Answer: Coal can be extracted from the mountain top removal mines in two ways, such as-

Open cast mining- Here various mining techniques are used to excavate at the surface, in order to extract the coal from it.
Underground mining- Here, underground excavation is done to obtain the coal from the subsurface. It is a very costly mining method and risky at the same time, compared to the open cast mining.

I may be wrong but I believe they blow up the mountaintop then drill it out.
Sorry if it doesn't help.

slega [8]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\math{\dfrac{\text{6 mol thiosulfate}}{\text{1 mol iodate}}}}$

Explanation:

The I₂ is the common substance in the two equations.

(1) IO₃⁻ + 5I⁻ + 6H⁺ ⟶ 3I₂ + 3H₂O

{2) I₂ + 2S₂O₃²⁻ ⟶ 2I⁻ + S₄O₆²⁻

From Equation (1), the molar ratio of iodate to iodine is

$\dfrac{\text{I}_{2}}{\text{IO}_{3}^{-}} = \dfrac{3}{1}$

From Equation (2), the molar ratio of iodine to thiosulfate is

$\dfrac{\text{S$_{2}$O}_{3}^{2-}}{\text{I}_{2}} = \dfrac{2}{1}$

Combining the two ratios, we get

$\text{Stoichiometric factor} = \dfrac{\text{S$_{2}$O}_{3}^{2-}}{\text{IO}_{3}^{-}} = \dfrac{\text{S$_{2}$O}_{3}^{2-}}{\text{I}_{2}} \times \dfrac{\text{I}_{2}}{\text{IO}_{3}^{-}} = \dfrac{2}{1} \times \dfrac{3}{1} = \mathbf{\dfrac{6}{1}}\\\\\text{The stoichiometric factor is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{\dfrac{\text{6 mol thiosulfate}}{\text{1 mol iodate}}}}$}$

the atom was thought to be indivisible. Explain the significance of Thomson's concept of the electron.

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Thomson's experiments with cathode ray tubes showed that all atoms contain tiny negatively charged subatomic particles or electrons. Thomson's plum pudding model of the atom had negatively-charged electrons embedded within a positively-charged "soup.

The density of water is 1.00g/cm3. Express this density in lb/m3

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer: 2205 lb/m^3

Explanation:

1g = 0.002205lb
1cm^3 = 1x10^-6m^3

Convert: (1g/cm^3)*(0.002205lb/g)*(1cm^3/1x10^-6m^3) = 2205 lb/m^3
