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.

Answer:

The pH of the solution will be 7.53.

Explanation:

Dissociation constant of KClO= $K_a=2.8\times 10^{-8}$

Concentration of acid in 1 l= 0.30 M

Then in 200 ml = $0.30 M\times 0.200 L=0.06 M$

The concentration of acid, HClO=[acid]= 0.006 M

Concentration of salt in 1 L = 0.20 M

Then in 300 ml = $0.20 M\times 0.300 L=0.06 M$

The concentration of acid, KClO=[salt]= 0.006 M

The pH of the solution will be given by formula :

$pH=pK_{a}^o+\log\frac{[salt]}{[acid]}$

$pH=-\log[2.8\times 10^{-8}]+\frac{[0.06 M]}{[0.06 M]}$

The pH of the solution will be 7.53.

2.00 L of 0.800 M NaNO3 must be prepared from a solution known to be 2.50 M in concentration.How many mL are required? Plus don'

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

1.36 × 10³ mL of water.

Explanation:

We can utilize the dilution equation. Recall that:

$\displaystyle M_1V_1= M_2V_2$

Where M represents molarity and V represents volume.

Let the initial concentration and unknown volume be M₁ and V₁, respectively. Let the final concentration and required volume be M₂ and V₂, respectively. Solve for V₁:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} (2.50\text{ M})V_1 &= (0.800\text{ M})(2.00\text{ L}) \\ \\ V_1 & = 0.640\text{ L} \end{aligned}$

Therefore, we can begin with 0.640 L of the 2.50 M solution and add enough distilled water to dilute the solution to 2.00 L. The required amount of water is thus:
$\displaystyle 2.00\text{ L} - 0.640\text{ L} = 1.36\text{ L}$

Convert this value to mL:
$\displaystyle 1.36\text{ L} \cdot \frac{1000\text{ mL}}{1\text{ L}} = 1.36\times 10^3\text{ mL}$

Therefore, about 1.36 × 10³ mL of water need to be added to the 2.50 M solution.
