Answer:

porosity=23.07%

x=5.974*10^9cm^3

Explanation:

One liter of oven-dry soil sampled from the Chorro Creek Ranch field requires 300 g of water to completely saturate it.

Calculate (a) its porosity, n, and (b) the volume of water required to saturate the top 20 cm of 1 hectare of the field.

-Porosity of a soil sample can be calculated in five ways but i shall use the formula below

porosity=\frac{volume of pore}{volume of total} *100%%

volume  pore volume of sample is equal to water volume used to saturate the soil

total volume=sample volume +pore volume

1L=1000cm^3

density of water=density=mass/volume

1g/cm^3=300g/volume

vol=300cm^3

total volume=300+1000

1300

porosity =(300/1300)*100%

porosity=23.07%

2. Recall that volume=area *height

1 hectare=1*10^9cm^2

the volume of soil sample=1*10^9cm^2*20cm

2*10^10cm^3

porosity=\frac{x}{x+2*10^{10} } *100%%

23%=x/(x+2*10^10)*100%

x=5.974*10^9cm^3

Is CO, an air pollutant? How does it differ from other emissions resulting from the combustion of fossil fuels?
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Explanation:

CO, carbon monoxide is a toxic gas. It casues asphixiation on people and animals by interfering with hemoglobin, not allowing blood to transport oxygen to the cells in the body.

The normal emissions resulting from the combustion  of fussil fuels are CO2 (carbon dioxide) and H2O (water). Carbon monoxide is formed by an incomplete combustion of fossil fuels or carbon containing fuels in general, this not only produces toxic gas, but also is an inefficient combustion that wastes energy.
