The correct option is A.

Sediments refers to those particles that are found inside water bodies such as rivers, streams, etc. The ability of the water bodies to carry these particles when flowing depend on the rate of flow of the river. A fast flowing river has high velocity and this will enable it to carry with it most of the particles that are found in it. For instance, a fast flowing river will conveniently carry sand size sediments wit its flow because of its high velocity.

The correct answer is option a, that is, it would lift them and carry them downstream.  

The sediments refer to the particles, which are found within the water bodies like streams and rivers. The tendency of the water sources to carry the sediments relies on the rate at which it is flowing. For example, a fast flowing river, that is, flowing with a greater velocity will possess the tendency to lift the majority of the sediments and carry them downstream with it.

Lead (II) chloride (PbCl2) has a Ksp of 1.17 x 10-5. Calculate the molar solubility of PbCl2, in moles per liter. Enter your ans
bixtya [17]

Answer:

1.43 * 10^-2

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to get the ionization equation for lead I chloride. We can then get the Initial, change and equilibrium table of the lead and chloride ions that can help us calculate the molar solubility. This is shown as follows:

PbCl2(s) --> Pb2+(aq) + 2 Cl-(aq)

This shows that one mole of lead ii chloride will yield 1 mole of the lead ion and 2 moles of the chloride ion.

The ICE table is shown below:

Pb2+ 2Cl-

Initial 0.00 0.00

Change +s +2s

Equilibrium s 2s

Ksp = [Pb2+][Cl-]^2

Ksp = [s][2s]^2

Ksp = 4s^3

s^3 = Ksp/4

s = cube.root [Ksp/4]

s = cube.root[1.17 * 10^-5/4]

s = 1.43 * 10^-2

Answer:

B. Lower than 100 °C because hydrogen sulfide has dipole-dipole interactions instead of hydrogen bonding.

Explanation:

Intermolecular bonds exists between seperate molecules or units. Their relative strength determines many physical properties of substances like state of matter, solubility of water, boiling point, volatility, viscosity etc. Examples are Van der waals forces, hydrogen bonds and crystal lattice forces.

In hydrogen sulfide, the intermolecular bond is a dipole-dipole attraction which is a type of van der waals attraction. It occurs as an attraction between polar molecules. These molecules line such that the positive pole of one molecule attracts the negative pole of another.

In water, the intermolecular bond is hydrogen bonds in which an electrostatic attraction exists between the hydrogen atom of one molecule and the electronegative atom of a neighbouring molecule.

Based on their relative strength:

  Van der Waals forces < Hydrogen bonding forces < crystal lattice

This makes water boil at a higher temperature than hydrogen sulfide.
