What do scientists believe formed the moon's craters and regolith

seraphim [82]

Answer:

What is most widely accepted today is the giant-impact theory. It proposes that the Moon formed during a collision between the Earth and another small planet, about the size of Mars. The debris from this impact collected in an orbit around Earth to form the Moon.

1 Ammonia, NH3, reacts with incredibly strong bases to produce the amide ion, NH2 -. Ammonia can also react with acids to produc

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

a) ammonium ion

b) amide ion

Explanation:

The order of decreasing bond angles of the three nitrogen species; ammonium ion, ammonia and amide ion is NH4+ >NH3> NH2-. Next we need to rationalize this order of decreasing bond angles from the valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory perspective.

First we must realize that all three nitrogen species contain a central sp3 hybridized carbon atom. This means that a tetrahedral geometry is ideally expected. Recall that the presence of lone pairs distorts molecular structures from the expected geometry based on VSEPR theory.

The amide ion contains two lone pairs of electrons. Remember that the presence of lone pairs causes greater repulsion than bond pairs on the outermost shell of the central atom. Hence, the amide ion has the least H-N-H bond angle of about 105°.

The ammonia molecule contains one lone pair, the repulsion caused by one lone pair is definitely bless than that caused by two lone pairs of electrons hence the bond angle of the H-N-H bond in ammonia is 107°.

The ammonium ion contains four bond pairs and no lone pair of electrons on the outermost nitrogen atom. Hence we expect a perfect tetrahedron with bond angle of 109°.

The raw water supply for a community contains 18 mg/L total particulate matter. It is to be treated by addition of 60 mg alum (A

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Solution :

Given :

The steady state flow = 8000 $m^3 /d$

$= 80 \times 10^5 \ I/d$

The concentration of the particulate matter = 18 mg/L

Therefore, the total quantity of a particulate matter in fluid $= 80 \times 10^5 \ I/d \times 18 \ mg/L$

$= 144 \times 10^6 \ mg/g$

$= 144 \ kg/d$

If 60 mg of alum $[Al_2(SO_4)_3.14 H_2O]$ required for one litre of the water treatment.

So Alum required for $80 \times 10^5 \ I/d$

$= 80 \times 15^5 \ I/d \times 60 \ mg \ alum /L$

$= 480 \times 10^6 \ mg/d$

or 480 kg/d

Therefore the alum required is 480 kg/d

1 mg of the alum gives 0.234 mg alum precipitation, so 60 mg of alum will give $= 60 \times 0.234 \text{ of alum ppt. per litre}$

$= 14.04$ mg of alum ppt. per litre

480 kg of alum will give = 480 x 0.234 kg/d

= 112.32 kg/d ppt of alum

Daily total solid load is $= 144 \ kg/d + 112.32 \ kg/d$

= 256.32 kg/d

So, the total concentration of the suspended solid after alum addition $= 18 \ mg/L + 60 \times 0.234$

= 32.04 mg/L

Therefore total alum requirement = 480 kg/d

b). Initial pH = 7.4

The dissociation reaction of aluminium hydroxide as follows :

$Al(OH)_3 \rightleftharpoons Al^{3+} + 3OH^{-}$

After addition, the aluminium hydroxide pH of water will increase due to increase in $OH^-$ ions.

Therefore, the pH of water will be acceptable range after the addition of aluminium hydroxide.

c). The reaction of $CO_2$ and water as follows :

$CO_2 (g) + H_2O (l) \rightarrow H_2CO_3$

For the atmospheric pressure :

$p_{CO_2} = 3.5 \times 10^{-4} \ atm$

And the pH is reduced into the range of 5.9 to 6.4

What type of heat transfer is a beaker on a hot plate an example of?

sesenic [268]

Heat transfer to a beaker on a hot plate is an example of conduction.

Explanation:

Conduction is a process where heat is transferred from one particle to another particle. Conduction is mainly possible in case of solids.In case of solids the atoms as well as the molecules are tightly packed through which the kinetic energy can easily pass. Conduction takes place when both the objects are touching each other. But in case of liquids molecules are loosely packed as a result convection takes place.
