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.

An alcohol thermometer makes use of alcohol's changing in order to measure temperature. As the temperature goes up.
kotegsom [21]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

An alcohol thermometer makes use of alcohol's changing _______ in order to measure temperature. As the temperature goes up, the alcohol contained in the thermometer increases in volume, filling more of the thermometer's tube.

A.

mass

B.

state

C.

chemical composition

D.

density

Answer:

D.

density

Explanation:

Every kind of thermometer makes use of a change in a particular physical property of a substance as a measure of temperature. It must be a property that changes with temperature.

Density of a substance changes with temperature. Even though the mass of alcohol in glass remains constant, but its volume increases or decreases with change in temperature leading to a change in volume and consequently a change in density of the alcohol in glass. This change is used as a measure of the change in temperature.

Bill, a lab technician, was asked to measure out sodium hydroxide (NaOH) for an experiment in a research lab. He was given a cho
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

He is wrong . Most accurate is Buret .

Explanation:

The number of significant figure denotes the level of accuracy of a measurement .

Beaker can measure liquid in mL upto significant figure of 2 . That means it can measure volume in terms of 10 , 20 , 30mL etc . It can not measure 25 mL

accurately . The last figure of 28 mL is read by guess in the question . So it is not an accurate measurement .

Similarly , graduated cylinder can measure liquid upto significant figure of 3 .  That means it can measure volume in terms of 11 , 22 , 33 mL etc . It can not measure 25.5  mL accurately . The last figure of 28.3  mL is read by guess in the question . So it is less  accurate measurement .

Similarly , buret  can measure liquid upto significant figure of 4 .  That means it can measure volume in terms of 11.2 , 22.3 , 33.5 mL etc . It can not measure 25.53  mL accurately . The last figure of 28.32  mL is read by guess in the question . So it is most accurate among all the three instrument because it can measure accurately mL upto one tenth of it .
