Answer:

The possible solution is to balance the rate of water removal from the well to the rate of natural recharge of the well from its underground aquifer.

Explanation:

A well is an excavation in the earth, made with the aim of extracting water from the aquifers. The water from a well can be drawn up by the means of a pump, containers, such as buckets, or by hand. Aquifers can also be recharged through a well.

Well draw down occurs when water from the well is drained faster than it is naturally recharged from the aquifer. This can be as a result of over pumping, extended drought, among other factors. The use of the high-powered motor in this case, for pumping, might be the possible cause of the well drying up. The situation might have resulted from the pump drawing out water from the well at a rate tat exceeds the rate at which it is recharged naturally, causing the well water to start drying up. There's also a possibility that the well is pumped indiscriminately, possibly leading to wastage of water.

The solution to this problem is to give the well a time duration for it to recharge itself. Then, the rate of recharges should be calculated and determined by an hydrologist. When all these is done, a pump with a motor power that does not exceed the calculated recharge rate should be used in place of the high-powered motor. Also, water usage should be brought to the minimum level to prevent unnecessary pumping due to excessive, wasteful use of water.

Answer:

1. $S^{-}(g)+e^{-} \rightarrow S^{2-}(g)$

2. $Ti^{2+}(g) \rightarrow Ti^{3+}(g) \,\, IE = 2652.5\,kJ.mol^{-1}$

3.The electron affinity of $Mg^{2+}$ is zero.

4. $O^{2-}(g) \rightarrow O^{-}(g)+e^{-}$

Explanation:

<u>Electron affinity:</u>

It is defined as the amount of energy change when an electron is added to atom in the gaseous phase.

The electron affinity of $S^{-}$ is as follows.

$S^{-}(g)+e^{-} \rightarrow S^{2-}(g)$

<u>Ionization energy</u>:

Amount of energy required to removal of an electron from an isolated gaseous atom.

The third ionization energy of Titanium is as follows.

$Ti^{2+}(g) \rightarrow Ti^{3+}(g) \,\, IE = 2652.5\,kJ.mol^{-1}$

The electronic configuration of Mg: $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}$

By the removal of two electrons from a magnesium element we get $Mg^{2+}$ ion.

$Mg^{2+}$ has inert gas configuration i.e, $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}$

Hence, it does not require more electrons to get stability.

Therefore,the electron affinity of $Mg^{2+}$ is zero.

The ionization energy of $O^{2-}$ is follows.

$O^{2-}(g) \rightarrow O^{-}(g)+e^{-}$

When NH4NO3 spontaneously dissolves in water the temperature of the solution decreases. What factors make this a naturally occu

erma4kov [3.2K]

Explanation:

Once solid ammonium nitrate interacts with water, the molecules of polar water intermingle with these ions and attract individual ions from the structure of the lattice, that actually will break down. E.g;-NH4NO3(s) — NH4+(aq)+ NO3-(aq) To split the ionic bonds that bind the lattice intact takes energy that is drained from the surroundings to cool the solution.

Some heat energy is produced once the ammonium and nitrate ions react with the water molecules (exothermic reaction), however this heat is far below that is needed by the H2O molecules to split the powerful ionic bonds in the solid ammonium nitrate.

Hence, we can say that the dissolution of ammonium nitrate in water is highly endothermic reaction.
