Answer: 1) Adding fertilizers to soil

Explanation: Eutrophication is the presence of excess mineral and nutrients in water bodies which result into increased plant and algal growth.

Fertilizers containing nitrogen and phosphorus are used to make soil more fertile in farming. The overuse of fertilizers can cause these nutrients to runoff the farmer's fields and enter water bodies, thus leading to eutrophication.

What do you expect will occur as air masses move over cold locations? Hot locations? How does this movement of air masses affect

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

When air masses will move over cold location then bottom layer of air cools and become more dense. Due to its high density it is trapped near the ground then it flow towards the equator.

When it moves over hot location then bottom layer gets hot and lighter. Then it moves towards poles.

It changes the temperature and humidity of the climate. making hoter region coll and cooler region a bit hot.

What a dehydration means?.

Burka [1]

To solve such this we must know the concept of chemical reaction and dehydration reaction. Therefore, dehydration means to remove water from a compound.

<h3>What is chemical reaction? </h3>

Chemical reaction is a process in which two or more than two molecules collide in right orientation and energy to form a new chemical compound. The mass of the overall reaction should be conserved. There are so many types of chemical reaction reaction like combination reaction, double displacement reaction.

Dehydration is a chemical process in which removal of water molecules from a compound take place using suitable reagent. The best reagent for dehydration can be any reagent that is water loving.

Therefore, dehydration means to remove water.

Diffusion is a general term referring to the net movement of atoms and molecules along a concentration gradient, from an area of

aniked [119]

Answer:

Higher concentration to an area of lower concentration

Explanation:

When you open a perfume bottle at a corner of a room, after a while, its fragrance can be perceived across a distance at the other end of the room. This is because, molecules of the compound in the fragrance have moved from the area of higher concentration in the perfume bottle, across a concentration gradient to a region of lower concentration at the other end of the room. This is diffusion.

Which elements have the quantum numbers (4,3,-2,+1/2) and (5,2,-1,-1/2)

nikklg [1K]

The elements are samarium (Sm) and silver (Ag).

Quantum numbers (4,3,-2,+½)

n = 4: Principal quantum number = 4.

l = 3: Element has 4f electrons

It is conventional to list quantum numbers in decreasing order.

Hund’s rule states that all the orbitals must be half-filled with electrons having the same spin before any can receive a second electron.

We get the following table:

Element n l mₗ mₛ

La 4 3 3 +½

Ce 4 3 2 +½

Pr 4 3 1 +½

Nd 4 3 0 +½

Pm 4 3 -1 +½

Sm 4 3 -2 +½

The element is samarium, Sm.

Quantum numbers (5,2,-1,-½)

n = 5: Principal quantum number = 5.

l = 2: Element has 5d electrons

We get the following table:

Element n l mₗ mₛ

Y 5 2 2 +½

Zr 5 2 1 +½

Nb 5 2 0 +½

Mo 5 2 -1 +½

Tc 5 2 -2 +½

Ru 5 2 2 -½

Rh 5 2 1 -½

Pd 5 2 0 -½

Ag 5 2 -1 -½

The element is silver, Ag.

Note: These assignments assume that there are no exceptions in the Periodic Table.
