm and 400 k is 1.45 m

<h3>What is Stack Height ?</h3>

Stack height means the distance from the ground-level elevation at the base of the stack to the crown of the stack.

If a stack arises from a building or other structure, the ground-level elevation of that building or structure will be used as the base elevation of the stack.

Given is a steel stack that exhausts 1,200 cu.m/min of gases

P= 1 atm and

T= 400 K

maximum expected wind speed at stack height of 12 m/s

The formula for the diameter of chimney

\rm d=\sqrt{\dfrac{4Q}{\pi v} }

Q =1200 cu.m/min

= 1200 * 0.0166 = 19.92 cu.m/sec

Velocity = 12m/s

\rm d=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\times 19.92}{3.14*12} }\\

d= 1.45 m

Therefore The inner diameter for a steel stack that exhausts 1,200 m3/min of gases at 1 atm and 400 k is 1.45 m.
