Answer:

“Landfill Systems: Final Cap, Landfill Gas Control Collection, Leachate Control Collection and Cleaning, Stormwater Basins, Monitoring Systems”

Landfill gas is comprised of methane, carbon dioxide, water and other organic compounds. The Landfill Gas (LFG) System on site collects and controls gas emissions through a network of wells connected by pipes below the surface that convey the gas through a vacuum. Once collected, the gas is processed to pipeline quality (recovery for domestic energy use) at an on–site LFG recovery plant. Gas emissions, non–methane organic compounds (NMOCs) and other hazardous pollutants are reduced by almost 100%. LFG and its odor are prevented from entering the atmosphere. In addition to this active gas collection and recovery system, an additional safety system is in place to prevent the migration of gas off–site.

Leachate

Leachate is the liquid by–product of the breakdown of household waste. Once the final cover is placed on the landfill, the quantity of leachate produced diminishes considerably because the amount of water that comes in contact with waste is minimized. The goal of the leachate management system is to remove pollutants by containment, collection and treatment of leachate before it reenters the environment. All treated water is cleaner than the nearby Arthur Kill.

Which diagrams shows reaction pathway that absorbs energy?

postnew [5]

Question:

<em>The diagram shows the potential energy changes for a reaction pathway.</em>

Part 1: Does the diagram illustrate an endothermic or an exothermic reaction? Give reasons in support of your answer.

Part 2: Describe how you can determine the total change in enthalpy and activation energy from the diagram and if each is positive or negative.

Answer:

Part 1: The diagram illustrates an endothermic reaction as the products has a higher potential energy than the reactants do. There is a positive slope of the diagram and there is enough energy to meet the activation energy requirement.

Part 2: You can determine the total change in enthalpy and activation energy from the diagram by the potential energy of the reactants. If the reactants have a high potential energy, then the enthalpy is also high, and if the reactants have a low potential energy, then the enthalpy is low. You can determine if the diagram is positive or negative by knowing if its an endothermic or exothermic reaction. An endothermic reaction is positive because the products are higher than the reactants and a exothermic reaction is negative because the reactants are higher than the products.

D is the correct answer :).

The four inner planets have slower orbits, slower spin, no rings, and they are made of rock and metal. The four outer planets have faster orbits and spins, a composition of gases and liquids, numerous moons, and rings. The outer planets are made of hydrogen and helium, so they are called gas giants.

Horizontal lines, like the horizon. That's how I remember it, anyways. Or on a globe, latitude lines. My teacher always taught us "FAT-itude lines."
