The right answer is D.

The slopes are differentiated by the following criteria:

*The inclination;

*The orientation;

*The shape of the slope.

The slope can be measured by degrees or percentages. In the mountains, it is necessary to measure the inclination of a slope by degrees and not by percentages of inclination.

to make the conversion it is necessary to consider that a slope of 45 ° equals a slope of 100%.

D. the angle of their slope is greater than 40 degrees.

Oversteepened slopes often lead to mass movements because the angle of their slope is greater than 40 degrees.


NOT:
A. the angle of their slope is between 50 and 60 degrees.
B. plants cannot grow on them. 
C. the angle of their slope is less than 50 degrees.

A compound is determined to have the empirical formula C2OH4. If the molar mass of the compound is 132 g/mol, determine the mole

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer: The molecular formula will be $C_6O_3H_{12}$

Explanation:

Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Empirical weight of $C_2OH_{4}$ is $12\times 2+16\times 1+1\times 4=44g$

Molecular mass of compound is = 132 g

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight}}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{132}{44}=3$

The molecular formula will be= $3\times C_2OH_4=C_6O_3H_{12}$

What are 2 of the characteristics of temporary physical change

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

Temporary in nature.

No new substance is formed.

Explanation:

Temporary in nature: Does not affect the internal structure of a substance, only the molecules are rearranged.

No new substance is formed: Most of the physical changes are reversible. We can obtain the substance back even after the change.

hope this helps

have an awesome day -TJ

Below is the Lewis structure of the hydrogen cyanide molecule.

lianna [129]

Answer :

The number of bonding pairs of electrons around the hydrogen atom = 2

The number of lone pairs of electrons around the hydrogen atom = 0

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, $HCN$

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons, hydrogen has '1' valence electrons and nitrogen has '5' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $HCN$ = 1 + 4 + 5 = 10

According to Lewis-dot structure we conclude that, there are 8 number of bonding electrons and 2 number of non-bonding electrons.

The number of bonding pairs of electrons around the hydrogen atom = 2

The number of lone pairs of electrons around the hydrogen atom = 0
