Bezzdna [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Everything is explained below in the Explanation section.

Explanation:

<em>a) TMDL stands for = Total Daily Maximum Loads</em>

TMDL is the measure of total maximum amount of pollutant allowed in the water body. TMDL is a important tool to maintain the quality of water and measure the aquatic pollution.

Whereas, the formula to calculate TMDL is as follows:

TMDL =  Sum of waste load allocations (point source) + Sum of load allocations (non point sources and background) + Margin of Safety

 

<em>b) Dead Zones :</em>

Dead zones are zones which are termed as hypoxic which are low in oxygen because of the extreme aquatic pollution caused by human activities which in result deplete the oxygen level above the and below the oceans most required by the marine life. In addition, dead zones are those areas where oxygen is low and life in danger is high comparatively to other areas of oceans.

The main cause of that dead zones is because of eutrophication which means adding dangerous chemical nutrients in the water in exceeding amounts.

<em>c) Why Ammonia-nitrogen is detrimental to waterbodies: </em>

1. Ammonia nitrogen is a very toxic pollutant often found in landfills and sewage and waste products.

2. Ammonia nitrogen reduces the ability of water to disinfect its inhabitants and it reduces the purity. Furthermore, it changes the smell of the water and pollutes it.

3. Last but not the least, if you increase the concentration of ammonia nitrogen, the dissolved oxygen rate will be decreased and it has a inverse relation which is very dangerous to marine life underwater.

<em>d) Streeter-Phelps DO curve:</em>

Please refer to the attachment, I have attached the curve.

This curve is used to evaluate the dissolved oxygen in the water with varying distance.

It can be further studied from the curve that, how much loss sewage and other pollutants can endure upon the marine life.

A growing trend in urban design is the concept of a rooftop garden. If every building in a city were to install a rooftop garden
vlabodo [156]

Answer:The Urban heat island temperature will be REDUCED.

Two Impacts of Rooftop gardens

1) provision of shade against Sunlight.

2) It helps to purify the air around the building.

Explanation: Rooftop gardens are gardens made on top of the roofs of buildings, it is a Green initiative aimed at helping to improve the overall Environment.

Rooftop gardens have several significant benefits which includes

Reduction of the surrounding temperatures and the Urban heat Island temperatures.

Rooftop gardens helps to shade the roof from the direct impacts of harsh weather conditions.

Generally, plants are known as air purifiers as they remove the excess Carbondioxide around the environment through photosynthesis, and they also help to release water vapor which will help to improve the humidity of the environment.

Two substances, A and B, initially at different temperatures, come into contact and reach thermal equilibrium. The mass of subst
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of substance A is 1.16 J/g

Explanation:

The substances A and B come to a thermal equilibrium, therefore, the heat given by the hotter substance B is absorbed by the colder substance A.

The equation becomes:

Heat release by Substance B = Heat Gained by Substance A

The heat can be calculated by the formula:

Heat = mCΔT

where,

m = mass of substance

C = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = difference in temperature of substance

Therefore, the equation becomes:

(mCΔT) of A = (mCΔT) of B

<u>FOR SUBSTANCE A:</u>

m = 6.01 g

ΔT = Final Temperature - Initial Temperature

ΔT = 46.1°C - 20°C = 26.1°C

C = ?

<u>FOR SUBSTANCE B:</u>

m = 25.6 g

ΔT = Initial Temperature - Final Temperature

ΔT = 52.2°C - 46.1°C = 6.1°C

C = 1.17 J/g

Therefore, eqn becomes:

(6.01 g)(C)(26.1°C) = (25.6 g)(1.17 J/g)(6.1°C)

C = (182.7072 J °C)/(156.861 g °C)

<u>C = 1.16 J/g</u>
