Answer:

Explanation:

Rainwater harvesting is the accumulation and storage of rainwater for reuse on-site, rather than allowing it to run off. Rainwater can be collected from rivers or roofs, and in many places, the water collected is redirected to a deep pit (well, shaft, or borehole), a reservoir with percolation, or collected from dew or fog with nets or other tools. Its uses include water for gardens, livestock,[1] irrigation, domestic use with proper treatment, indoor heating for houses, etc. The harvested water can also be used as drinking water, longer-term storage, and for other purposes such as groundwater recharge.

Rainwater harvesting is one of the simplest and oldest methods of self-supply of water for households usually financed by the user.[2]

Answer:

Rainwater harvesting is discussed below.

Explanation:

Rainwater harvesting is assembling the run-off from construction or other impenetrable covering to save it for succeeding use.
Traditionally, this comprises collecting the rainwater from a rooftop.
The rainwater will accumulate in gutters that route the water into downspouts and then into some kind of accommodation container.

Which feature indicates that Mars resides in the inner region of the solar system?

amm1812

Answer: The correct option is B.

Explanation: There are 2 regions of the solar system.

1) Inner region: There are 4 planets which lie in this region: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The inner region planets are rocky in nature. The orbit time of these planets around the sun is short. They have 0, 1 or 2 satellites in total. There is no ring system in these planets.

2) Outer region: There are 4 planets which lie in this region: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The outer region planets are gaseous in nature. The orbit time of these planets around the sun is long. They have usually more number of satellites around them. Ring system in these planets is very common.

Hence, Mars resides in the inner region of the solar system because it has a rocky surface that one could firmly stand on.

What effect would a decrease or increase in barometric pressure have on the boiling point

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

Pressure Affects the Boiling Point

Atmospheric pressure influences the boiling point of water. When atmospheric pressure increases, the boiling point becomes higher, and when atmospheric pressure decreases (as it does when elevation increases), the boiling point becomes lower.

For the generic equilibrium HA(aq) ⇌ H+(aq) + A−(aq), which of these statements is true? For the generic equilibrium , which of

timama [110]

Answer: The correct statement is if you add the soluble salt KA to a solution of HA that is at equilibrium, the pH would increase.

Explanation:

Common ion effect is defined as the effect which occurs on equilibrium when a common ion (an ion which is already present in the solution) is added to a solution. This effect generally decreases the solubility of a solute.

Equilibrium reaction of HA and KA follows the equation:

$HA\rightleftharpoons H^{+}(aq.)+A^{-}(aq.)$

$KA\rightleftharpoons K^+(aq.)+A^{-}(aq.)$

According to Le-Chateliers principle, if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction in order to minimize the effect.

In the equilibrium reactions, $A^-$ ion is getting increased on the product side, so the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize this effect, which is in the direction of HA.

Thus, the addition of KA will shift the equilibrium in the left direction.

Equilibrium constant depends on the temperature of the system. It does not have any effect on any change of pH.

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ions present in the solution

If the solution has high hydrogen ion concentration, then the pH will be low.
If the solution has low hydrogen ion concentration, then the pH will be high.

As, the equilibrium is shifting in the left direction, that means concentration of $H^+$ ions are getting decreases. This will increase the pH of the solution.
