d, unsorted particles Soil D - flat, unsorted particles
Chemistry

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Porosity means the ease with which a fluid can pass through between a rock or cracks etc.

If particles of a soil are flat and even if they are sorted then there will rarely be any space available for fluid or water to pass through it.

If soil particles are round in shape and are sorted then there will be space available for the fluid to pass through it. Hence, this type of soil will be most porous.

Similarly, if soil particles are round but are unsorted then there will be less space available as compared to sorted particles. This is because particles are placed randomly so, somewhere there will be much less space and somewhere there will be large space available. As a result, soil will not be most porous.

If soil particles are flat and unsorted then there will also be less space available for the fluid to pass through it. Thus, soil will be less porous.

Hence, we can conclude that out of the given options, soil B - round, sorted particles is the most porous.

The chemical equation for the formation of ammonia is unbalanced. 3H2(g) + N2(g) -----> NH3(g) If three molecules of hydrogen
mestny [16]

Answer: 2 molecules of ammonia

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The balanced chemical equation for the formation of ammonia is:

3H_2(g)+N_2(g)\rightarrow 2NH_3

According to stoichiometry,

3 molecules of hydrogen combines with 1 molecule of nitrogen to give 2 molecules of ammonia.

What is ΔE in kJ for a system that receives 1.79 kJ of heat from surroundings and has 4.51 kcal of work done on it at the same t
kenny6666 [7]

Answer: 20.7 kJ

Explanation:

According to first law of thermodynamics:

\Delta E=q+w

\Delta E=Change in internal energy

q = heat absorbed or released

w = work done or by the system

w = work done on the system=-P\Delta V  {Work is done on the system is positive as the final volume is lesser than initial volume}

w = 4.51 kcal = 4.51\times 4.184kJ=18.9kJ    (1kcal = 4.184kJ)

q = +1.79 kJ   {Heat absorbed by the system is positive}

\Delta E=+1.79+(18.9)=20.7kJ

Thus \Delta E for a system that receives 1.79 kJ of heat from surroundings and has 4.51 kcal of work done on it at the same time is 20.7 kJ
