How does a tree speed up erosion? How can it slow erosion down?

Chemistry
1 answer:
GREYUIT [131]3 years ago
8 0
A tree is able to speed up erosion because it break up rocks. This can happen as it’s roots grow through rocks, the water breaks through rocks, etc.
It can slow erosion down because it can act as a barrier to the elements that erode.

If 27.3% of a sample of silver-112 decays in 1.52 hours, what is the half-life (in hours to 3 decimal places)?
ICE Princess25 [194]

<u>Answer:</u> The half life of the sample of silver-112 is 3.303 hours.

<u>Explanation:</u>

All radioactive decay processes undergoes first order reaction.

To calculate the rate constant for first order reaction, we use the integrated rate law equation for first order, which is:

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log \frac{[A_o]}{[A]}

where,

k = rate constant = ?

t = time taken = 1.52 hrs

[A_o] = Initial concentration of reactant = 100 g

[A] = Concentration of reactant left after time 't' = [100 - 27.3] = 72.7 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

k=\frac{2.303}{1.52hrs}\log \frac{100}{72.7}\\\\k= 0.2098hr^{-1}

To calculate the half life period of first order reaction, we use the equation:

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

where,

t_{1/2} = half life period of first order reaction = ?

k = rate constant = 0.2098hr^{-1}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{0.2098hr^{-1}}\\\\t_{1/2}=3.303hrs

Hence, the half life of the sample of silver-112 is 3.303 hours.

Identify any solutes and solvents present in a mixture of 0.05 mol ethanol, 1 liter water, and 0.2 g hydrogen
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Water is the solvent

Both the ethanol and the hydrogen peroxide are the solute

Explanation:

Both the hydrogen peroxide and ethanol are sisobable in water.

There are 0.05 moles of ethanol.

1 litreof water contains 55.55 moles of water.

0.2 g of hydrogen peroxide contains 0.2/34 = 0.0059 moles of hydrogen peroxide (the 34 is the molar mass of hydrogen peroxide).

Since there are more moles of water, water becomes the solvent and the other two liquids dissolve in it.

The leaves of plants contain specialized parts that absorb energy from sunlight. Which feature would help a plant
Ber [7]

Chlorophyll  pigment found in chloroplast of leaves absorbs sunlight.

The plants has a technique in which they lean towards sunlight which helps them better to compete for sunlight.

Explanation:

The leaves of the plant consist of chloroplasts in which light absorbing pigment chlorophyll is found. The chloroplast consist of thylakoid where light reaction of photosynthesis takes place.

The presence of chlorophyll a in large amount would help plant better use the sunlight this amounts to increase number of chloroplast.

Leaning towards the sunlight is feature which helps them using more sunlight.

How many hydrogen atoms are in a cycloalkane with 8 carbon atoms?
frosja888 [35]
Cycloalkanes are those saturated organic compounds which exist in the form of Rings. Their Hydrogen Deficiency Index in one. The General formula for cycloalkanes is,
                                                  CnH2n
When number of Carbons = 8
Then
                                                  C₈H₂₍₈₎

                                                  C₈H₁₆

Result:
           
Cycloalkane containing 8 carbon atoms has 16 hydrogen atoms.

Another carbon isotope has six protons and seven neutrons in its nucleus. What do you think this carbon isotope is called?
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Carbon - 13

Explanation:

For most of the elements other than that of hydrogen, the isotopes are named for the mass number.

Example : Carbon atoms with 6 neutrons have mass number of 12 ( as 6\ protons +6\ neutrons=12 ), so they are known as carbon-12.

Given that:

Protons = 6

Neutrons = 7

Mass = 6 + 7 = 13

So the name is Carbon - 13 . The symbol is ^{13}_{6}C
