Answer:

True

Explanation:

It can cause flooding and destruction of habitat because of dammed rivers create large reservoirs upstream which can spill out to the surrounding during heavy rainfall causing flooding and destruction of natural habitat.

Alcohol of mass 33.2g and density 0.79kg/m³ or 790kg/m³ is mixed with water of 9g. What is the density of the resulting mixture?
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

  0.83 g/cm³

Explanation:

The volume of the alcohol is ...

  (33.2 g)/(0.79 g/cm³) ≈ 42.0253 cm³

The density of water is about 1 g/cm³, so the volume of 9 g of it is ...

  (9 g)/(1 g/cm³) = 9 cm³

The total volume is ...

  42.0253 cm³ +9 cm³ = 51.0253 cm³

The total mass is ...

  33.2 g + 9 g = 42.4 g

So, the resulting density is ...

  (42.4 g)/(51.0253 cm³) ≈ 0.83 g/cm³

The resulting mixture has a density of about 0.83 g/cm³.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Alcohol dissolves in water, so the total volume will be slightly less than 51.0253 cm³. The attached curve shows the result of mixing ethanol and water.

The weight of a mole of ethanol is about 46 g, of water, about 18.02 g. Then the mole fraction of alcohol is ...

  (33.2/46)/(33.2/46 +9/18.02) ≈ 0.59

The volume of the mix is then estimated to be (-1.05 cc/mol)(1.221 mol), or about 1.28 cm³ less than the volume indicated above. That brings the density up to about 0.85 g/cm³.

We're not completely sure of the relevance of this calculation, since many of the applicable parameters are not specified. The point is that <em>the density of the mix will probably be slightly more than the value calculated above</em>. YMMV

Wil-E-Coyote drops a bowling ball off a cliff to try to catch the Roadrunner. The cliff is
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

t = 5.19 s

Explanation:

We have,

Height of the cliff is 132 m

It is required to find the time taken by the ball to fall to the ground. Let t is the time taken. So, using equation of kinematics as :

y=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\\text{since}\ u=0\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2y}{g}}\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 132}{9.8}}\\\\t=5.19\ s

So, it will take 5.19 seconds to fall to the ground.

What is meant by global warming?
pychu [463]

The global warming is the uniform heating of the globe due to the effect of greenhouse gases.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Global warming is thus the theory that says that earth is warming up with an increase in temperature over time due to increment in the greenhouse gases.

These are greenhouse gases that are getting increased due to the human activity or say over exploitation of the natural resources. The heating of the globe has caused ozone layer depletion which is also causing warming.

Describe each of the following as a physical or chemical property. a. Neon is a colorless gas at room temperature.b. Apple slice
Cloud [144]

Answer: Neon is a colorless gas at room temperature: Physical property

At room temperature, mercury is a liquid: Physical property

Apple slices turn brown when exposed to air: Chemical property

Phosphorus will ignite when exposed to air: Chemical property

Explanation:

Physical property is defined as the property of a substance which becomes evident during physical change in which there is alteration in shape, size etc. No new substance gets formed during physical change.

Example:  Neon is a colorless gas at room temperature

At room temperature, mercury is a liquid.

Chemical property is defined as the property of a substance which becomes evident during chemical change in which a change in chemical composition takes place. A new substance is formed in these reactions.

Example: Apple slices turn brown when exposed to air: It undergoes oxidation which is a chemical change

Phosphorus will ignite when exposed to air: It undergoes oxidation which is a chemical change

The mass of calcium phosphate the reaction can produce is <u>6.076</u> grams.

<h3>What is mass?</h3>

Mass is a numerical measure of inertia, which is a basic feature of all matter. It is, in effect, a body of matter's resistance to a change in speed or position caused by the application of a force.

In the International System of Units (SI), the kilogram is the unit of mass.

Given;

Mass of calcium nitrate (Ca(NO₃)₂) = 96.1 g

Mass of calcium phosphate=?

The chemical equation is found as;

3Ca(NO₃)₂ + 2Na₃PO₄ → 6NaNO₃ + Ca₃(PO4)₂

3 moles of Ca(NO₃)₂ produces 1 mole of Ca₃(PO4)molar mass of calcium phosphate is 164 g/mol

Moles are found as the ratio of the mass of the compound and its molar mass. Moles of Ca(NO₃)₂ is n.

n = 96.1/164 = 0.5859 moles

Moles of Ca3(PO4)2 produced ;

N=0.0589 ×(1/3) = 0.0196 moles

The molar mass of calcium phosphate is 310 g/mol and the mass of calcium phosphate produced will be;

M=0.0196×310

M = 6.076 g

Hence,the mass of calcium phosphate the reaction can produce is <u>6.076</u> grams.
